My toddler started her first year of school and it has been quite a transition for both of us. For me, it meant letting go and trusting my baby to someone else. This isn't the first time I've experienced this, as I had a nanny taking care of her from the time she was 8 weeks until 9 months. I was a mess for those 7 months and was so happy when I became a stay at home mom. To make her transition a little easy, I packed her fun lunches and cut ...

Visit the Ascarium at the NY Aquarium!
Tomorrow I will be going on a spooky adventure at the NY Aquarium! Every weekend in October the aquarium in Coney Island turns into the Ascarium- which is the not so scary, child-friendly festivities which are great for all ages! Check out this year's activities, and if you happen to see me there, stop by and say HI! (The Ascarium will run the last three weekends in October 13-14, 20-21, and 27-28.) This year’s activities will ...
Cush ‘n Go Stroller Cushion
When I had my first baby, she was in a snap-and-go style carseat/stroller for a long time. She didn't have a regular stroller until she was almost a year old, so I never put much thought into how much support a normal sized stroller provides for a newborn or infant. Since my infant was born with a fractured clavicle, she was not comfortable in her car seat, so the snap and go stroller was not an option for us. She immediately moved into a normal ...
Great Keepsake Idea for Baby #ChildtoCherish
There must be a baby boom because so many of my friends have either recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Most of my friends are second and even third time moms, so finding the perfect gift for them is sometimes a challenge. Funny, they said the same thing about me since I was expecting a second girl. I had all the gear, clothes, and most baby items I would have needed, so I bet I was really hard to shop for! One thing that I needed ...
Zutano’s Mochi Owl Costume Crafting Set
This year Halloween falls on a Wednesday. For me, this means that my boys will be in school until 4pm which limits our Trick-or-Treating time a bit. This leaves me with a little bit of a costume dilemma for my baby girl. I don't have daytime Halloween plans for her because I'll most likely be packing up our house for our move at the end of that week. So, I don't want to have to put her into a potentially uncomfortable costume right before ...
Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Teleflora
Breast Cancer hits home for me. My grandmother, aunt, and my husband's aunt have all been diagnosed, and two out of the three are survivors. My aunt lost her battle a few years ago and is a constant reminder how important it is to listen to your body. My husband's aunt just recently celebrated a birthday, which coincides with Breast Cancer awareness month, so we thought it would be fitting to get her a beautiful gift that celebrated her life and ...
Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set
Yesterday we celebrated my younger son's 3rd birthday. As expected his 4-year old brother was somewhat jealous of all the beautifully wrapped packages sitting there just waiting to be opened. Thankfully, my parents always buy gifts for both of the boys for each birthday, so they both have a few new toys to open. I also had something for him to open....a Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set. This toy is for ages 5 and up so my husband sat ...
Colgate Optic White Offers a Fresh Smile!
Although I have veneers on my upper teeth I was very excited to hear about Colgate's new Optic White line of products. My veneers will never whiten, but my lower teeth have yellowed a bit over the years with the help of my love of coffee and tea. My husband was excited about the products as well so we both participated in a 5 day trial. When I received the Colgate Optic White products, I could tell that both the toothpaste and mouthwash ...
