My nephew is on his way to potty training! With his new little brother due in just a few weeks, my brother and sister in law are ready to get this boy out of diapers! He has a big sister who we thought would have motivated him to potty train sooner, but boys will be boys and at 3 years old, he's been fighting the potty. For the past two years, I hosted a Pull Ups PlayDate party for my toddler and her friends. The first year we invited all her ...

Mia Mariu Mineral Cosmetics {Giveaway!}
My skin has been sensitive from the time I was a kid, and it doesn't seem to have gotten any better. I am very careful about the cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers I use on my face because I can break out very easily from using the wrong products. I'm still experimenting with cosmetics because my skin can vary from oily to dry, and some cosmetics that work great for my summer skin, don't fair well for winter skin. I've heard of Mia Mariu ...
BellaVita Phone Wallet for Style on The Go!
Anyone who knows me knows that I pack very light. When it comes to toting things along for the kids, I make sure I have all the necessities, as well as an emergency bag in the car for those unforeseen accidents. For myself, I only bringt the absolute necessities: my phone, credit cards, license, keys, and cash. A lot of my friends are surprised at the sizes of my handbags and usually make the same comment, "that's all you have with ...
Progresso Recipe Starters
There are some days that I am a whiz in the kitchen and I can concoct amazing recipes just by putting together some simple ingredients from my pantry. Then, there are other days that I need some inspiration. Lately, there are more and more days like that since it seems there are not enough hours in the day to do it all and then make dinner. Thankfully there are many "helpers" out there that add some great flavors to your meals, such as Progresso. ...
Toothless Toddler
Teething. The reason why you're happy baby is suddenly tragically miserable. You wonder.....what could it be? Hungry? In need of a diaper change? Hot? Cold? Overstimulated? Bored? When finally you reach into their gummy mouth and notice the sore red ridges of budding teeth about to break through. I've been through teething twice already. But for some reason my youngest, who is turning 1 tomorrow, is still toothless! I'm not complaining. I love ...
Two Great New Nick Jr. DVD Releases coming in February!
I really don't like sticking my toddler in front of the TV, but with the weather in NYC being really cold and my limited creativity for craft ideas leave us with some TV time during the day. When she does watch TV, the shows are usually educational and teach her something, such as Bubble Guppies and Dora the Explorer. Nick Jr. has some great educational shows for preschoolers and I know I can leave it on and not have to worry about commercials or ...
Disney’s Peter Pan Diamond Edition
While most kids can't wait to be an adult, I clearly remember being a child and crying that I didn't want to ever grow up. This is probably why my favorite movie of all time was Peter Pan. It was the one movie where people didn't have to grow up, just so long as they stayed in Never Land. While I wouldn't change my life and how everything has worked out for me, I still love the idea of that story of a little boy who never wanted to grow ...
Is my 3 year-old gay? Transgender? Going through a phase???
This is a guest post written by Sandra I. I'm not one to worry too much about gender identity when it comes to my kids. When my oldest was 14 months old I was about to have my second child so I bought him a doll. Yes...the doll was wearing blue, but that was primarily because I was having another boy. I wanted my son to have his own baby to take care of while I was taking care of my new baby. And when I became ...
