A few years ago I attended a skin care workshop where I learned about the harmful ingredients that are present in a lot of moisturizers, body washes, shampoos, and sunscreens. I was a little concerned about the lack of responsibility coming from big named corporations that did not think twice about putting toxins in skin care products, including baby care products.Ma mi skin care has created natural lotions that are safe for everyone in the ...

Wholly Guacamole! It’s a Party!
If you haven't heard about Wholly Guacamole, you must seriously live under a rock. Don't worry, I was living under a rock until a few months ago. When I met Wholly Guac, it was love at first bite. Now you have to understand something: I'm NOT a prepackaged food type of girl. I love making things from scatch and use to make guacamole all the time (I haven't made it since I was introduced to Wholly Guacamole.) I have tried many pre-made guacamole ...
The Ohmies is coming to New York!
What do I love best about being in NYC? THE SHOWS! I love that my little girl is finally at an age where I can take her to shows that I know will "wow" her!

Snacking on the Go!
Now that I am a stay at home mom, I find myself snacking ALL the time in between meals. This can be very dangerous when having junk food and sweets around, so I try not to keep them around too often. I find myself always reaching for salty snacks as opposed to sweets. Ritz Crackerfuls Multigrain is the perfect snack in between meals. One cracker is all it takes to hold me over until my next meal, and I'm usually not craving anything more ...

Everyone asked what my secret was and I counted my blessings every evening. Until.... (yes, I know you thought it was too good to be true) she was about 16 weeks old. At that point she woke up every three hours to nurse. I already had her in a playpen in our room and planned on transitioning her when she was 6 months. ...

Night Night Book Review and Giveaway!
My hubby and I have been reading to our little girl from the time she was a few weeks old. We started to notice she had a preference for certain books by the time she was about 9 months old. She was engaged with some and totally uninterested with others. I found that she loved the simple books with the colorful graphics and even started pointing out things she remembers from the time she was about a year old. When I received a copy of The ...
