When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I spent hours, days, and weeks searching each piece of baby gear we would be using with her. Everything had to have the highest ratings in safety, as well as user-friendly and comfortable. Since I had a little experience with my niece's infant car seat, I knew what I didn't want in a car seat- I needed something that was easy to carry (lightweight and a good grip bar) as well as a base that was ...

Dora Rocks Out At @Target! @NickelodeonPR
If you've been tuning in to Nick Jr, then you might be familiar with all the buzz about the latest toys from the Dora Rocks collection. Each and every time my toddler sees that commercial, her eyes light up and for just a moment she envisions herself to be a mini rock star along with Dora. We love Dora; she takes my toddler on a learning adventure with each episode. That's why when the Dora Rocks product line launched, I knew it would be a great ...
FeverAll Acetaminophen Suppositories
As a new parent I found myself calling my pediatrician's office constantly for advice regarding everything from feeding to sleep to concerns about my baby's health. I think the nurse would see my number on her caller ID and wonder, “what's the question of day today??” Once my 2nd child was born I had a better handle on the answers to the multitude of questions that come up with small children at home. And by the time my 3rd came into this world, ...
PassedOn Helps You Create A Digital Memory Album
This post was brought to you by the people over at PassedOn. All opinions are my own. Documenting my little girls growing up has been one of my greatest joys. I look back on the memories created the past 4 years, and how our little family has grown, and I don't want to forget a thing. There are some things that are etched in my memory that I hope will never fade - like when my oldest daughter's first tooth FINALLY appeared - it was the same ...
Do You Use Essential Oils? (Plant Therapy 14 Piece Essential Oil Set #Giveaway $55 Value)
Disclosure: Although I received samples, this did not influence my opinions or experiences stated in this post. Anyone that knows me in real life knows that I am usually willing to try just about anything, and will generally do so with an open mind. A few months back, I decided to try a scented wax kit that would replace candles I use to burn. I figured out, after years of burning candles, that I was allergic to most scents. My nose gets ...
Cool New Shopping App!
I'm a horrible shopper. I don't like shopping because I feel that I can never find what I'm looking for. Then, I see something on someone else - a friend, family member, and even someone at the grocery store, and I find myself saying "OMG, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT! Where did you get it?" I know in high school, that may have been a huge no-no because who wants to feel that they are "stealing" someone else's style? It seems that in adulthood, it's much ...
Pretend Play with Melissa and Doug Play Food
I find my preschooler often rummaging through my kitchen items to find something to play with in her play kitchen. I've found "real" forks and spoons in her kitchen, along with some pantry items, so it was only a matter of time before I looked into her own "fake" pantry items to add to her kitchen. She also loves to pretend her kitchen is a shop, and will scan grocery items through her invisible scanner and bag them. I love her imagination ...
How do YOU keep your family healthy during cold and flu season?
I feel that my family and I cannot get a break from these germs. As soon as that spring air hit NYC, I was boasting (in my own mind) that we went the entire winter without getting some horrible virus. It seems that since October, my friends have been posting Facebook statuses that their families ended up with the flu, stomach virus, and other illnesses that attacked everyone in the household. I figured we were able to escape the bugs since I ...
