I picked out the glasses pictured above because when I first saw them, all I envisioned was a tall glass of ice cold orange juice. I don't know why, but these glasses are THE glass for some refreshing OJ! Okay, so of course we use the glasses for all beverages in our home and I love when they are clean and spotless. I have to admit- when my hubby washes the dishes (pre-dishwasher) there were always water spots left behind. I was warned these ...

Teach Kids Manners with Kindness Kingdom
I must be getting old, because when kids are being rude I complain that their parents aren't teaching them manners. Let this be a public apology to all those parents out there that I criticized. My preschool will say please and thank you for just about anything, but she can also be rude and pushy. I'm working on it, but I can now see that although parents are a huge contributing factor to children's manners, children can also be defiant all on ...
A Visit to the newly reopened NY Aquarium #ConeyComeback
I have a good friend who recently moved to Belgium. One of the reasons I miss her most is because although she was a working mom she always took her two children on great adventures on the weekends. Luckily I was often invited along with my own three kids. Two years ago (when I only had my two boys), she introduced me to the NY Aquarium. I loved it, the kids loved it, and we had an amazing day inside the Aquarium, and enjoying the boardwalk. ...
What Would You Do With $1 Million?
Did you ever wonder what you would do with $1 million? Living in NYC, I can tell you that a million dollars will not get you far around here, especially if you are buying real estate. Houses and even small apartments in prime NYC run anywhere from $500,000 and up, topping at over millions of dollars. It's crazy, and this is the state we live in, but we are so rooted I can't see us leaving, ever. Aside from purchasing a home to call our own, ...
Fun, Educational Games for Kids (#Giveaway) @SuperDuperPub
Although I was a teacher, I always felt that it was important to let kids play and let them learn along the way. I never believed in shoving education in their faces and putting a huge emphasis on academics at a young age. I am guilty, however, of seeking fun educational toys for my girls. Since children learn through play, just about anything can be used as an educational tool for a child. Now that my preschooler is old enough for structured or ...

Brave’s Merida with Angus Figures!
“Mommy, can we go to the moviiiiiieeeesssss?” my 4 year-old asks. I respond, “well, maybe Grandma and Grandpa can take you while we have our open house.” My husband and I were selling our house about a year ago and we relied heavily on my parents to help with the kids. The movie “Brave” was playing and I thought it was a great opportunity to get the kids out of the house while watching a movie with a great message about bravery. Fast forward ...
