My youngest baby is just about ready to start potty training, and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that she has an older sister. My youngest is very independent. She does her own thing, prefers to feed herself, and tries to do everything her big sister does. So, potty training isn't too far in the future for us, and we have already started taking steps to train her to use the potty. Each time her older sister uses the potty, she asks to ...

Relieve your Migraine Symptoms with an Excedrin prize pack! (#giveaway) 2 winners
Ever since I started understanding what triggers my migraines, I have been able to minimize and somewhat avoid them. Until recently. Although I can control what I eat, there are changes that affect my migraines that are beyond my control, such as the weather. I noticed this past month my migraines have increased on the days the humidity was high. After not having a migraine for a few months, I really believed I was in the clear, but this month I ...
Indoor Summer Fun with Disney Movies!
No matter how much outdoor fun you want your kids to have this summer, the truth is there will be days that you don't make it out of the house due to weather, viruses, or just plain laziness! The past few days in NYC have threatened thunderstorms which kept indoors, although it has not actually rained yet. I didn't want to take the chance of getting caught in the rain with the girls, so we've been enjoying some family fun indoor time ...
Stave off Summer Boredom with Polly Pocket!
Since the weather has gotten much nicer (remember the long, drawn out winter we had?) I have been out and about with my daughters as much as possible. There are days like today, though, that we stay in due to bad weather. On days like this, we need a backup plan! Polly Pocket has change a lot since I was a kid. No longer can you fit Polly Pocket playsets in your pocket and go, but instead you can set up a zipline adventure or a fun ...
Potty Training with Pull-Ups Monsters U Training Pants #PullUpsPottyBreaks #ad
When my oldest was just 18 months old I introduced the potty. I now know that I fell victim to the pressure from other moms who seemed to know it all, and as a first time parent I thought this was the best time to start. Well, my son went along with the typical time-line. I started having him sitting on the potty fully clothed, then in just a diaper, then diaper-less.....and the hours of just sitting and waiting while I read potty book after ...
Spots, Spots – go away! @MyCascade #MyPlatinum
I picked out the glasses pictured above because when I first saw them, all I envisioned was a tall glass of ice cold orange juice. I don't know why, but these glasses are THE glass for some refreshing OJ! Okay, so of course we use the glasses for all beverages in our home and I love when they are clean and spotless. I have to admit- when my hubby washes the dishes (pre-dishwasher) there were always water spots left behind. I was warned these ...
Teach Kids Manners with Kindness Kingdom
I must be getting old, because when kids are being rude I complain that their parents aren't teaching them manners. Let this be a public apology to all those parents out there that I criticized. My preschool will say please and thank you for just about anything, but she can also be rude and pushy. I'm working on it, but I can now see that although parents are a huge contributing factor to children's manners, children can also be defiant all on ...
Fun, Educational Games for Kids (#Giveaway) @SuperDuperPub
Although I was a teacher, I always felt that it was important to let kids play and let them learn along the way. I never believed in shoving education in their faces and putting a huge emphasis on academics at a young age. I am guilty, however, of seeking fun educational toys for my girls. Since children learn through play, just about anything can be used as an educational tool for a child. Now that my preschooler is old enough for structured or ...
