My little girl is learning to ride a bike, granted- it's a tricycle, but she still needs to keep her head protected even if she isn't going fast or even riding on her own yet. I'm not too sure what other states' laws are, but in NY, you have to have a helmet on until you are 14 if you are riding a bike. When I was younger, I NEVER wanted to wear a bike helmet because they had just come out and they were HIDEOUS! You know how preteens can be- I'm ...

Summer Barbecues- Where do you put the kids to sit and eat?
With all the summer barbecues lined up and all our guests with their ever-growing families, finding a place to sit can sometimes be a problem. In the past 5 years, my hubby and I have had to add at least 2 seats a year to our outdoor collection because it seems we never have enough outdoor chairs. I joked with my husband that soon we are going to have a BYOC policy- bring your own chair! The kids are usually playing and don't generally sit ...
For the little sport in your life head over to #RookieUSA! #CBias
My little girl is getting into sports and she is having so much fun! She just started a karate/gymnastics class where she learns how to control her body movements and gain strength. It is a great program tailored specifically for children her age who are not ready for karate. She asks to go back each time we leave, so I know she is having fun. This is the most important factor for me- she HAS to have fun. Once specific sports are no longer fun ...

Don't be fooled by the title- dolls are NOT just for little girls. I really don't think that little boys should be excluded from pretend play when it comes to baby dolls- after all, one day they will most likely grow up to be fathers. Out of all the kids in the family, my 2 1/2 year old nephew the most excited to have a new little cousin to play with. His face lights up when I walk in the door with my newborn, more so than the little girls in the ...
Protect your kids at the beach with #GrUVyWear Rash Guards!
Summer just started and we've already spent a lot of time outdoors with my toddler. One thing I always worry about when we are out is whether or not she is getting too much sun. A few years ago I had bought her the cutest two piece swimsuit that was a tankini and bottoms. The reason I opted for a tankini was because I thought it covered most of her skin, and the bottoms came off easily for diaper changes. Now, we no longer have to worry about ...
Mommy Needs a Time Out! #poppit
I rarely have any down time but in that rare instance where I have a minute to myself to procrastinate relax, I like to unwind with an . My toddler has even gotten into online games and while some moms may not like the idea of their kids playing with the computer, I actually think it can be a positive learning experience. My little girl knows her way around the computer and knows what to press to get to the games she likes to play. Of course, she ...
