When I was pregnant with my first baby, I did a ton of research before making any baby gear purchases. I was looking for safe and functional, easy designs that would last for multiple children in gender neutral colors. Out of all my purchases, there is only one item that I was able to use for both children - the infant car seat. So, you can say that I was slightly disappointed when I had to buy new gear for baby #2. This time around I knew what I ...

Check Out KinderCare’s Open House! #TourKinderCare #ad
I've been a stay at home mom for 3 years now, but before that I was a working mom. When I was looking into child care options for my daughter, I did a ton of research. Did I want a one on one nanny? Did I mind taking her to someone's home or did I prefer to leave her in the comfort of our home? What about early childhood education centers? Did they teach or babysit? Will my child get the attention she deserves? It was overwhelming. Why shouldn't ...
It’s Time for a New Mattress! #SleepNumber #DualTemp (And a Sweepstakes for YOU!)
This is a public service announcement to all my female readers. Word of advice: don't let your hubby pick out your mattress. I made that mistake once and I will never do that again. Instead of buying our mattress from a mattress store, we bought it from a furniture store. I know you might think, "is there really a difference?" And the answer is yes. Would you go to a pediatrician for a c-section? Sure, your pediatrician might be a very skilled ...

Make Your Own Baby Food with the Baby Bullet! (#Giveaway)
Do you make your own baby food? I've been making my own baby food since my oldest daughter started solids. People use to think I was crazy - working full time as a teacher, taking night classes, and still managing to make my baby homemade food. Many times people would ask why I didn't just choose the easy way and just buy jarred food - it's all the same, right? Well, no, it's not. There are added ingredients such as citric acid and ...
Ju-Ju-Be – For The Moms Who Think of Everything! Be Right Back Review
This summer has been quite busy for my family. We have a lot going on and leave early in the morning and don't come home until late in the evening. I've learned that I have to be prepared for everything, because once we leave home I don't plan on coming back. We have gone on day trips to the Bronx Zoo, Queens Zoo, Central Park Zoo, and NY Aquarium in Coney Island. I'm trying to get as much in as I can this summer, before my daughter heads to full ...
Does Your Child Need Vitamins?
When my oldest daughter turned two, her doctor and I discussed supplements and whether or not they were necessary. Although my daughter ate well, she seemed to get sick a lot and I was raised thinking that a boost from vitamins was a good thing. I still think that, but I have come to learn that not all vitamins are made the same. If a vitamin is suppose to help your immune system, then why add artificial colors to them? Last I heard, artificial ...
jcpenney’s Round Up Campaign Helps Boys & Girls Clubs Nationwide! #sponsored
I first heard of the Boys & Girls Club when I was in elementary school. Many of my peers had parents who were not home to pick them up after school and arranged for the kids to go to after school programs at the Boys and Girls club. I was jealous- my friends participated in activities, made new friends, and even had homework help. At the time I thought that I was at an unfair advantage by having someone at home waiting for me, thus not ...
