ChickAdvisor newcomer Sandy Caetano gets an extra special welcome from the other Mama on our team! This sassy addition to the site works hard to juggle family and career, but still manages to pull it all off with flair. Do we hate her because she makes it seem so easy? Hardly! Deep down, she's still a girl with a purse fetish... and we just might identify with that :)

With such a busy schedule, how do you take time for yourself?

Sandy
Time? What spare time? My two little boys take up all of my time. While they’re napping I’m working, trying to make dinner, or trying to keep my house organized. When they’re out cold for the night, I love to curl up on the couch and read a great book. I must admit that lately, it hasn’t been a book: I’ve been playing the new Super Mario Bros for Wii. I’m quite addicted.

Tell us about your (not so) secret weakness!

Sandy
I have two of them - handbags and ice cream. Put me in a purse shop, especially Guess, and I'm in heaven!

Do you have a favourite?

Sandy
I bought this grey Guess bag on sale during the holidays. I never leave home without it!

ChickAdvisor
Who is your #1 celebrity crush?

Sandy
There are so many that are rather hunk-ish, but I must say my #1 is Criminal Minds' Shemar Moore.

Is there one thing you swore you'd never wear, but now can't live without?

Sandy
A number of years ago when I started seeing all these girls wearing those TNA pants from Aritzia, I thought “you won’t catch me wearing those pants, they’re too snug and show everything.” But, I fell off my high horse and bought a pair during the holidays. These black spandex, flared yoga pants are the most comfortable things I have ever worn. Don’t knock it until you try it!

What is one of the biggest highlights of your life so far?

Sandy
My family - my husband of 4 1/2 years and our two boys are my life, the reason I get up every morning. My hubby and I have been best friends since I was 16, so marrying him and having our babies is definitely the highlight of my life.
