This post is sponsored by ® & SheKnows Media. Despite people giving you unsolicited advice during and after your pregnancy, there's so many important topics that are left out. For example- no one told me that I would need my maternity jeans for months after giving birth because my hips widened so much, and it would take time for them to go back. They also didn't tell me that regardless of whether your baby has a great latch or ...

Our Journey From Concrete Jungle to Grassy Oasis
I am participating in Influence Central’s Ambassador program on behalf of Claritin®. This program is paid for by the Makers of Claritin® and I have received compensation for my participation. All opinions expressed are my own. I knew when we started our journey of moving out of the concrete jungle of NYC and into a grassy suburb that I would need to think of ways to manage my daughter's allergy to grass. It started when she was under 2 years ...
PJ Masks Live on Stage Tour Dates!
The more parents I speak to about how excited I am for summer, the more groans I'm met with. I simply didn't realize that finding things to do with kids over the summer was such a hot topic, and the cause of summer time stress for so many parents. I guess I see it now, when my kids aren't in a routine we are more prone to tantrums and meltdowns, but I have some exciting news for at least ONE thing you have to do this summer. If you have a PJ ...
A Time Out for Mommy Indulgence
There are some days where I feel I need to take a time out for myself. It's usually right after picking up my kids from school and my husband walks in the door. As soon as he has settled in from work I take a few minutes to myself to catch my breath. I need to do this, it's almost like meditating. After all, I still need to help with homework, take the kids to their after school programs, start on dinner and wrap up bath time. Running a household ...
A Different Workout Experience
Post sponsored by Planet Fitness. Two months ago my husband and I resolved to each other we would get healthier by the end of June. We stopped eating out (except for 1 day each weekend) started eating smaller and more nutritious meals, and try to get out and active as much as possible. He's even volunteered to coach our daughter's sports teams while I leave the car at home and walk the kids to and from school. These seemingly small changes we ...

Disney’s Moana is now available to own!
My little girls are quickly learning that while princesses seem to have the life, paving your own way is more fulfilling. While watching Disney's Moana in the movie theater on Christmas Eve, I knew instantly it would be their new favorite movie because my girls have been obsessed with anything Polynesian since Lilo and Stitch. I love the powerful message, they love the music, and overall it's a great movie for everyone in the ...
Enter to Win the first ever PJ Masks DVD!
PJ Masks is kind of a big deal in our house. All 3 of my kids ranging in ages from 1-7 love watching this show. PJ Masks is not only engaging, but also teaches kids to stand up for themselves and their friends, while also learning to not be the bully. In our ever changing world, this is such an important message to get across to children, and often the hardest one to teach. In the new release, it’s up to Catboy, the real parade leader, to save ...
