Although my 4 year old attending a part-time preschool last year, this school year is different. She will be attending a bigger school with many more students. She will be expected to be a little more independent and I don't think the attention she will receive will be as individualized as it was last year. It's a process we all go through when we send our little ones off to school, whether it's our first or last baby. It's a milestone - this ...

Snacking Well While On-The-Go With @WeightWatchers Snacks #WWMarket #WWFoodsAtStopAndShop #ad
We are back from our mini weekend getaway. If you've been following me on Instagram you know I've finally hit the beach house with my family, as well as had some impromptu visitors come to visit. We hit all the hot spots on the north fork of Long Island including all the best places to eat and shop. My hubby and I are pretty good at gauging when our kids need a snack break in between meals before reaching that dreaded hangry stage, but we often ...
Navigating the Journey With Walgreens #CFChampions #IC ad
It is a well known fact that most ailments have a better outcome when you adhere to doctor's orders and take medication as prescribed. Oftentimes, even with diligent care, people with Cystic Fibrosis can become dangerously ill and require a lung transplant in order to survive. Just recently a friend of mine received her second lung transplant after a lifelong journey to wellness. After spending nearly a year in the hospital, she's finally out ...
Find out what our favorite P&G products are from Costco #PGDetailsMatter #IC #ad
It doesn't take a mathematics whiz to know that there is a direct correlation between the amount of kids you have and the amount of messes you clean up throughout the day. 3 kids = A LOT of spills, drips, accidents, and messes. From cleaning up smeared Play Doh from the floor to finding that sticky puddle under the couch from the time your daughter spilled her smoothie (3 days ago.) I use to shop for the basic household cleanup ...
Sore into learning with Miles from Tomorrowland
I can count on one hand the amount of shows I love my kids watching. Of course, they have their own ideas of what they want to see, but I'm happy when they choose shows like Miles from Tomorrowland. You see, my kids think they are just watching a show but what I see is them actually learning something. It's not often you find a show teaching science skills, and as a science nerd myself, I'm pretty stoked to hear the fun facts Miles ...
Officer Judy Hops is on Patrol in her Police Cruiser
From the minute my girls saw previews for Zootopia, they had to see it. The amazing graphics and adorable creatures in the movie are what drew them in at first, but when they finally got to see the movie in the theaters they became obsessed. Everything had to be Zootopia themed from the plans of their next birthday parties to their school supplies for the following year. Spoiler alert - In case you missed it, Officer Judy Hops ...
Adhering to EWG Guidelines with Arbonne Baby Care
I know I've mentioned before that I became aware of chemicals in baby products when I was pregnant, but what I didn't delve into was the company that opened my eyes to this information. Let me start from the beginning- before I was a teacher, a friend asked me to take a ride with her where we would listen to a discussion on safer beauty products. It was enlightening. I learned about the dangers of mineral oil and how it creates a barrier on your ...
A Party For all the Superheroes!
Disclosure: This is a partnered post with Oriental Trading. Superhero birthday parties are all the rage lately. When my soon to be 4 year old stated she wanted a super hero birthday party, I knew it would be one of the easiest parties to plan. Since it was a gender neutral birthday theme, we decided to celebrate my little guy's first birthday along with my daughter's 4th since they are only a month apart. I knew this was one birthday the whole ...
