Even before I was a teacher, I would try to get involved in community service as much as possible. It has been an interest of mine since my mom took me to a children's hospital when I was a kid to hold a luncheon for the children and their parents, and to pass out gifts. After that experience, I felt very strongly about helping out where I could. Since it is hard to help out financially, there are so many other ways to contribute. Most recently, ...

Be Prepared for Breastfeeding With The Right Clothing!
You waited 9 months for your little miracle to be born, and you have everything purchased from your registry cleaned and ready to be used. You have your heart set on breastfeeding and go out and buy the most expensive breast pump you find.

You waddle all the way to the maternity story, hoping ...
Whiten Your Teeth At Home With Smile Brilliant! (#Giveaway)
I think it's safe to say that you know at least one person who is on the smile train. They strive to get the whitest smiles and always seem to have perfectly pearly whites. I can't complain - my teeth aren't horribly discolored - I don't drink soda, but I am a coffee drinker, so I do have a little staining. It's no biggie - no reason to get a professional whitening treatment, but enough to make me want a slightly whiter smile. I knew I could ...
Safely Keep Them Warm At Night With HALO SleepSack (#Giveaway!)
My youngest daughter is on the move! Since she was born, we had her in a HALO SleepSack at night to keep her warm. Since blankets are a big no-no in cribs and generally around infants, we wanted to make sure she was safe and comfortable at night. My husband and I knew about the importance of putting our kids down to sleep without any loose sheets, bedding, and blankets, so we invested in a few HALO SleepSacks. What we didn't realize was that our ...
Check Out The Baby Snug by Mamas & Papas
Any seasoned mom will tell you that you really don't need all that gear you initially believed you needed when you create your baby registry. After having baby #2, I have put a lot of things in perspective: splurge on a sturdy stroller if you plan on having more than one baby, don't invest too much in gear that will only last you 3 months, and if you are low on space, look into space saving options when it comes to baby gear. My toddler loves ...
Perfect Footwear For Your Little Princess! #michaelkors
Every little girl get's excited over a pair of shoes. Just a few days ago, I took a trip to a busy shopping area in NYC with my preschooler and as we passed a shoe store she squealed, "SHOOOOOEEES!!!" That's not MY kid, folks. My kids would be happy in a pair of sneakers or flip flops. And then it happened again, another two stores in a row and that excited "Mommy, LOOK! Shoes! More Shoes, and MORE shoes! Can we go, pleeeease?" Seriously, where ...
Update on Fractured Clavicle in Baby
I just wanted to update everyone on my infant who was born with a broken collarbone. Here's a little refresher- when she was 3 months old, we found out that the cause of her discomfort and frequent crying was due to a fractured collarbone. We noticed that although she was holding her head up, she always leaned to one side. When we took her to the doctor, we did not anticipate her diagnosis to be a fractured bone.. So, we took her to another ...
