Do you have a Dora the Explorer fan in your home? My daughters go through phases of loving the fun, educational, and bilingual show. Some days they ask to watch it and others they don't, but they are both still Dora fans at heart! This passed weekend we were invited to check out an event at a Macy's Store in Queens which featured the voice of Dora! The children listened to a story from Fatima Ptacek who interacted with the audience as she does on ...

Best Buy Can Help You Lower Your Energy Bill!
October is Energy Awareness Month and now that I have a much bigger house, energy usage concerns me. In my apartment, it was easy to see if my kids left a light on, or make sure the ceiling fans were turned off before I left. It didn't take much effort to check all the rooms since our apartment was small, and now with two floors to worry about and a central heating/air system I wonder if our electricity bill will be a lot higher that ...
Kid’s Fall Shoe Styles With Umi Children’s Shoes!
I love the fall season! Warmer clothes, fun accessories, and adorable shoes - who can resist? Now that my preschooler is developing her own sense of style, it's fun going shopping with her and watching what she picks out. When we were fall shoe shopping, she chose adorable boots by Umi shoes called Stefi. They came in two colors- black or brown, and she opted for the brown shoe. I love that they match just about everything in her wardrobe and she ...
It’s a Luau Birthday Party! #PartyCity
Thanks to Party City for providing party decor for our Luau! When you ask a four year old what kind of birthday party they want, you will generally get an answer which includes one or many of their favorite characters. My daughter's second birthday party was a Minnie Mouse themed party, her third was a Hello Kitty Birthday party, and her fourth was a total shock to me- a Luau Birthday party. She was watching Lilo and Stitch and decided she ...
Quick Meal Sides with McCain Potatoes!
There's a lot going on in our household this month. We've been renovating, packing, and waiting to move.

Check Out Iron Man 3 on BluRay/DVD!
Iron Man 3 is probably one of the most anticipated movies of the year! My hubby has been talking about going to see it in the theater for months, and when our schedule just didn't allow for that to happen, he waited eagerly for it to come out on BluRay. Well, that day has come and I was able to surprise my hubby with an advanced copy of Iron Man 3! Iron Man 3 picks up where The Avengers film of last year left off, but even if you aren't up to ...
