Making New Memories and Living Life Outside This Summer
Four years ago my husband and I couldn't wait to host in a backyard. At that time we had just purchased our first home and planned to go to closing a few months after. We had a lot of plans to change some things- the kitchen, the floors, and the backyard. What we didn't know that the process we started in March of 2013 would not be completed until October 2013 with no time to actually enjoy our backyard. By the following spring, we made it a ...
Summer Is Almost Here, Protect Your Youngest Family Members
This post was sponsored Auto Alliance as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I know NYC hasn't seen any solid signs of spring yet, aside from the blooming flowers we haven't seen more than a few hours of the sun in the past 3 weeks.

Disclosure- this post contains affiliate links While summer time is all about being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine, there will be, no doubt, a few days where we will be laying low and enjoying some family movie time. Summer in NYC can be pleasant, or it can be way too hot to get out, or thunderstorms that last for hours.

You Can Have a Doctor in Your Pocket with Doctor On Demand
Everyone I've spoken to in the past two weeks has mentioned their children catching colds lately. It seems that spring has sprung and so have cases of strep throat in our school. Since my oldest has had her tonsils out in October, strep hasn't invaded our home but we've had our bouts of other viral activity in here. From the flu to bronchitis, my kids have had their share of illnesses- but a few days ago after my little guy received a viral ...
