Bathing a newborn is one of the scariest things about bringing baby home from the hospital. This fragile baby is so small and might as well have a sign that says "slippery when wet!" When I brought my first baby home from the hospital, I had to have my mom come and bathe her the first time. I wasn't sure what to do or how to hold her. I was afraid of her being cold, or worse, slipping out of my hands. As soon as my newborn's cord fell off, I ...

Beach Days are Here! Keep Everyone Safe This Summer (Summer Prize Pack Giveaway!)
We took my toddler to the beach for the first time last year and she loved it! She has no concept of hot and cold weather coinciding with summer or winter, so she can't quite understand why we couldn't go to the beach the past few months. We have a beach house on Long Island and she begs to go every time she remembers. I can't wait until our schedule is a little less crazy so that we can go again. Keeping her safe at the beach involves many ...

It’s Picnic Season! What’s in YOUR basket?
My toddler loves to pretend that our living room is a beach and we are having a picnic when it is time for dinner. It gets her to eat, and encourages her imagination, so we all play along. A few weeks ago I purchased a large picnic mat because I am planning many trips to Central Park for picnics this summer.

Indoor plans with Movies OnDemand (#Giveaway!)
Our summer schedule is jam packed with fun and exciting events, from swimming lessons, zoo/aquarium trips, and even a special family getaway at the end of the summer. With so much going on, I'm sure downtime will be necessary, especially on rainy days when we just want to lounge around the house. There have been plenty of playdates that took place indoors with a movie instead of being cancelled due to rain. On those days, I'm thankful for Movies ...

Summer days are here and you know what that means? Time to go outside and PLAY!!

Despite technology and video games more prominent now than during my childhood days, children still love to get out and play, explore, and of course, race each other on ride on ...
Why is Vitamin C Important?
We've all heard that Vitamin C is good for us but do you know why? Many people take Vitamin C when they are battling a cold. Others take it to prevent a cold.

It is also necessary to aid the body in healing and preventing infection. While a baby is being breast fed or formula ...
