My toddler begged all winter to see The Lorax in theaters, but with our busy schedule and my ever growing prego belly, I didn't get a chance to take her. What they say is true: children never forget, and she asked to see it each time she saw a sticker, commercial, or truffula tree - because now she thinks truffula trees grow on the side of the Long Island Expressway. Well, we FINALLY saw The Lorax on BluRay today! My toddler was very excited ...

Packing Sensibly with eBags
We've been taking a lot of weekend trips this summer and packing seems to get easier each time. I remember the first weekend trip we took with my toddler- we packed EVERYTHING. I took every bottle we owned, enough diapers and baby food for a month, too many clothes, toys, and whatever else I could pack into 20 tote bags. I dreaded unpacking when we got home, but we learned from that first experience and tried not to overpack on subsequent ...

Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom
Right before my toddler had the awesome opportunity to be transformed into a Winx fairy, she previewed the Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom Movie on DVD. This was a great way to get to know the fairies and what they were about. Is this the first time you are hearing about the Winx Club? Well, they are a group of fairies: Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Musa, and Aisha who use their friendship and magic to defeat villains in the ...
Honey, It’s Time to Purge Your Old Wardrobe #CBias #MaLoUnderwear
Remember your high school Social Studies teacher? Do you remember what he wore? Maybe it was a button down shirt with jeans or slacks. Maybe it was a plaid shirt. Either way, it was most likely unstylish and plain. I'm sorry hubby, but you have fallen into that Social Studies teacher pitfall. I knew you needed a makeover when you wore a blue button down shirt with brown cargo shorts. It just didn't go. Maybe it does go, but just not on you. It's ...
Choosing the Right Birth Announcement (Tiny Prints Giveaway!)
After I waited so long to meet my newest little girl, I couldn't wait to share the news with family and friends once she was born. Of course, everyone got the quick Facebook update but I'm not a fan of posting pics and stats on social media sites, so I knew a traditional birth announcement was in order. Before my baby was born, I did a quick skim of the announcements at Tiny Prints, but I wasn't ready to commit to any style at that point in time. ...

Rainy Day Fun: Dress Up Play with Toddlers! (Costume Giveaway!)
My toddler is going through a phase: she thinks she's a cat. I thought by now she would have outgrown this obsession with cats, but it's still going strong. She insists she's a cat and will even respond to me by meowing. Whenever anyone asks her a question, her response is "kitty cat." I'm really hoping she grows out of it soon, because it's starting to freak me out just a bit, but until then I guess I will just give in to her wishes: such as ...
