Some people celebrate Christmas, others, Hanukah. My friends and I: we celebrate coffee. Most of us are or were teachers, so we know the importance of this miracle drink when you have to be at work around 7am while others are just waking up at that time. I may no longer be a teacher, but as a mommy who is always on the go with a toddler that has more energy than any one person should ever possess, coffee is sometimes my sanity saver in the ...

The Kids Gotta Have Those Mungi Bands
When I picked my boys up from school today I had a few Mungi Bands wrapped around my wrist. I was waiting to see how long it would take for them to notice them. Not long. But to my surprise a few of the other mommies noticed them as well! I explained that Mungi Bands are magnetic bands that were invented by a Dad as the new social network for kids to connect and collect. They form chains from hair bands to bracelets to express the mood of the ...
Hasbro’s Gone zAPPed with Battleship & Spellshot!
One of my favorite classic board games is Battleship. I love the excitement that a little friendly competition gives to an otherwise boring rainy day indoors. You may remember my previous reviews on Monopoly zAPPed and how the latest technology in iOS products can change gameplay into a new experience. Well, Hasbro is at it again with two of their latest games, Battleshop zAPPed and Spellshot zAPPed. Both games work with an iPad (not included) ...
Infantino EcoSash-A Baby Carrier That Grows with Baby!
My infant is quickly growing and OUT-growing a lot of things, including her bouncer, infant car seat, bassinet, and swing. I can't believe how such useful baby items have a short usage span and it makes me sad for two reasons: one, my baby is quickly growing, and two, I have to buy MORE things! One thing that has not changed is our baby wearing, as a matter of fact we are both loving it! Since finding out she has a fractured clavicle, I've ...
Halloween Costumes for Infants
Halloween is almost here!!! I can't wait! October is always full of fun autumn activities. Every weekend we have some Halloween event, so that means my little girls get full use of their costumes each year. We generally have costumes ready to go by the end of September, because just like this year, some events start early. Boo at the Zoo just started at the Bronx Zoo this weekend, where they invite kids to dress up, take part in their Halloween ...
What’s in YOUR candy bar? #GetUnreal
Yesterday afternoon my 3 year old asked me if I can swap her little chocolate candies that she receives as a treat, for UNREAL chocolate covered peanuts. "GLADLY" I told her! She doesn't understand why I would eagerly swap out her candy, but it doesn't really matter. In the end, she still receives her little treat that brightens her day, and now that I switched ALL the chocolate in my home to UNREAL chocolate, I feel better about giving her a ...

Finally, a Washable Playard! @InGenuitybaby #DDDivas
My infant is quickly developing into an "on the go" baby. She has been turning all around since she was 12 weeks, and now she lifts herself up on her arms and legs and scoots around the living room. I'm still not fully baby proofed yet because my toddler has a lot of toys with small pieces, so limiting my infant to her play gym, which I like to call her small patch of land, is becoming impossible. She's not a big fan of the swing or the bouncer ...
