Although winter may have just officially started with the first real snow in NYC, I'm ready for the spring. I'm ready to ditch the layers, heavy jackets, boots and accessories and put on a pair of sandals. So, when you check out my review of umi shoes, please, don't think I'm out of my mind for wanting to get a head start on spring time accessories.

Nothing Like A Visit to @Outback! Enter to Win a $50 Gift Card!
My husband and I have been back and forth with whether or not my youngest daughter was able to handle going out to dinner with us. She can be quite rambunctious and active, so a nice, quite restaurant was out of the question. What we needed was a place with kid-friendly options.

I’m a Peppa Pig Parent!
My girls are typical sisters- they love each other one minute and need a referee the next.

You never know what you are getting when it comes to their temperaments, but when it's quiet time, the one thing they can both agree on is Peppa Pig. I don't know what it is about this lovable pink talking pig and her family, but ...
Small Steps to a Healthier 2015 #LittleChanges #IC #Sponsored
A lot of things changed when I had kids, including the foods I ate and my definition of snacks. In play groups with my first child, I was always the parent that brought fresh fruit and veggies along with us while other parents opted for dry and/or processed snacks.
