If you don't know Ellie Krieger, she is a WONDERFUL American nutritionist and host of a show called "Ellie`s Real Good Food". She is also an author and has written several books on healthy eating! It was only right that she was brought in to talk to us about Renew Life Probiotics.

The Holidays arrive and all we think about are Family, the parties, the food, the gifts, and the fun. What we seem to forget is that safety is still very much important in the joyous time of the year. We were invited by Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care to have a sit-down and chat about Holiday Safety. Here's some of the great intel we received from it. Let's start with Decoration Safety...

If your kids are like mine, then getting jewelry that doesn't cause rashes can be a slight issue. Children have sensitive skin and it's important to get jewelry that is 100% real or made completely Hypoallergenic. Another thing is that jewelry can range in prices from $20 (on sale or Warehouse pricing) up to the thousands! Let's be real and get 14k Gold Jewelry for kids that are both gorgeous AND affordable with KidsGold!

It's literally the perfect cross between building blocks, a dollhouse and magnetic dress-up dolls! We were sent the very popular, Malia's Beach House play set & The Career Dolls play set. We were also given the go-ahead to give away the Pet Portrait Studio Play set to (1) lucky winner. If you have never heard of Build & Imagine allow me to fill you in...

I am one who loves to read and was very excited when my daughter really started getting into story books. She has me read 1-2 books a night and sometimes she has me read the same book twice. I was very excited to be chosen to review and giveaway the National Geographic Kids Book of Heroes and the Book of Heroines. Read on to see what we loved about the book and what you'd love too!

With the Holidays coming in full force, it's inevitable to get away from the 12 Stinks of Christmas. It's time for family dinners and stockings by the fireplace (or Yule Log channel). But for us, the hostesses-with-the-mostess, it’s also a time for burnt cookies in our kitchen from listening to dear Aunt Peggy's latest adventures and the STINKIEST of boots and shoes smelling up our entryway. The holidays are certainly my favorite, but they really CAN stink! Febreze is my hero in this time...

Can you believe that we are already entering the holiday season? It seem like Fall started just yesterday. Times sure does fly! Here's a Giveaway to get you started on dressing up for the season...

That is why Dreft, the #1 baby laundry detergent choice of pediatricians and a trusted brand for more than 80 years, came up with the Messiest Baby Contest. Let me fill you in on all things messy...

Did you know that each and every family can make a difference and it won't even take a lot of time? We can do something as simple as writing a thank you note to a member of the military or checking on an elderly neighbor to volunteering at a more traditional event arranged by a local charity, hospital or faith-based organization. No matter how big or how small, anything you do from the heart will fill a strangers' heart with joy. Volunteering is a wonderful way for families to encourage children to be change makers in their communities and the world, while they learn valuable real life lessons about kindness, caring and compassion. We're making changes by creating Upcycled Piggy Banks and here's how...

Today is the day!!!! DreamWorks Animation's TROLLS movie is finally out in theaters! This movie is said to be a smart, funny, and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs. These aren't your old school Trolls with Gems in their tummies, but rather Super cute Trolls with Big eyes, same wild hair, and a brightly colored fashion sense! To Celebrate, let's bake...

We were invited to celebrate the pomegranate season with POM Wonderful. We got ready for a fun hands-on cooking experience and a family-style meal with a few of our favorite blogger babes!

Momtrends and POM Wonderful sure know how to throw a fun dinner party...

Seeing as Halloween is in a few short days, Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, and December is just right there, I made sure to view out my options for costumes, dresses and more. Let's start shall we...

Cake Smashes, Finger Paintings, and coloring paper flowers with food coloring. Those are the type of things many children do that make us bring out the tough fighters. Germ fighters that is. We were invited to a fun Birthday Cake Smash event with Bounty paper towels. Mother and author, Kristin Cavallari and all the sweet kids got to create so many messes without us parents having to worry about the clean-up!

I've used almost every baby bottle in the market from 2013 to now and one thing I have always been certain of is that Playtex Baby™ Nurser® with Drop-Ins® Liners, Playtex Baby™ VentAire®, and Most Like Mom® NaturaLatch® Nipples are the real deal! Not only do they make great gifts (Tutorial Ahead), but they are good on baby's tummy during feeding. My mother used them with me back in the 90's so I decided to try it with my own. It was the best feeding decision I had made and I'll tell you why...

It's Pumpkin Check-Up... I mean, Carving Time! Would you believe this is the first time we ever carved a pumpkin? Well, My daughter's 1st time anyway. We did however, opt for an artificial Pumpkin this year. Why? Because my daughters hates anything, sticky, slimey, or smelly (unless it's a toy). In honor of the release of the new Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital DVD, we opted to create a super cuddly cute Lambie Pumpkin Carving and offer my lovely readers a chance to win their very own copy of the DVD.

Halloween is quickly approaching and the costumes are bought. What's left is the face that we'll be painting on our little sweet hearts. From silly animal masks to full on transformations, there's only one brand I trust to keep my MiniBoo's face safe under all the colors and that's SNAZAROO.  Allow me to give you an Easy Sugar Skull face painting idea and tell you all about Snazaroo.

We've always been an SUV type of family, but I've ridden in many minivans throughout my years. A minivan is definitely ideal for families who have more than one child. It makes life on the road easier because kid 1 is not in kid 2's personal space!The enormous amount of space within the minivan was enough to make any heart happy.

No matter how much of a neat freak you are, kids bring out the germs! Even if you don't have children, the germs make it's way into your lives. There's only one way to tackle the germ-filled battle and that is with the power of Clorox! Read on to see what I have to say about a few different products in the clorox line...

I really never have a Moms Night Out. I have yet to decide whether it's due to me not having time or me feeling guilty for leaving my little Diva home. Either way, this night was much needed and the fun I had could not be changed. Allow me to walk you through a fun evening had with the MomTrends ladies and fellow influencers!

I've never seen a more beautiful Disney Princess Image. The moment I opened the surprise Disney package, I knew my daughter would love this beautiful set as much as I did. We were already a week into school, but it was obvious that we would have to restart the school year.... #DisneyStyle!

As adults, many of us have favorite speakers that we love and that let out some amazing sounds right? Well Kids need something that make them want to dance too! That's when this adorable Minions Bluetooth Speakers from eKids comes in handy.

Disclosure: We were invited to this event as media. Attendees received a Gift Bag for attending. #VTechNursery
I've always been a fan of VTech. When MomTrends invited me to come and learn about one of VTech's newest electronic baby products, I was surely intrigued. I can tell you that this event was a real Hoot! The Owl themed decor went lovely with the product we were about to learn more about. Allow me to fill you in on all the wonders of the New Safe & Sound VM344 Baby Monitor and its ADORABLE Owl shape!

I searched the internet for hours trying to find a recipe of my favorite 90's snack called Dizzy Grizzlies. These snacks were Cinnamon Teddy Grahams with vanilla or chocolate frosting on the back and dipped in sprinkles. My mouth waters whenever I mention it. This was a snack that was super popular back when no one cared about how much sugar was in your kids' sweets. Now here's a remake of the super awesome Teddy Grahams snack from way back when...

Be Our guest! Those 3 words together will always make a true fan sing. I LOVED watching Beauty and the Beast as I was growing up even though I was somewhat petrified of that terrifying Beast. It's a Tale as old as time and with the Beauty and the Beast 25th Anniversary edition Blu-Ray™ of the movie hitting stores on Sept. 20th! Why stop there? I'm also giving you a fun Belle Inspired costume and Belle Inspired Hairstyle idea for your little Beauty all under $25!

My daughter has what's called a Bilateral, Sensorineural hearing loss. There is no "cure" for it and I've been told that her hearing will not get any better nor will it get any worse. Gabriella will be 4 in January and I am so grateful for the speech therapists, teachers, and Audiologist that have come into her life. Since the very first test and her very first set of hearing aids at 5 months she has been in great hands, but the struggle was still there...

Oh how I miss the delicious snacks of the 90s! One of them being the incredible Dunkaroos. While many of my friends LOVED the Chocolate dipped version, I couldn't help but always steer towards the Cinnamon Graham Dunkaroos. I've always thought they were discontinued forever, but according to the internet, They are very much still being made in the Canada factory that manufactures them. Being that I've searched everywhere and refuse to pay $13 for a pack of 5 Dunkaroos, I'm here to bring you an Easy DIY recipe for the Dunkaroos Dip with the one ingredient that makes it super sweet and many others miss!!
