When it comes to potty training, I'm sure you already know that every kid is different. My niece and my daughter are a year apart, but potty trained around the same time. My nephew, who is a few months younger than my daughter, has started the potty training process months ago, but he's still not potty trained. It is true what they say- a child will not potty train until they are ready, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't initiate potty training ...

Gorgeous Christmas Centerpieces by Teleflora
Christmas is less than a week away and if you haven't thought about your centerpiece for your big dinner, then it's time to start! Last month, I had a beautiful autumn arrangement for Thanksgiving on my table, and I received many compliments. I couldn't take any credit- it was the folks over at Teleflora that created this autumn centerpiece. I ordered my bouquet a few days before I needed delivery, which was the day before Thanksgiving. I figured ...
Splurge vs Steal Ramiro Encizo Clutch
I think most mommies can say that their wants have gone on the back-burner since having kids. Gone are the my days of designer handbags and department store makeup. I still love pretty things, but my budget is limited and diapers take precedence over high-end accessories. I just fell in love with a Ramiro Encizo black clutch bag that is just perfect for a night on the town, or a formal event. The Jamila Clutch in glazed sapphire python is so ...
Give The Gift of Netflix This Season!
Now that winter is in full swing, we are home more, and have even started family movie nights with the kids. My husband and I found ourselves constantly ordering movies through our cable box and decided it was getting a bit expensive, so we started looking into unlimited viewing subscriptions that would cater to everyone's viewing preferences in the house. A few of our friends have recommended Netflix, so we decided to join the bandwagon and ...
Deck The Halls With Nick Jr. Favorites! (Giveaway!)
Does your child love Nick Jr? How about adding some friendly faces into their Christmas stocking this year? My toddler has quickly become intrigued by anything that has to do with the holidays, and when she sees her favorite characters on TV talking about their holiday traditions, I know she is getting something educational out of it, as well as entertaining. Her favorite Nick Jr. show use to be The Wonder Pets, but now she thinks it's only for ...
Smart Apps Make Learning Fun! #CypherKidsClub #CBias
I've heard of augmented reality, but I still hadn't check it out yet. I figured with the changes in how kids learn, and their dependency on technology, it was time to break the ice and check out the latest in learning trends. If you haven't seen them yet, learning cards work with your smart devices, such as iPhones, iPods, iPads, and even with the camera on your computer! They are a great way to bring information to life and make a real-world ...
I’m Taking a Break This Weekend
I didn't realize it was as bad as it soon became... The news from Sandy Hook Elementary is weighing heavy on my heart this evening. I took my little girl to school this morning and headed to my mom's for a few hours. I don't watch much TV, and if my mom wasn't home, I probably would not have turned on the television... but how could you not hear the tragedy that struck this Connecticut elementary school? It's all over Facebook. I saw the news ...
Make it a @BaskinRobbins Holiday!
Every weekend my hubby and I have dinner with either his parents or mine. It's nice for the kids to spend time with their grandparents and it's awesome to get a day off from cooking and doing the dishes. I know some families have a traditional family dinner once a week, but with us it's almost an impromptu, but expected family dinner. Does that make sense? We never plan it until the day of, but if we don't visit our parents then we might get that ...
