I am a Jungle Jim’s Musical Adventure Blogger Ambassador. This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. I haven't met a kid who doesn't love music from very early on in their lives. When my kids are restless, I can usually calm them down with a music video or show that features music throughout each scene. So, when I turned on the Jungle Jim - A Musical Wildlife ...

Chuck E Cheese Celebrates 40 Years of Fun with Giveaways!
February break is coming up for NYC kids and what better way to spend it than with good old fashioned family fun. Now, the term "old fashioned" has to be redefined because my 7 year old thinks that oldies are the 80s and I can't believe that was over 30 years ago- I'm still coming to grips with that! One thing that's stayed the same across our generations are Chuck E Cheese. It was THE place to go for family fun in "the old days" and still is a ...

A Special Peppa Valentine’s Day for the Little Ones!
Valentine's Day is traditionally a romantic day for couples to celebrate, go out on a date, have a drink, buy flowers, and eat chocolate. Once you have kids, your Valentine's traditions may change- like my first Valentine's Day as a new mom. My husband and I decided to stay home and make a surf and turf dinner with steak and lobster while my little one sat next to us at the dinner table. It was the beginning of a new era of life for us and hasn't ...

Sick days are Mario Party Days
It has been quite a week. My oldest started to feel a little sick on Sunday, and by Monday she sounded much worse. Her doctor was confused by her symptoms- fluid in her lungs, but no fever. He didn't seem too worried, prescribed albuterol inhalation and sent us home. By Friday she was worse and time for antibiotics. This kid can't catch a break! We thought after having her tonsils removed she would feel so much better, but since she doesn't get ...
Girls Night In: The Light Between Oceans
My friends and I try to get together at least twice a month. Some months it may be more frequently and some may be not at all. We talk everyday and keep our bond strong by sharing our parenting joys and woes together. It's nice to have amazing friends to go through this journey with. Last weekend we had an impromptu taco night at my house. What started off as definite plans the week before quickly became my forgotten plans. I had invited them all ...
Our 7 Year Old’s Early Reading Journey
Disclosure- Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. I was pretty impressed to find out my daughter was a top reader in her class. When she first started learning to read in kindergarten, she struggled. I didn't know if it was because she had a substitute while her teacher was on maternity leave, or if reading just wouldn't be her strong suit. It took me many years to learn that I had an issue with reading comprehension myself. I ...
