My little girl is old enough to enjoy family game night and I've been looking into games that are age appropriate. We've tried some games to teach her about taking turns and "not everyone is a winner," but I think she is still a little TOO young to grasp that concept. Instead, we discovered cooperative games, where everyone who is playing works together to achieve a goal. Peaceable Kingdom is a company that specializes in cooperative games ...

aden + anais Dream Blanket
Growing up, my family nicknamed me Linus. I walked around everywhere with my blanket. It was stinky and ratty from being dragged across the playground, all through the house, and on every car trip. My blanket didn't leave my side, except for the times my mom had to wrestle it out of my hands to clean it. I can't remember how I gave up my blanket, but just the thought of it releases a calm throughout my body. Amazing how we can relate to our kids ...
If You Smoke, Why Not Try Electronic Cigarettes? 20% off Coupon!
Everyone close to me knows that I am not a huge fan of cigarettes, and when it comes to those I love, I make my opinions very clear. When I met my hubby he was smoking about a pack of cigarettes a day. He's now down to a few here and there, and never smokes around me because he knows it is something I do not approve of at all. When I was a child, I lost someone very close to me who died from throat cancer, which was brought on by smoking. Just ...
Reveal Your Best Skin with #DoveTruth
It's been about a month since I started using . Since I've always been an avid Dove product user, I already knew that Dove would be the gentlest on my sensitive skin. I've come to expect "gentle" skin products to be unscented and not lather sufficiently, but after trying the new Dove body wash, I can tell you that Dove has raised the bar and set new standards in skin care. There is a calming fragrance that leaves you feeling refresh, and the ...

Say “Thank You” With a Box of Merci Chocolates (GIVEAWAY)
With Valentine's Day behind us and a season full of awards ceremonies, I have something to say: Please don't wait for one day, once a year to tell people "Thank You!" To be completely honest, my hubby and I didn't even celebrate Valentine's Day the way we normally celebrate, because we were so thankful to be a family and celebrate with our little girls. I noticed that he did kick it up a notch, and offered to take down the laundry and wash the ...
Quick and Easy Noodle Soups by Malaysian Kitchen! #DRAsianmeals #cbias #SocialFabric
I love living in NYC and being in the center of everything. This truly is the city that never sleeps, and you have so much at your fingertips at any hour of the day. After spending summers at the beach house, where there is no 24 hour shops around, we've realized how indispensable our local Duane Reade stores are. Most of them are open 24 hours, and they are usually fully stocked and have just what we are looking for, with many options to choose ...
Litter Box Woes: Hagen SmartSift Has a Solution
My husband and I debated through the holidays over whether or not we were going to get a pet kitten for my toddler. She is beyond cat obsessed and we thought it would be a great way to start teaching her about responsibility. There were just a few problems with our plan. One, with a new baby in the family, a kitten would just add to the workload, needing to be fed, taking to the vet, and cared for. Two, the litter box. I naturally assumed that my ...
