A few months ago my husband and I explored the idea of expanding our house. And as time passed we found ourselves in the process of buying a whole new house! We're now thinking of scheduling a closing within the next 30 days and the stress of moving/packing/transitioning is starting to set in. I'm not terribly concerned with the physical move. Although that's in the back of mind I have my two boys in forefront. I visited a preschool last week ...

The Kids Gotta Have Those Mungi Bands
When I picked my boys up from school today I had a few Mungi Bands wrapped around my wrist. I was waiting to see how long it would take for them to notice them. Not long. But to my surprise a few of the other mommies noticed them as well! I explained that Mungi Bands are magnetic bands that were invented by a Dad as the new social network for kids to connect and collect. They form chains from hair bands to bracelets to express the mood of the ...
Hasbro’s Gone zAPPed with Battleship & Spellshot!
One of my favorite classic board games is Battleship. I love the excitement that a little friendly competition gives to an otherwise boring rainy day indoors. You may remember my previous reviews on Monopoly zAPPed and how the latest technology in iOS products can change gameplay into a new experience. Well, Hasbro is at it again with two of their latest games, Battleshop zAPPed and Spellshot zAPPed. Both games work with an iPad (not included) ...

Is my Baby Boring?
I really hate to even admit this, but after being around 2 very active, chatty, loud boys I find my sweet little baby girl a bit boring from time to time. My boys are 4 and 3 years old and I had them home with me this summer 24/7. Our summer was filled with great things like laughter, adventures, trips to the Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and the Hall of Science. And some not so great things like fighting, wrestling, screaming, whining, complaining, ...
Not Quite a Recipe for Pork Chops with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans
I'm always looking for ways to make a quick meal while limiting the number of dishes/pots/pans I'll have to do once the clean up begins. In my fridge I found a few pork chops defrosting, and the veggies I had left from my CSA pick up from last week were potatoes and green beans. I had some time before picking the kids up from school at 4pm so I wanted to get my cooking done while they were out of the house. While the baby napped, I started my ...
Infantino EcoSash-A Baby Carrier That Grows with Baby!
My infant is quickly growing and OUT-growing a lot of things, including her bouncer, infant car seat, bassinet, and swing. I can't believe how such useful baby items have a short usage span and it makes me sad for two reasons: one, my baby is quickly growing, and two, I have to buy MORE things! One thing that has not changed is our baby wearing, as a matter of fact we are both loving it! Since finding out she has a fractured clavicle, I've ...
Halloween Costumes for Infants
Halloween is almost here!!! I can't wait! October is always full of fun autumn activities. Every weekend we have some Halloween event, so that means my little girls get full use of their costumes each year. We generally have costumes ready to go by the end of September, because just like this year, some events start early. Boo at the Zoo just started at the Bronx Zoo this weekend, where they invite kids to dress up, take part in their Halloween ...
