I'm not sure if it's maturity kicking in or life experiences molding me, but I notice a change in how I handle situations. I use to rely very heavily on being in the moment and reacting to everything, but experience has taught me that a quick response is not always necessary. I've always prided myself on being me, and being true to myself, which is always a good thing, unless the true "you" is easily taken advantage of and can't say NO even if ...
Personal
A New Little Sister from Madame Alexander
They say imitation is the best form of flattery and possibly the best gift for Mother's Day. My preschooler loves pretending she's a mommy and taking care of a baby. Sometimes I catch her chatting with her baby dolls the same way her and I interact, and it completely melts my heart. Despite the rough times and bad days, I feel that I'm doing SOMETHING right when she aspires to be a mommy like me. My preschooler isn't your typical ...
Celebrating Superhero Day with NYC Firefighters and a PJ Masks craft
It's so easy for kids to get wrapped up in the super heroes they see on TV. The real heroes are people who walk amongst us and this past week we celebrated National Superhero Day with a trip to the New York City Fire Museum. PJ Masks was the theme, since kids can easily relate to the colorful animated characters who are real kids during the day and fight kiddie-crime at night. I have to admit- although I heard of PJ Masks because my kids ...
There’s #MoreToMigraine than Just a Headache #IC #ad
The 36 million Americans who suffer from migraines know it's not only just a headache. Sure, the intense headache may be one of the more debilitating features of a full blown migraine, but the nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sounds are enough to make anyone want to hide under the covers until relief comes. After comparing notes with my fellow migraine-suffering friends, I've learned that many are aware of their triggers. My triggers ...
On a Journey to a Healthier Me with @NatureMade ad #IC #NatureMade
It's not uncommon to set goals on January 1st of every year only to have them derail by January 10th. I've resolved to not make resolutions, but rather set attainable goals. Shortly after I had my son last June, I knew I wanted to start a path to a healthier me. Not only for my overall health for myself, but also to be there for my kids. Before the summer ended, I had already signed up for a gym membership, given up processed foods, added ...

What’s a Good Age To Take A Child To The Movie Theater? #FandangoFamily
Shortly after we saw previews for Disney's Zootopia, I knew I had to take my kids to see it. But what I really wanted to know was whether my almost 4 year old was a good age to take her. I asked around to see what's a good age to take a child to the movie theater and most of my friends had already taken their children by the time they were 3. It all depends on the child and whether or not they can sit through a movie. We made it as fun as we ...
