It's so easy for kids to get wrapped up in the super heroes they see on TV. The real heroes are people who walk amongst us and this past week we celebrated National Superhero Day with a trip to the New York City Fire Museum. PJ Masks was the theme, since kids can easily relate to the colorful animated characters who are real kids during the day and fight kiddie-crime at night. I have to admit- although I heard of PJ Masks because my kids ...

Preventing Night Time Leaks During Potty Training with #PampersEasyUps (#GIVEAWAY)
Potty Training: it's a rite of passage for both parents and baby. It can be easy or difficult, depending on the temperament of the child, readiness, and tools at your disposal (and by tools I mean tricks up your sleeve!) My oldest potty trained in 3 days. My middle, well, let's just say Pampers Easy Ups are saving us every night. If your child seems to be showing you signs of readiness, the spring is a great time to jump-start a new routine to ...
The Muddy Puddles Project Raises Money For Pediatric Cancer Research
We all know how much kids love Peppa Pig, but now there's an even bigger reason to love the witty pink pig. The Muddy Puddles Project is a fundraising platform for the Ty Louis Campbell (TLC) Foundation, a certified 501(c)(3) that funds pediatric cancer research. The project was inspired by Ty, a little boy who loved Peppa Pig and dreamed of jumping in muddy puddles when his cancer was cured. Since his passing, the Muddy Puddles Project ...
Ratchet and Clank Comes To Life on the Big Screen!
This post is sponsored by Ratchet and Clank and SheKnows Media. Now that both my girls are at a good age for the movie theater, we've been on the lookout for the next best children's flick. When my oldest mentioned Ratchet & Clank from a recent trailer she saw, it brought back memories of my cousin playing the Ratchet and Clank video game a decade ago. I've always loved when familiar characters from my younger days make a comeback so my ...

There’s #MoreToMigraine than Just a Headache #IC #ad
The 36 million Americans who suffer from migraines know it's not only just a headache. Sure, the intense headache may be one of the more debilitating features of a full blown migraine, but the nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sounds are enough to make anyone want to hide under the covers until relief comes. After comparing notes with my fellow migraine-suffering friends, I've learned that many are aware of their triggers. My triggers ...
Gorgeous Mother’s Day Flowers from @Teleflora
My husband use to live next door to a florist and he use to always have interesting stories about two events- Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Both events elicited double and triple-parked cars, causing a ton of traffic, and lines from the florist spanning half way up the block. I've been known to sort of turn off during these holidays and not give into the hype of Mother's Day flowers, but something's changed in the most recent years. I've ...
Snack Break for Little Adventurers
My kids are quite the adventurers. Whether the sun is out or there is snow on the ground, we try to keep them active. Depending on the weather, we can spend a day at the park or at the children's museum. These excursions usually involve meal-time planning to ensure an empty belly doesn't lead to a full blown tantrum. I'll often pack something easy to eat in the car, like a sandwich, grapes, and carrot sticks. Aside from a good lunch, snacks are a ...
