Before I had kids, I tried my best not to submit to "Hallmark Holidays." I was the person that would remind everyone that Mother's Day is everyday and we should always show people we love them and not just on Valentine's Day. Now that I have kids of my own, my thinking has changed immensely. I love all these little holidays that make each month special. The kids look forward to making crafts in class and decorating the house to match the theme of ...

Choosing the Right Non-GMO Infant Formula
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. From the minute you become pregnant, you start researching just about everything for baby. You look up the safest infant car seats, the best baby stroller, the most effective diaper rash creams, the best quality formula for baby, and even the best diapers that are leak free and protect delicate skin. Despite knowing I wanted to breastfeed my babies, I also knew that not ...

It was less than an hour away from NYC, but the timing never seemed right, and we never got to visit Liberty Science Center ...

If you've been following me for a while, then you know how much I rely on Amazon for many aspects of our day-to-day shopping. Not ...
The Gazillion Bubble Show in NYC is Perfect for the Whole Family!
Bubbles are one the greatest substances of all time. Kids love bubbles from the first time they see them. Adults love bubbles, although some may not admit it. Bubbles remind us of our earlier, simpler days of childhood. When we decided to take the kids to see the Gazillion Bubble Show in NYC, I wasn't quite sure if the show was for the adults or the kids. I actually told my husband I would take the kids on my own, but he wasn't having it, he ...

Many of their toys are , and their school is always incorporating science and technology in their lessons.
