This week on 980 WCAP-AM we were talking Oscar wrap-up! So many great movies were nominated and so many fun fashions to discuss. We talked about this and more on the trendymommies report on 980 WCAP-AM.

Athletes, Olympics and Kids
My kids and I enjoyed watching the Olympics. I also watched with them a show during the Olympics called, “How to Raise an Olympic Athlete”. It was tough to see what the family goes through to train and see their dreams come true, but it was also inspiring. We talked about this and more on this week’s trendymommies report on 980 WCAP-AM. Listen in!
Have you picked out a gift yet for your Valentine? Â We at trendymommies see many great gift ideas in beauty and fashion. Here are just a couple that came across our desk and are perfect for the Valentine in your life.
Want something different to give mom? It’s not a scarf or jewelry but a Jewelry Scarf form the company camibands. This is so fun and at 80 inches in length the styling possibilites are endless. Use as a scarf, a belt a necklace or even a hair accessory. At $24.99 you can buy more than one!
As moms we love a bit of pampering so of course we love the items at QVC! The Laura Geller Gloss on the go ($30.00) from QVC is a great buy with multiple glosses in a cute make-up case in the shape of lips. The Josie Maran Be Comforted Body Butter ($32.00) is so soothing and smells great. Mom will love it!
If you are a traditional gift giver any of the yummy chocolate treats from LINDOR chocolate would be a welcome gift (hint, hint: for those dads out there) We love the Elegance Heart (10.6 oz. for $14.99) filled with delicious LINDOR Milk Chocolate truffles and are sure to melt the heart of your Valentine. The new Mini Sticks Bag (4.9 oz for $3.99, makes a great gift for the kids) This small bag of delicious assortments of Strawberry Cheesecake, Caramel Brownie, Cookies and Cream and Crunchy Nougat chocolate mini sticks are just enough to keep on your desk and have handy when a chocolate craving strikes.  We also love the Classic Romance Heart (9.8 oz. for $19.99). This romantic heart is filled with delectable classic assorted praline chocolates and is the perfect gift!

Disclosure: The above companies send me the products listed above to review. All opinions are my own.

Valentine’s Day is next week so you better get going on your shopping. On 980 WCAP-AM we talked about Valentine’s Day gifts for the man in your life. We love this gift idea – it’s like a gift basket for men. It’s called mancrates.com
Grammy Awards Fashion
It is awards season and that means time to discuss fashions hits and misses. I usually fast forward through the Grammy awards telecast but since I have tweens they wanted to watch the whole thing!
So here is my recap. For this type of awards ceremony we expect the unexpected. A little bit of wild, leather, lace, out of the ordinary but this time it felt like the Oscars. (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) LOVED Taylor Swift’s Gucci dress. Although I see what she was trying to accomplish – fun and music – I did not care for Katie Perry’s dress. Loved the color of Miranda Lambert’s dress but it felt more like an Oscar’s dress than Grammy Awards. Paris Hilton, just no. Same for the zebra dress Paula Patton was wearing. My favorite dress was the one Colbie Callat was wearing. I always love a red dress and this one was perfect.
Finally the hat – you know which one. Everyone is talking about it and I guess that is why it makes news – it was odd, out of the ordinary and unexpected but isn’t that what the Grammy Awards fashions are all about?
@MassWomen #MassWomen Recap @980WCAP
I thought The Massachusetts Conference For Women was great this year. I had not been in a few years so it was fun to cover the event and see lots of familiar faces. Here is a recap.

Tis the season to decorate
Christmas is coming so fast this year. How many of you had your decorations up by Thanksgiving? (I know all the retail stores did!) Each year we get a real tree but I really want an artificial one – one that I can decorate, cover and put away in the basement until next Christmas! It does take a while to decorate your home for the holidays. I have to admit I did start before Thanksgiving so that decorating the tree would not take so long. I think I am going to take steps each year to slowly decorate the whole house so it does not seem like such a chore! This year I did the decorating all by myself with a little help from the elves (my two kids). If you are looking for decorating help this season or are looking for help with your holiday party or staging call Gretchen at The Fancy Kind! Â
It always helps to have extra hands (and a good eye) when it comes to decorating, staging and party planning! Here are a few photos of my decorating skills!
