It's been a long few weeks for my family. It almost feels as if my and my daughters are "displaced" as we renovate our new home and pack up our old home. Neither feels like "home" at the moment and it's starting to affect my oldest daughter who has had mood changes lately. They say kids adapt easy, and I do believe that, but with the back and forth and in between, it's bound to temporarily affect them. Just to give a little back story- we were ...

The perfect costume for my toddler!!
It's that time of year again! Time to start thinking of the perfect Halloween costume for your little ones! My oldest has been flip flipping back and forth between two of her favorite princesses, while my youngest really doesn't grasp the concept or mind what I put get I'm yet.

Since my first daughter was born 4 years ago, my husband and I have made a conscious effort to make small changes to our routine. It started with our kitchen cleaners and then our food. We became aware of the harmful chemicals we were breathing in when we cleaned, and the toxins present in some of the foods we were eating. We wanted to give our daughter a great start, so making slow changes was easy for us. Unfortunately at the time there wasn't ...
aden+anais Introduces Their Organic Line!
When your baby is born you want to wrap them in the best, most comfortable fabrics you can find. I remember the first thing to touch my daughters' skin was the stiff hospital receiving blankets. I couldn't wait to get them home and wrap them in softer blankets. The thick, flannel-like blankets were all I knew but everything changed when I discovered aden+anais soft muslin receiving blankets. The first aden + anais product we owned was the bamboo ...
Dora the Explorer at @Macy’s! #HHM #sponsored
Do you have a Dora the Explorer fan in your home? My daughters go through phases of loving the fun, educational, and bilingual show.

The children listened to a story from Fatima Ptacek who interacted with the audience as she does on ...
Best Buy Can Help You Lower Your Energy Bill!
October is Energy Awareness Month and now that I have a much bigger house, energy usage concerns me. In my apartment, it was easy to see if my kids left a light on, or make sure the ceiling fans were turned off before I left. It didn't take much effort to check all the rooms since our apartment was small, and now with two floors to worry about and a central heating/air system I wonder if our electricity bill will be a lot higher that ...
