They say imitation is the best form of flattery and possibly the best gift for Mother's Day. My preschooler loves pretending she's a mommy and taking care of a baby. Sometimes I catch her chatting with her baby dolls the same way her and I interact, and it completely melts my heart. Despite the rough times and bad days, I feel that I'm doing SOMETHING right when she aspires to be a mommy like me. My preschooler isn't your typical ...

Our Favorite Developmental Toys for Baby
I've saved most of the toddler toys my girls used when they were younger knowing I would have another baby. When I passed down my oldest's toys to my second born, there were no issues of jealousy and possessiveness from my oldest. Now with baby #3, my middle daughter has become quite possessive over her baby toys and won't let her brother play with them. So, I find myself looking into inexpensive toys for little boys. I love wooden toddler toys ...
An Expectant Mother’s Day Gift Basket #BabbleBoxx
Mother's Day is fast approaching and getting mom something special can be as simple as clicking a button. Living in a digital world, we have access to many ideas and products that any gift can truly be personalized. When I purchase a gift for someone, it is usually a compilation of items I think or know they would love, and I create a gift basket with these items. Pinterest can be a great place to get your idea started, but finding items you know ...
Night Time #PottyTrainingTips and a $2 Coupon! #PullUpsPersonality #DGcoupons
I really thought I would be done with Pull-Ups® Training Pants by now. My middle child is fully potty trained during the day but is completely untrained during the night. My oldest set the bar high- potty training fully just weeks after her second birthday and fully potty trained at night within a month. The expense to keep my daughter dry at night can add up quickly, but thankfully there are coupons available for Pull-Ups® Training Pants. Here ...
Celebrating Superhero Day with NYC Firefighters and a PJ Masks craft
It's so easy for kids to get wrapped up in the super heroes they see on TV. The real heroes are people who walk amongst us and this past week we celebrated National Superhero Day with a trip to the New York City Fire Museum. PJ Masks was the theme, since kids can easily relate to the colorful animated characters who are real kids during the day and fight kiddie-crime at night. I have to admit- although I heard of PJ Masks because my kids ...
Preventing Night Time Leaks During Potty Training with #PampersEasyUps (#GIVEAWAY)
Potty Training: it's a rite of passage for both parents and baby. It can be easy or difficult, depending on the temperament of the child, readiness, and tools at your disposal (and by tools I mean tricks up your sleeve!) My oldest potty trained in 3 days. My middle, well, let's just say Pampers Easy Ups are saving us every night. If your child seems to be showing you signs of readiness, the spring is a great time to jump-start a new routine to ...
The Muddy Puddles Project Raises Money For Pediatric Cancer Research
We all know how much kids love Peppa Pig, but now there's an even bigger reason to love the witty pink pig. The Muddy Puddles Project is a fundraising platform for the Ty Louis Campbell (TLC) Foundation, a certified 501(c)(3) that funds pediatric cancer research. The project was inspired by Ty, a little boy who loved Peppa Pig and dreamed of jumping in muddy puddles when his cancer was cured. Since his passing, the Muddy Puddles Project ...
Ratchet and Clank Comes To Life on the Big Screen!
This post is sponsored by Ratchet and Clank and SheKnows Media. Now that both my girls are at a good age for the movie theater, we've been on the lookout for the next best children's flick. When my oldest mentioned Ratchet & Clank from a recent trailer she saw, it brought back memories of my cousin playing the Ratchet and Clank video game a decade ago. I've always loved when familiar characters from my younger days make a comeback so my ...
