Don't tell my preschooler she's not a superhero. She's not having any of that. In her eyes, she was a born superhero and although not everyone knows her big secret, in her mind she knows the truth. Like the time I needed a helper to grab the diapers for her brother, or the time I spilled water on the floor. My little superhero is always there to lend a hand and brighten my day. Just like her friends on PJ Masks, superheroes need to go to school ...

Snacking Well While On-The-Go With @WeightWatchers Snacks #WWMarket #WWFoodsAtStopAndShop #ad
We are back from our mini weekend getaway. If you've been following me on Instagram you know I've finally hit the beach house with my family, as well as had some impromptu visitors come to visit. We hit all the hot spots on the north fork of Long Island including all the best places to eat and shop. My hubby and I are pretty good at gauging when our kids need a snack break in between meals before reaching that dreaded hangry stage, but we often ...
I Learned a Lot At #LysolGermSchool! Here’s The Scoop on Germs
It's no secret I'm a germophobe. Yes, I know we NEED germs, but I'm not afraid of those good germs that are designed to build up our immune systems. I'm afraid of school germs, kitchen germs, and bathroom germs. I'm afraid of what lurks in between my children's nails and on my kitchen counter after making dinner. I'm afraid of the germs that make our family sick for weeks on end as they pass from one member to the next. Each time someone in my ...
Headed Back to School with Peppa Pig
The new school year in starting in just a few weeks and my preschooler is getting the jitters. She expresses to me that she has dreams where she's in school and crying, and while it's not her first school experience it will be a new school setting for her this year. Her friend from preschool seems to have the same reservations because she is already stating she will not go to "the big girl school." I know last year they were great buddies and had ...
Simplify Shopping with the Flipp App
Somewhere between baby number one and baby number three my husband became my weekly grocery shopper. I would create lists based on weekly circulars and send him to pick up our groceries for the week. It was much easier to send him than to go shopping with kids in tow, and according to him it saved us money because he would only purchase items from the list and wouldn't give in to the impulse buys (like me.) After a few shopping trips on his own ...
Disney Art Academy Encourages our Budding Artist #NintendoKidReviewer
My 7 year old is a natural born artist. It started with intricate Play Doh designs when she was 2 and by the time she was in pre-k, she was ready for an art class. The designs she came home with blew me away- dolphins, Palm trees, there was nothing this little girl couldn't make. And while she wasn't exactly painting like Bob Ross, the preschool version of her images were better than anything I could have ever made. Her 1st grade art ...
Re-Introducing Betty Spaghetty!
Summer is just about half way over and we've crossed off a bunch of things from our summertime activities list. We've frequented our community pool, visited an indoor waterpark, and checked out a few arts and crafts classes. While all these activities proved to be fun and exciting, there's nothing like a good old fashioned play date. Unless of course you add in some fun new toys and many ways to shine your creativity! My girls have hosted a few ...
Official PJ Masks Ambassador!
A few months ago my girls had the unique opportunity to meet 3 of their favorite characters- Cat Boy, Owlette, and Gekko. They had already been huge PJ Masks fans, but after that experience they haven't stopped talking about the day they met real superheroes. During our down-time this summer, usually in the early mornings or right before bed, they like to lounge and watch PJ Masks and then tell me all about the episodes. It opens the door for ...
