We are getting ready to embark on a southern adventure with all three kids. I have no idea how my parents did it in the 90s. They use to pack the trunk of their car with coolers & clothes, and have 3 kids in the back seat. They made it look easy. No reservations for hotels, no real solid plans on sightseeing, just winging it and making it look effortless. We have pictures of these beautiful sights along the east coast and hot spots we ...

Encouraging Reading With Fun, Interactive Books from Pai Technology
This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. My oldest child has moved up the reading charts at such a fast rate, her teacher had a hard time keeping up with level-appropriate books. According to her teachers, she's reading at an advanced 4th grade level, but the content in those books may be too mature for her age group. I still don't understand how she has ...
Premium Salads from McDonalds are a Hit
This post was sponsored by McDonald’s as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. We totally missed spring in NYC. The weather went from cold to hot within a week, and our food choices have changed as well. Some days it's too hot to turn on an oven or to eat a heavy meal. My family snacks on crisp veggies all day long and refreshing fruit, but some days you need a little more. After ...

Jewerly Safety Tips For Children
A love of accessories often begins at a young age…with plastic necklaces, rhinestone tiaras and mom’s old costume jewelry. Soon, though, those introductory pieces lead to kids wanting their own bedazzled treasures. As pierced ears usher in collections of new earrings, other accessories soon follow as fashion fads lead the need for chokers, bangle bracelets and tiny toe rings. Unfortunately, while those cute and on-trend accessories might make a ...
Dessert on the BBQ grill
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HONEY MAID Grahams, HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate and JET-PUFFED Marshmallows. Summer is just around the corner, despite winter taking its time and keeping NYC unseasonably cool this past week. I'm looking forward to so much- not waking up at 6 am to get everyone ready for school, not having to pack lunches, having my kids home and going on day trips, and, of course, BBQ season! We LOVE BBQs ...
Travel Tricks I’ve Learned With Three Kids
This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Just one week left of school and we have already planned a few summer excursions. My kids can be amazing in the car, or they can be beasts. There is no in between and no real way to know how their temperament will be beforehand. We've had amazing car trips and trips that made us rethink ever traveling with them again. ...
