August in NYC usually means quite a few thunderstorms or days that are so hot and muggy, you don't even want to leave your house. Having a newborn at home, there were plenty of days during this hot summer that I didn't think she would be comfortable in her hot car seat while her sister ran around in the park sprinklers, so we spent many days home, and usually bored. Disney is releasing some old favorites on BluRay on August 21, 2012, so during ...

Touch Magic Toys by LeapFrog!
My tot and her friends needed some indoor-fun playdates for a good part of the summer because it has just been too hot to get out and enjoy the park. It has been a while since she has seen many of her friends since vacation schedules didn't make playdates easy to plan, but now that everyone is back we are starting to get back into the swing of things. Any mom can tell you that keeping your child home is not a great idea because they get bored ...
Meet the Lapper Tray by Masterbuilt (Giveaway!)
My hubby and I have family gatherings in our home on a weekly basis, so you would think that after living here for 5 years we would be a little more prepared for company. We had to get rid of our coffee table when we found our at-the-time two year old dancing on top of the glass surface. It took us a long time to find something to replace it with that was both safe and functional. A storage ottoman with a tray is hardly a coffee table and cannot ...

Getting Organized for Back to School Season With a Laminator!
I never realized how indispensable a laminator was until I was a teacher. I had access to a fancy laminator at work and I laminated EVERYTHING. From lesson plans, classroom decor, and even recipes for my students. I felt that laminating cut down the waste of having paper recipes for EACH student in each class. By laminating the recipes, I was able to keep one recipe card in the kitchens and students could wipe them down easy if they got dirty. ...
Fresh Produce Clothing Review
Finding things to wear this summer has been a bit of a challenge. I had a baby about 3 months ago and my body isn't quite ready for my pre-pregnancy clothes. Along with not fitting into my old clothes, this summer has been unbearably hot in NYC, so I've chosen to stick with roomy sundresses to stay comfortable. It's great that cotton beach dresses don't have to be frumpy, and can even be fun and chic. Fresh Produce has a lot of fun, functional ...
