Many of my experienced headache sufferers out there understand the difference in various headache symptoms. It took years to understand but once I was able to pinpoint sinus headaches, I was able to treat them effectively. You see, sinus headaches don't respond to my favorite headache medicine, so I've had to experiment with others meant for sinus pressure and pain. My sinus pain and pressure symptoms start between my eyes, travel up ...

Since my first daughter was born 4 years ago, my husband and I have made a conscious effort to make small changes to our routine. It started with our kitchen cleaners and then our food. We became aware of the harmful chemicals we were breathing in when we cleaned, and the toxins present in some of the foods we were eating. We wanted to give our daughter a great start, so making slow changes was easy for us. Unfortunately at the time there wasn't ...
Dora the Explorer at @Macy’s! #HHM #sponsored
Do you have a Dora the Explorer fan in your home? My daughters go through phases of loving the fun, educational, and bilingual show. Some days they ask to watch it and others they don't, but they are both still Dora fans at heart! This passed weekend we were invited to check out an event at a Macy's Store in Queens which featured the voice of Dora! The children listened to a story from Fatima Ptacek who interacted with the audience as she does on ...
jcpenney’s Round Up Campaign Helps Boys & Girls Clubs Nationwide! #sponsored
I first heard of the Boys & Girls Club when I was in elementary school. Many of my peers had parents who were not home to pick them up after school and arranged for the kids to go to after school programs at the Boys and Girls club. I was jealous- my friends participated in activities, made new friends, and even had homework help. At the time I thought that I was at an unfair advantage by having someone at home waiting for me, thus not ...
Join me on the #BarbieIsMoving Tour at a Location Near You!
My daughter just recently became interested in Barbie, and I'm happy to say that Barbie, although the same blonde bombshell from my day, has new and exciting products for kids. Did you know that Barbie is moving? She's not mobing out of her gorgeous dream house, but she is moving along the US and visiting various locations. Since A Time Out for Mommy is based in NYC, I would love to invite you to join me in the Barbie is Moving Tour at two of ...
What Do You #GiveACup About?
Having the kids home this summer gives you a lot to think about - you know, when you actually have a free moment to think! It's always bittersweet at the end of the summer when you are counting down your days of summer bliss and no schedules and know that soon you will be in full force mom mode. Chauffeuring the kids to where they have to go, setting up a schedule, and planning every weekend so as not to conflict with your routine. I love the ...
Let’s Talk About Bed-Wetting with #WhiteCloudSleepPants ~ Twitter Party June 4 $200 Prize!
You might remember my post about bed wetting a few weeks ago. The folks over at White Cloud, the Walmart brand for sleep pants, are throwing a Twitter party on June 4th at 1:30PM EST. Bed Wetting is not just for newly potty trained toddlers, it can be a problem that lasts throughout the childhood years and can affect the self esteem of the child. Thankfully, there are measures that parents can take to ensure their child wakes up dry - such as ...
Take Care of Your Skin With @ElizabethArden #BlogMeetsBrand
A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity of attending the Blog Meets Brand event. At the event I received a mini makeover, courtesy of the girls over at Elizabeth Arden. I was also introduced to some Elizabeth Arden products I generally did not use, but was very interested to find out more about. I'm hitting the big 3-0 this year, and now is a better time than ever to start thinking about what my skin will look like as I age. Ugh, I can't ...
