Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Kabillion. All opinions are my own. I know I'm not the only parent in the world that cringes when TV commercials come on children's programming that seems to be out of place with the content. There have been numerous occasions where my kids have caught glimpses of horror film commercials while watching their own shows, and I still don't understand how that works! If you're on a child-friendly network ...

A Day Out with Thomas and Percy!
Disclosure: We received tickets in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. This past weekend my family had the opportunity to take a train ride with none other than Thomas the Tank himself! We took a ride to Essex, Connecticut, which is about an hour and a half from NYC. My little guy is a huge Thomas fan, and now that he's old enough to understand and enjoy these excursions, we knew this trip would be quite enjoyable for him. ...
Choose to Reuse this Earth Day
For the past few years my family has been taking steps to reduce waste in our household. It all started with our garbage. I noticed that we had considerably more garbage bags waiting to be picked up by sanitation than the rest of our neighbors. I was confused as to why our garbage seemed piled up on the curb while the neighbors had theirs neatly in the garbage bins. At that time, I knew it was time to start making changes. We started with ...
Candyless Easter Baskets
Disclosure- products provided for inclusion. All opinions are my own. Since my first born was a toddler, I've been making candyless Easter baskets for her and all the kids we make Easter baskets for. I find the kids actually enjoy receiving spring-themed toys over candy, and we don't have to worry about them trying to devour every piece of chocolate they receive in one shot! This year we had a few companies reach out to us to feature their ...
The Play That Goes Wrong
Disclosure: Tickets provided for review. All opinions and experiences are my own. This review contains some show spoilers. Last weekend I took my daughter and husband to a Broadway show that is unlike any other - "The Play that Goes Wrong." I knew based on previews that the show was going to be funny, but I didn't know I would be cackling in my seat the entire time. The show starts off while people are still being seated, so if you ...
An Epic Gameplay With Kirby
Disclosure: I attended an event for Nintendo and received a copy of the game for review. This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own. This past weekend we took the kids to the Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center in NYC. There was an epic event where we were introduced to Kirby and his latest game for Nintendo 3DS- Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. We aren't new to the concept of Kirby and his adventures, but in Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, ...
Adopting a Pet in NYC
This is a partnered post with Nakturnal. All opinions and experiences are our own. Our family is growing up! We are past the baby stages- the diapers, bottles, strollers, and the like. The years flew by, and we are ready to add another member to our family. If you've been following us on Instagram, you know that we adopted two precious guinea pigs that the kids absolutely adore! Now, we are looking to add a bigger member to our family, perhaps ...
