Disclosure: Items provided for inclusion. All opinions are my own. From the moment I found out I had a little boy in my belly, I knew the decor in his room, as well as the majority of his toys, would be trains. Trains hold an enormous sentiment to my husband and myself, and our little man would hopefully adopt our love of trains. My son discovered Thomas the Tank after we spent a week with my nephew, who had a Thomas train table and ...

Mangoes Are In at Jamba Juice!
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Jamba Juice. All opinions are my own. Is winter finally gone? This winter seemed eternal, and now that the sun is finally shining in NYC, I'm ready for all things summer - including refreshing smoothies and summer fruits. I find that my appetite changes in the warmer months and I go from constantly famished in the winter to wanting lighter meals and lots of fresh foods in the summer. There's nothing ...
Choosing the Right Booster Seat for Your Growing Child
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. I never thought the day would come that I would be switching my girls out of their 5 point harness car seats into booster seats. The day seemed so far away when they were born and still rear facing. I remember shopping for a convertible seat that would take them from infancy and beyond, and knew that the Diono Radian RXT and Ranier seats were just what I was looking for. For ...
The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift From Little Kids
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. Mother’s Day is one of the most celebrated holidays in the nation. Everyone has a mother, whether she is present or not, so everyone feels the impact of Mother’s Day. This mother’s day, while I’m celebrating my mom, grandmother, and mother in law, I’ll also be celebrating my friends. I have truly felt the impact of having my “village” and each of my close friends have made their ...

Celebrating National Super Hero Day with PJ Masks!
I’m pretty excited each year that National Superhero day rolls around. It’s a reminder to my kids to not only celebrate the superheroes they’ve learned from on tv, but to celebrate real-life heroes we know in our community. Since day to day heroes aren’t apparent in everyday life to younger children, they learn about heroic acts from their favorite characters on TV, like PJ masks, who are tv heroes that kids can relate to. PJ Masks fight bullies ...
A Nostalgic RC Racer With a Modern Twist from Playmobil
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. It’s so interesting to see the differences between my kids and whether or not gender plays a role in their gameplay. We’ve never adhered to strict gender guidelines when it comes to toys, my girls love superheroes and my son loves Rapunzel, although we already know he has a thing for blondes! When Playmobil offered to send their new RC racer for us to check out, I instantly knew ...
Playmobile 1.2.3 Sets are Just Right for Little Hands!
Disclosure: Products provided for review. All opinions are my own. Today is the first day of Spring Break for NYC kids and the weather is dreary outside. It's a great day to kick off our 10-day break by just relaxing. I can't say we got to sleep in, but we are definitely being lazy today. As I'm writing this, my kids are actually getting along- who knows how long that will last for? But, they have good reason to be buddies today, especially ...
