I really don't like sticking my toddler in front of the TV, but with the weather in NYC being really cold and my limited creativity for craft ideas leave us with some TV time during the day. When she does watch TV, the shows are usually educational and teach her something, such as Bubble Guppies and Dora the Explorer. Nick Jr. has some great educational shows for preschoolers and I know I can leave it on and not have to worry about commercials or ...

Disney’s Peter Pan Diamond Edition
While most kids can't wait to be an adult, I clearly remember being a child and crying that I didn't want to ever grow up. This is probably why my favorite movie of all time was Peter Pan. It was the one movie where people didn't have to grow up, just so long as they stayed in Never Land. While I wouldn't change my life and how everything has worked out for me, I still love the idea of that story of a little boy who never wanted to grow ...
The Answer To Our Toddler Sleep Issues Was a New Mattress!
My hubby and I have always wanted a big family, and then we realized that our genes don't produce children that believe in sleeping. It's been a rough 3 years with limited sleep and trying just about everything, including the dreaded "cry it out." At some point we decided to live by "this too shall pass" and allowed our toddler to determine her own sleep pattern- big mistake. What does a baby know about sleep schedules? So, right before the new ...
Shhh.. My Mother Was Right… #DoveTruth
From the time I can remember, my mom would only have Dove bar soap in the house. I watched her every night wash her makeup off with it, and it was the only soap she would use on us as kids. As I got older and started wanting the fun bath soaps I saw on commercials or in the drugstore, I questioned why we couldn't have them. "Dove is the best for your skin and keeps you moisturized." I didn't know what this meant, but it didn't matter- I lost the ...
Oh, How I Love My Keurig!
My once a day coffee break has turned into a morning and afternoon ritual. I had mostly given up coffee for a few months while I was exclusively breastfeeding my baby, but since she is transitioning to solids and doesn't have as much milk during the day, I have not only included a morning cup of heaven, but also must indulge in an afternoon pick me up! I love my Keurig! It allows me to have options on what I am drinking throughout the day. ...
