Setting up a routine is so important for children. When they know what to expect, tantrums may occur less often, and they seek comfort in having a familiar routine. Our routine each morning consists of getting dressed, using the bathroom, brushing teeth, and heading into the kitchen for breakfast. Some days are harder than others when it comes to getting my oldest to eat breakfast before school, but setting expectations and explaining why ...

Always a Magical Experience at #DisneyOnIce! #DOINYNJ Princesses and Heroes
Disney on Ice has become a family favorite every winter. We have had amazing opportunities to attend these action-packed shows that feature our favorite characters in exciting story lines. My girls always have a great time, but there was something extra special about the Disney on Ice: Princesses and Heroes show. We received rink-side seating where we could appreciate a different side of Disney on Ice- the costumes! The amazing details that go ...
@DisneyOnIce Presents #Frozen! Enter To Win a Family 4 Pack of Tickets for Barclays Center!! #DOINYNJ, #CONTEST
Every year I take my kids to see the latest Disney on Ice show. Out of all the shows we've seen, the 100 years of magic was, hands down, my favorite. I think that's about to change, though, because our latest favorite Disney characters are hitting this ice this year in the new, Disney on Ice: Frozen. That's right, Elsa and Anna will skate their way on an adventure and bring you along for the ride. With amazing effects that Disney on ice is ...
Check Out Holiday Toyland at Your Local Walmart! #ChosenByKids
There are only 85 days until Christmas. Who's counting, you ask? Well, I am, for one. I LOVE the holidays and everything it brings along with it. The magic of Christmas in NYC is everything you see in movies. That warm pretzel on a cold winter day. The sights to see in the big city. Oh, and who can forget ice skating in Central Park. Yes, I sure am excited to share the magic of the season with my family, and the older my girls get, the more fun ...
Check out The Boxtrolls Events At a Location Near You! #TheBoxtrolls
The Boxtrolls are almost here and I think it is one of this year's most anticipated films (or at least in my home it is!) It looks like such a fun movie with a positive message about acceptance, and who can resist some good old fashion stopmotion animation? I love the creativity that goes into the making of these types of films and can't wait to see all the fine details. Along with all the creativity that goes into making stopmotion films, ...
Enjoy the Versatility of Florida Orange Juice! #Sponsored #MC and #OJTailgate
On August 19 I was invited to an awesome event in Herald Square with Erin Andrews. Florida Orange Juice was hosting a fun tailgating party and everyone in the area was invited! Large grills were set up with samples of orange flavored chicken, and samples of all natural Florida Orange Juice were being handed out. Since it was so hot, there really was nothing more refreshing than Florida Orange Juice! Check out everyone waiting by the grill ...
Tailgating, Florida-Style With Florida Orange Juice! #MC, #OJTailgate #Sponsored #OJSelfie
One thing that has been consistent throughout my life has been Florida Orange Juice. My mom always had Florida Orange juice in the fridge, and while we usually used it as a refreshing drink, we also baked and cooked with it on occasion. Every New Years Eve, we make a traditional Greek cake that has almonds and orange juice and tastes amazing! My hubby says Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving unless I make my fresh cranberry sauce, which includes ...
Nominate a Huggable Hero at @BuildaBear Workshop! #babwUSOthanks
One of our favorite shops, Build-A-Bear, creates memories and friends. We love visiting Build-A-Bear for special events, like birthdays, graduation, and "just because." My oldest daughter was just 18 months when we started going, and even though we have been back many times after that, each time is special and different than the time before. Build-A-Bear also has some great initiatives. Their current campaign, Huggable Heroes, takes place from ...
