One thing I have noticed when looking at the back of the sunscreen bottle is how many chemicals are in them. On a typical SPF 30+ for Kids that I find at the drugstore, there are quite a few ingredients that list parabens. All year long, I avoid using anything with parabens on my little girl why should it be any different in the summer? All Terrain's award winning sunscreen lotions provide effective sunscreen protection that is paraben and ...

I’m part of #WhirlpoolMoms! Thanks Mom Central!
I'm VERY excited to announce that I am a Whirlpool Mom! I will be getting a set of Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer for review. Look, I know that laundry is nothing to get excited over, but I never had a dryer and I often take my towels and sheets to my moms house just to attack the pile. We live in NYC, so we have very little room to hang up our clothes. This is why laundry tends to pile up in our home. Considering our neighbors, we are ...
3am Feedings and more…
My little one was nursed, so there were 1am, 3am, 5am feedings throughout the night. I admit: I fell asleep feeding her on MANY occasions; the first of which was in the hospital. I woke up in the hospital to a nurse with a disapproving voice telling me that I cannot sleep with the newborn in my arms. Was she not a mother? Was she not human? Maybe she had no experience with that 3am feeding. In its newest Savvy Parents webisode entitled “3am ...
Pink Berry Party!
Last weekend I had the opportunity to host a party at Pink Berry, courtesy of ! We planned a trip around NYC with my hubby, my friend, and our kids. Our first stop was to the Pompeii Exhibit at the Discovery Museum, the off to the Central Park Zoo. After all that walking in the heat, we were all ready for a nice cold treat! We headed to Pinkberry to have our party and we loved the simplistic decor and fun atmosphere of the frozen ...

Smart Kids Who Play: Mineral Sunscreen Review
Have you ever slathered a toddler with sunscreen only to realize that they look like you threw them in powder? I tend to over-do it with the sunscreen and my little girl always looks like Casper by the time I am done with her. As much as I rub in the sunscreen, her skin is still sticky and white from the zinc. Smart Girls Who Surf came out with a Kid-friendly, non-whitening mineral sunscreen that has a broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. By ...
Atopalm Review
My skin has a mind of its own. In the summer I have mostly combination skin and in the winter my skin leans toward the dryer side. Because of this, I am very careful about what I use on my face - because I tend to break out with certain products that are made for dry skin due to the over powering moisturizers that clog my pores. I had the opportunity to review Atopalm products which are specifically made for dry, sensitive, or sun damaged ...
Experience Heavy Monthly Bleeding? You have options!
As women, we have many different "pet names" for our monthly visitor. from my own experience, I would hate to give something that gives me so much grief, a pet name - after all, aren't pet names usually reserved for someone we love? After speaking with my friends, I know that I am not alone when I say that I dislike going to the gyno VERY MUCH. I often want to be in and out, and usually do not ask all the questions I probably should ask. When ...
