Of all the games my girls play on the Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, I notice they always gravitate to the MiiMaker to create their own characters out of friends and family members. My older Nintendo Kid will use those characters in a game, while my budding Nintendo Kid likes to create as many as she can with funny characteristics. They love seeing their creations in various games throughout Nintendo, but now that Miitopia is available for ...

Premium Salads from McDonalds are a Hit
This post was sponsored by McDonald’s as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. We totally missed spring in NYC. The weather went from cold to hot within a week, and our food choices have changed as well. Some days it's too hot to turn on an oven or to eat a heavy meal. My family snacks on crisp veggies all day long and refreshing fruit, but some days you need a little more. After ...

Soon, though, those introductory pieces lead to kids wanting their own bedazzled treasures. As pierced ears usher in collections of new earrings, other accessories soon follow as fashion fads lead the need for chokers, bangle bracelets and tiny toe rings.

The Importance of Teaching Kids to Swim at a Young Age
This post was sponsored by SwimWays as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Even before I had kids I knew that when I did become a mother, teaching my kids to swim early would be a priority. I'm not a swimmer, I never learned to swim, and if you ask my husband it's because witches don't float. Don't get me wrong, I love the water. Toss me in a pool any day and I'm in heaven, ...
Making New Memories and Living Life Outside This Summer
Four years ago my husband and I couldn't wait to host in a backyard. At that time we had just purchased our first home and planned to go to closing a few months after. We had a lot of plans to change some things- the kitchen, the floors, and the backyard. What we didn't know that the process we started in March of 2013 would not be completed until October 2013 with no time to actually enjoy our backyard. By the following spring, we made it a ...
