Disclosure: This post was brought to you by CleverMade. All opinions are my own. Father’s Day is coming up and what better way to say “we appreciate you, dad” than with gifts and gadgets dad has been eyeing for months!? My husband is easy to shop for- I know exactly what he wants and needs. Last summer, he mentioned that he wanted an easier-to-carry tote for our excursions. I would pack food for our day trips to the beach, parks, and zoos, and ...

Keep Their Lovies Looking New With Lysol Laundry Sanitizer
Raise your hand if your kid has a favorite stuffed animal that goes with them everywhere! My oldest had Lulu - a small purple monkey that has been around for almost a decade! I can't remember where Lulu came from, but I remember thinking that if she ever lost or damaged Lulu, we could easily find a replacement because she was a popular toy. Lulu came with my oldest daughter on every car trip, shopping trip, doctor's visits, and even on fun and ...

Finally, A Child-Friendly Network with Kabillion
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Kabillion. All opinions are my own. I know I'm not the only parent in the world that cringes when TV commercials come on children's programming that seems to be out of place with the content. There have been numerous occasions where my kids have caught glimpses of horror film commercials while watching their own shows, and I still don't understand how that works! If you're on a child-friendly network ...
A Day Out with Thomas and Percy!
Disclosure: We received tickets in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. This past weekend my family had the opportunity to take a train ride with none other than Thomas the Tank himself! We took a ride to Essex, Connecticut, which is about an hour and a half from NYC. My little guy is a huge Thomas fan, and now that he's old enough to understand and enjoy these excursions, we knew this trip would be quite enjoyable for him. ...
Choose to Reuse this Earth Day
For the past few years my family has been taking steps to reduce waste in our household. It all started with our garbage. I noticed that we had considerably more garbage bags waiting to be picked up by sanitation than the rest of our neighbors. I was confused as to why our garbage seemed piled up on the curb while the neighbors had theirs neatly in the garbage bins. At that time, I knew it was time to start making changes. We started with ...
Candyless Easter Baskets
Disclosure- products provided for inclusion. All opinions are my own. Since my first born was a toddler, I've been making candyless Easter baskets for her and all the kids we make Easter baskets for. I find the kids actually enjoy receiving spring-themed toys over candy, and we don't have to worry about them trying to devour every piece of chocolate they receive in one shot! This year we had a few companies reach out to us to feature their ...
Getting to know Bumblebee
Disclosure: My family received a Bumblebee themed gift pack in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I clearly remember sneaking into my brother's room when we were kids to play with his Transformers. I didn't know their names, but I remember the blue and yellow transformers being my favorite at that time. Fast forward decades later and I have a little boy of my own who not only loves Tranformers toys, but couldn't wait to see the ...
