Since September, I have had only one week each month where no one in my family is sick. I don't know what's different this year, but with two in school, and my husband working in a school, our house has become a petri dish. We leave our shoes and jackets in the foyer, and I ...

Our Father-Daughter Winter Wonderland Dance was a Success!
Thanks to Oriental Trading for providing some of the products mentioned below. Father-Daughter dances seem to be the quintessential standard for many schools across America. Attending a NYC public school, I never had an opportunity to attend one growing up. When the PTA of my daughter's school decided this would be the first year we would host a Father-Daughter dance, I was excited. I knew my daughters would love to attend, and I knew we could ...
Celebrating Season 2 of Just Add Magic with a Peppy Pixie Pretzel Recipe
My oldest daughter is growing up and growing out of many programs on tv. I noticed she gravitates towards shows with actual people and away from cartoons. She's understanding different situations and growing up before my eyes. As she navigates through our Amazon Prime shows, she stops and reads descriptions to see if those shows match her interest. When she got yo Just Add Magic, she was immediately intrigued and played the show. Within a few ...

Comfort in my own skin
Whether your clothes are bulky for fall or lighter for summer, you are either comfortable in your skin or you're not. In the cooler seasons, I can hide my problem areas from three pregnancies under high rise jeans and long sweaters. I can even hide my love handles caused by too many bagels and donuts. But no matter what, I still feel self-conscious about areas that I am quick to hide. A friend told me how she heard of a simple procedure that can ...
Valentine’s Day Bubble Gum Cupcake Recipe
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and what would be better than baking up some yummy bubble gum cupcakes with the kids? Those large gum balls always give me a sense of nostalgia from my childhood, and to this day I get excited when I see a gumball machine. These cupcakes are adorable, and easy to make with fresh ingredients. If your child is too young for gumballs, you can eliminate it from the top and enjoy the vibrant pink swirls in the ...
Tackling the Empty Picture Frames With Epson
Disclosure: Product provided for review. We all know that the first baby gets all the pictures up in the house and the second baby gets jilted. Forget the third baby, they are lucky you remember their birthday (I'm the third child, believe me, it's true!) My husband constantly comments on the empty picture frames in the hallway I asked him to hang up last spring so I can fill them with pictures when I get to them. But, between having a toddler ...
A Magical Experience at One World Observatory This Christmas!
I love this time of year for so many reasons, but seeing family I haven't seen in a while is the biggest one of all. While I make it a point to see close family regularly, there are those who live too far away to see more than once or twice a year. There is nothing like Christmas in New York, especially when there is so much to see and do in your backyard! As my kids get older, they become more aware of how lucky they are to live in such a ...
