My toddler has grown to love Jake and the Neverland Pirates and has even had a themed playdate featuring Jake and the Never Land Pirates a few months ago! When we were asked to host another party for a special screening of Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Peter Pan Returns I knew for sure she would love to have a special playdate with all her friends and sing along with her favorite characters. It amazes me how quickly Jake and the ...

Best Gift for Expecting Moms: Push Pack! (New Mom Prize Pack Giveaway ERV $155!)
Whether you are a new or seasoned mom, packing your bag for the hospital can be nerve-wracking. No matter how prepared you think you are, there are always things you forget. My problem the first time around was that I was under-packed. I had to have an emergency c-section and did not anticipate a 5 day hospital stay. True story - this was my arguing point for avoiding a necessary c-section with my doctor. While he was wheeling me ...
Pump a Pair Hands Free Pumping Review and New Mom Prize Pack Giveaway! (ERV $155)
When you are a working mom who is dedicated to providing breastmilk to your baby, you have to find ways to multitask while you are pumping. I feel like I've done it all while pumping - I started my multi tasking when I would nurse my newborn and pump at the same time.

Vote to fight spring hunger with Walmart
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Walmart Foundation for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you know that more than 50 million Americans don't know where there next meal will come from? Yes. In the United States. I can't believe that number, considering all the waste I encounter on a daily basis. The worst part: people are hungry due to unemployment. Being personally affected by unemployment, this makes me ...
Need Skin Care Products? Check out Dermstore!

Many of the items I purchase online are baby items because the brands that I use are sometimes hard to find in the stores. Some of those brands are California Baby, Waleda. I have used California Baby products from the time my little girl was born, and with the exception of one specific bath soap, we have loved their products! I ...
SAFELY put baby to bed at night with HALO Safe Sleep Crib Set!
By now it is pretty clear that bumpers should be nowhere near a baby's crib. Bedding manufacturers are finally getting the hint and not including bumpers as part of their crib sets, because chances are, if it is included, it will be used. The warnings are everywhere, and yet moms are still wrapping up those bars because of the fear that the baby will get stuck in the bars. I can tell you from personal experience, even if a child places their ...

The new Star Wars Fighter Pods are hitting toy store ...
Getting Creative with Feeding your Child
I never thought I would have a picky eater, but as Karma rules, I guess this is what I get for the years of torment I put my own mom through. To this day, I am still a picky eater, but I am more apt to try new things. My toddler, on the other hand, doesn't want to know about new foods, colorful foods, or anything that just doesn't look right in her eyes. She wasn't always picky. She was a great eater and would try everything. There wasn't ...
