What do I love best about being in NYC? THE SHOWS! I love that my little girl is finally at an age where I can take her to shows that I know will "wow" her! She is a girly girl (definitely didn't get that from me) and get's very excited about everything (ok, maybe THAT she got from me!) NY is known for its theater district and amazing performances. Now, kids can enjoy the fun too! The Ohmies is an interactive performance where kids ages 3 through ...

Snacking on the Go!
Now that I am a stay at home mom, I find myself snacking ALL the time in between meals. This can be very dangerous when having junk food and sweets around, so I try not to keep them around too often. I find myself always reaching for salty snacks as opposed to sweets. Ritz Crackerfuls Multigrain is the perfect snack in between meals. One cracker is all it takes to hold me over until my next meal, and I'm usually not craving anything more ...
Please please please SLEEP, child!
When my little girl turned 7 weeks, she slept through the night, which is something usually unheard of for a breastfed newborn. Everyone asked what my secret was and I counted my blessings every evening. Until.... (yes, I know you thought it was too good to be true) she was about 16 weeks old. At that point she woke up every three hours to nurse. I already had her in a playpen in our room and planned on transitioning her when she was 6 months. ...

Night Night Book Review and Giveaway!
My hubby and I have been reading to our little girl from the time she was a few weeks old. We started to notice she had a preference for certain books by the time she was about 9 months old. She was engaged with some and totally uninterested with others. I found that she loved the simple books with the colorful graphics and even started pointing out things she remembers from the time she was about a year old. When I received a copy of The ...
What’s that smell? Cloth diaper funk… (and giveaway too!)
I've been cloth diapering for a few weeks now and I'm learning something new every day! I finally figured out why the diapers were leaking - I didn't have them on tight enough! This also solved the "bulge" issue. In case you aren't sure what I mean, my little girl is in a size 18 month clothes and her pants didn't fit quite right after switching to cloth. The cloth diapers seemed to be bulkier than disposable diapers, which makes sense - with no ...
Softlips Review and Giveaway
I was introduced to Softlips when I was in Junior High School (boy does that feel like a long time ago!) and I have been using it ever since. It is great to know that the same lip protection I was using many years ago is still one of the leading brands in lip care products. I picked some up on sale a few months ago because hubby suffers from dry lips and is always looking for moisturizers. He claimed they were too "girlie" for him to use, but I ...
Nursing Pillow Review and Giveaway!
My absolute favorite baby item is the nursing pillow. I have a horrible back, from my neck to my tail bone and nursing added to the aches I already had. With so many options out there for nursing pillows, it is hard to choose the right one that fits your body and is cozy for baby too. Balboa Baby created a unique nursing pillow that helps alleviate the stress nursing puts on your back. Baby is propped up towards mama so that she is in a ...
