Before I had kids, I tried my best not to submit to "Hallmark Holidays." I was the person that would remind everyone that Mother's Day is everyday and we should always show people we love them and not just on Valentine's Day. Now that I have kids of my own, my thinking has changed immensely. I love all these little holidays that make each month special. The kids look forward to making crafts in class and decorating the house to match the theme of ...

This post is brought to you by ProBiora™Health and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. The statements below have not been evaluated by the FDA. Consult your doctor before starting a new regimen.

Choosing the Right Non-GMO Infant Formula
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. From the minute you become pregnant, you start researching just about everything for baby. You look up the safest infant car seats, the best baby stroller, the most effective diaper rash creams, the best quality formula for baby, and even the best diapers that are leak free and protect delicate skin. Despite knowing I wanted to breastfeed my babies, I also knew that not ...
Liberty Science Center Has Two New Must-See Exhibits
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Momtrends and Liberty Science Center. All opinions and experiences are my own. I remember my mother, the science teacher, telling me about Liberty Science Center in the 90s. She was excited about this new local spot that would offer science experiences for both kids and adults. It was less than an hour away from NYC, but the timing never seemed right, and we never got to visit Liberty Science Center ...
Santa HQ Takes You On A Magical Journey This Season!
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Santa HQ. All opinions are my own. It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, seriously! I love this time of year. I love the excitement of the season, the parties, the kids, the food, the get-togethers, and of course, seeing Santa!

Tackling Just About Everything on My List with Amazon
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Amazon. All opinions are my own. If you have young kids, then you know how hectic this time of year can be. I have three kids, so that means three sets of class gifts, three school parties, holiday plays at school and making sure I've checked everyone off my shopping list. If you've been following me for a while, then you know how much I rely on Amazon for many aspects of our day-to-day shopping. Not ...
The Gazillion Bubble Show in NYC is Perfect for the Whole Family!
Bubbles are one the greatest substances of all time. Kids love bubbles from the first time they see them. Adults love bubbles, although some may not admit it. Bubbles remind us of our earlier, simpler days of childhood. When we decided to take the kids to see the Gazillion Bubble Show in NYC, I wasn't quite sure if the show was for the adults or the kids. I actually told my husband I would take the kids on my own, but he wasn't having it, he ...
We Built a Cannon In Our Living Room!
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Klutz Maker Lab. All opinions and experiences are our own. Getting my girls interested in STEM activities isn't usually a challenge. Many of their toys are STEM-focused, and their school is always incorporating science and technology in their lessons. The one thing I have noticed, however, is their inability to focus on a project long enough to see the final outcome. Living in a world where ...
