It has been quite a week. My oldest started to feel a little sick on Sunday, and by Monday she sounded much worse. Her doctor was confused by her symptoms- fluid in her lungs, but no fever. He didn't seem too worried, prescribed albuterol inhalation and sent us home. By Friday she was worse and time for antibiotics. This kid can't catch a break! We thought after having her tonsils removed she would feel so much better, but since she doesn't get ...

Girls Night In: The Light Between Oceans
My friends and I try to get together at least twice a month. Some months it may be more frequently and some may be not at all. We talk everyday and keep our bond strong by sharing our parenting joys and woes together. It's nice to have amazing friends to go through this journey with. Last weekend we had an impromptu taco night at my house. What started off as definite plans the week before quickly became my forgotten plans. I had invited them all ...
Our 7 Year Old’s Early Reading Journey
Disclosure- Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. I was pretty impressed to find out my daughter was a top reader in her class. When she first started learning to read in kindergarten, she struggled. I didn't know if it was because she had a substitute while her teacher was on maternity leave, or if reading just wouldn't be her strong suit. It took me many years to learn that I had an issue with reading comprehension myself. I ...
We’ve learned to always keep our medicine cabinet stocked
Disclosure: Products provided by Pfizer Pediatrics. All experiences and opinions are my own. Please speak to your doctor before starting out new medicines. Since September, I have had only one week each month where no one in my family is sick. I don't know what's different this year, but with two in school, and my husband working in a school, our house has become a petri dish. We leave our shoes and jackets in the foyer, and I ...
Our Father-Daughter Winter Wonderland Dance was a Success!
Thanks to Oriental Trading for providing some of the products mentioned below. Father-Daughter dances seem to be the quintessential standard for many schools across America. Attending a NYC public school, I never had an opportunity to attend one growing up. When the PTA of my daughter's school decided this would be the first year we would host a Father-Daughter dance, I was excited. I knew my daughters would love to attend, and I knew we could ...
Celebrating Season 2 of Just Add Magic with a Peppy Pixie Pretzel Recipe
My oldest daughter is growing up and growing out of many programs on tv. I noticed she gravitates towards shows with actual people and away from cartoons. She's understanding different situations and growing up before my eyes. As she navigates through our Amazon Prime shows, she stops and reads descriptions to see if those shows match her interest. When she got yo Just Add Magic, she was immediately intrigued and played the show. Within a few ...

Comfort in my own skin
Whether your clothes are bulky for fall or lighter for summer, you are either comfortable in your skin or you're not. In the cooler seasons, I can hide my problem areas from three pregnancies under high rise jeans and long sweaters. I can even hide my love handles caused by too many bagels and donuts. But no matter what, I still feel self-conscious about areas that I am quick to hide. A friend told me how she heard of a simple procedure that can ...
