My girlie girl who walks around with stuffed animals all day long had an odd request recently. We set up a reward chart for staying in her bed at night, and after she has accumulated a certain amount of stars, she is allowed to get a present. I asked her what present she would like and her response: "a train set." Now, I don't really don't have any gender constraints when it comes to toys and I don't think there is anything wrong with a little ...

MegaBloks Thomas & Friends Party! #Megabloksparty
My mommy group had the opportunity to participate in the MegaBloks Thomas & Friends party. The kids had an awesome time playing with the Thomas at the Races and Diesel at the Dieselworks sets that were included in our party kit. I love participating in these Mommy Parties because it is a fun way to get the kids together for a playdate, and gives the mommies some time to chat with other moms and leave the house for a little. Now that the ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Gyro Bowl
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that kids make messes! Ever since my toddler started eating finger foods, such as puffs, Cheerios, and crackers, I have found them in every crevice of my couch, floor, and car. I've tried snack traps, but my toddler gets frustrated with them, peels back one of the sides, and turns the cup upside down - not very effective with her. I've given her plastic baggies instead of bowls thinking it would be easier for ...
Holiday Gift Guide: Clean+Green products
This may not seem like the ideal Christmas gift for your mom, but if your mom has a cat like my mom, then Clean+Green products are for her. You see, I had a cat when I was still living at my moms house. My cat has quite the temper, and if you get on her bad side then watch out, because you are likely to lose your favorite pair of shoes to her urine. Yes... she's a pisser, and I don't mean that in the "funny" kind of way. My mom always ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: The Original Christmas Classics & NEW VeggieTales DVD
Although my family never had a set tradition for Christmas, there is one thing that was always consistent: watching The Original Christmas classics during the week-long holiday school break. I never thought, after all these years and the advances in modern television, that these shows would still be on TV for my toddler to enjoy. While you can still catch them on TV during the holiday season, you never really know when it will air, and then you ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Huggies
Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like dressing your child up in a Santa outfit! When my daughter was a newborn, I purchased a Santa outfit for her to wear on Christmas day and everyone cooed over how cute she was. I never really thought about making her diaper part of her holiday ensemble until Huggies released their latest diaper with a Santa pattern on it! Now, I started cloth diapering almost a year ago, but I always have disposable diapers with ...
The Big Apple Circus is Here!
I have been to various circus' throughout my life and have only been to The Big Apple Circus one time when I was younger. I always see it advertised in my neighborhood and when I looked into pricing a few years ago, I was surprised that tickets were very inexpensive! Since my daughter is now two years old, I think now is the perfect age to start taking her to shows and exposing her to all the circus has to offer. From clowns to acrobatics, funny ...
Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream Review
When I was younger, I always saw commercials for Disney on Ice and wanted to see these shows in person. I've waited many years to finally have the opportunity to experience the magic for myself. I had the opportunity to see Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream with my family and I have to say, it was a breathtaking experience. The special effects were awesome! Watching my toddler's face light up when she saw her favorite characters was the ...
