There are very few shows that actually catch my toddler's attention for longer than 5 minutes, and Peppa Pig is one of them! From the minute she hears the theme song, until the end of the show, her eyes are glued to Peppa and her brother George. My toddler has even asked for Peppa Pig toys, but I wasn't able to find anything available- probably because it was not originally a US based show. Peppa Pig takes place in England, so the characters ...

It doesn't matter how old you are: Twister will always be a fun game! I have the old edition of the game that I remember playing with friends when I was young and flexible.

So, now that Starbucks has released their Pumpkin Spice latte, the change of leaves is inevitable. Fall is ...

On the go eating with Barilla Microwaveable Meals
I feel like I'm always on the go. From the moment I wake up my schedule is busy- I have to feed my girls, get them ready, pack the diaper bag, and prepare for an afternoon out of the house. I often find myself forgetting to eat because I'm so wrapped up in making sure the girls are fed and I'm usually the one eating a snack bar in the car on our way to swimming lessons or mommy and me classes. By the time we get home, it's lunch time and again, ...
Tiny Love Nature Pals Gymini Activity Mat
September is Baby Safety Month! Having two babies, I know that no matter how much you "baby proof" accidents can still happen and children can get seriously injured. When I need to walk away from her, even if it is just for a minute, I usually place her in her crib, or on the floor in her play gym. I prefer her to be somewhere grounded as opposed to a swing or bouncer because she already turns from back to belly and I am afraid she will try to ...
