When it comes to keeping babies full, it's all about natural, real food goodness. We were invited to host one of the fun Beech-Nut® Naturals™ MommyParties™ with a few of our favorites mommies and babies. We turned our home into a real food tasting room and the babies gave that a chubby thumbs up!

It's always a great Holiday season for toys since they love to unveil all the greatest top toys. This year's Holiday Gift Guide is full of fun learning toys that kids and moms alike will love! In our home, We have always been fans of Vtech. They make high-quality toys that last a long time and truly bring smiles and enrichment to each child. After attending a fun Mom's night out, we were given one of their latest toys to review and it's a musical sensation!

UGH! That's all I can say about this insanely tiring, yet completely rewarding job I have which is being a mother... With the hustle and bustle of a brand new school, weird mood changes, and literally no time for myself, an invite to Mom Trend's 3rd Moms Night Out event was like my prayers were answered. Let me tell you how much fun I had...

Yes, this is definitely a holiday post. I know what you're thinking and I too love the holidays that come before Christmas. However... it's no surprise that with fewer toy stores being available as brick and mortar, there will be stiffer competition to get those gifts that your child really wants. This December, I see a lot of stockings being filled with these fun adorable Twisty Petz that go from bracelet to pet figure in just a twist or a snap!

Thrift Store shopping is my new found excitement. There's something about finding a gorgeous piece to match your daily life in sometimes NEW condition. For many people, the idea of shopping for someone else "trash" gives them the ultimate Goosebumps and that gave me an idea... Why not create a costume using some Thrift Store finds? In Honor of the film that is coming out THIS FRIDAY, Oct. 12th, why not recreate a more feminine version of Slappy The Dummy?

Disney's Freaky Friday is out on DVD and it brings musical enjoyment to the family!  Hosting a Freaky Friday: A New Musical viewing party is very simple and all you need is some snacks, DVD, and a Bluetooth microphone.

This past summer was an amazing season for children films. It was also the 14-year mark since the first Incredibles movie hit the theaters and it was definitely a film that could not be missed! With the incredible hype of any fantastic film comes a bunch of epic toys that not only allow your kids to act out scenes from the movie using the toys but also dress up and accessorize like the characters! Jakks Pacific wanted us to really get into the different actions of the film so it was VERY exciting to open up a 26lb box of superhero awesomeness!

So first and foremost, I'm inviting you to join me in upgrading our dreaded, old business cards that we all know we are still using just because we have about 500 left. I've had 3 different business cards for my blog and the next one is always better than the last, but if you're like me and put pictures on your card, then you obviously have to upgrade them at some point. Same goes for logo changes and even contact information edit. Though I've always stuck to traditional card purchases, I decided to try a new site to see how I would like their material, colors, packaging, etc. and Basic Invite did NOT disappoint!

#SOLOBLURAY

It's time to go on a Galactic Adventure through the universe and back to school! When I was a kid, I always got excited at the sight of a new backpack. Even more when it had the characters of my favorite movie, toy or show! In honor of “SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY”, I'm going to show you the best Merchandise to get your kid TRULY ready to express themselves this educational year and a few hot toys to make their afterschool days...

School is officially back in session, which means our schedules will be full of playdates, lessons, and practices. Luckily, Google has new games coming to Google Home on Monday for when your family would like to unwind for some family fun time (or a homework break).

Playdates are the norm for many kids. It's a date where they get to hang with their little friends while mom or dad have some adult interactions and don't completely lose their minds. We've started hosting epic mini playdates with some of our closest blogger buddies to give the kids some more fun to look forward to when there isn't anything else going on. Let me introduce our 1st and latest of our Monthly Blogger Kid Playdates: The Hatchimals Back To School Summer Bash!

The Title of this post is a little bit frightening, but it's my truth. My father passed away 16 years ago (This October) and it still hurts as if it happened yesterday. I was 11 years old and though I knew what was going on, my childish mind refused to fully understand it. I was a very furious 11-year-old girl and for these reasons:

It's Back To School time again and what better way to get started on having the most unique school supplies than to Do It Yourself? We've teamed up with Disney to create some truly fun and incredibly easy Pen and Pencil toppers that will make your child's accessories stand out. There's also a Giveaway at the end for a Copy of Elena Of Avalor's new adventure, ELENA OF AVALOR: REALM OF THE JAQUINS.

It was that time of year again when the annual MomTrends Back To School Event happened and it was fabulous! From School Supplies to Fashion Trends, there was surely a bit of everything for everyone.

If you've been following along on our many adventures, you know that we are OBSESSED with the Liberty Science Center over in Jersey City. Every day at LSC is a new adventure and every few months, there are brand new traveling exhibits! Here's a rundown of what you can expect to do at the Liberty Science Center for the next couple of weeks!

Teachers are a child's parental figures when you aren't around. We come across many teachers in our lifetime and many teach us the skills we need to keep moving forward, but then there are those extra special teachers that we just can't imagine life without!

Back in 2016, I attended a little seminar about NY's 529 College Savings Program and I heard these words from a speaker that has since stuck with me... She said, "$1 Saved is way less expensive than a $1 borrowed from a loan because it'll cost you that $1 plus interest to pay it back!" This was it. The truth. I watched my mother and sister struggle a bit with student loans before I had reached college, so I vowed to NEVER take out a Loan. The NY529 account that my mother had set up for me truly helped a lot and though my education has not been completed, I can relax with knowing I don't owe anyone a dime. Let me get a little more in-depth as to why NY's 529 College Savings Program allows me to give my child the most amazing experiences without worrying about her educational future.

Our favorite WORST superheroes are going on the big screen to NOT save the world at all, but instead to make us giggle til our tummies hurt... I've got Free Tickets for You to enjoy the Movie This Saturday at 11am in the AMC Lincoln Square Theatre...

You may be wondering "who is this Nancy?" Well, Nancy, a.k.a. Fancy Nancy is a girl who brings the fancy to everything from her advanced vocabulary to her creative, elaborate attire, and so much more.  Her new show on Disney Junior shows the stories, geared towards kids ages 2-5, which have an underlying theme of self-expression, originality, and love of family. All of this while teaching a few words from the French Vocabulary. So now that you are familiar with Fancy Nancy, Let's learn how to be Fancy... (In the Views of a Gorgeous Doll and 5-Year-Old Duo)

It's now the season for travel. It's also the time in which fashion changes from Long sleeves and pants to short sleeves and light skirts. We will be traveling to the Dominican Republic soon and I like to get us things that we will have exclusively to wear out there while brand new. Did I just confuse you a bit? What I mean is that I buy a few items for the travel and immediately pack it, then it doesn't get used until we travel. Kid City Stores had everything I needed for our trip and I was even able to grab some Bonus School Items for our New Kindergarten adventure coming August 20th... Enough of that, Here's our latest Fashion Haul.

We were invited to this event as media. All attendees received a Giftbag for attending.

Yes, You read my title correctly. It may give some of you a queasy feeling, but others may genuinely want to know what the heck I'm talking about. In today's society, people love popping pimples and zits. There's a calming and addictive effect of this trend and it's growing as we speak! (The Trend, not the pimples .... or both?) Did you know that popping pimples actually relieves stress? I guess this is why companies have started to create similarly disgusting, yet satisfying toys like this one... Zits (EWWW!) Pop n' Play Pimples.

We Love Bubbles. When it comes to outdoor fun activities, bubbles are always a go-to because kids can blow them, run through them and just overall enjoy them for hours! Now... They can even taste them. With Easter being TOMORROW, here are a few reasons why this quick Candy-Flavored Bubble Pick up will make you the Best Easter Basket Parent ever...

We've been a Toyota Family for as long as I can remember. My mother was a Toyota 4Runner obsessed Parent for YEARS until 2017 when we decided to switch over to a 2017 Toyota Highlander. The differences are MAJOR, but one thing is still the same... I feel safe. BTW, A Girls Guide to Cars is giving away 10 pairs of tickets to the New York Auto Show and a $150 gift card to a grand prize winner. It could be you!

It's that time of year when parents head out and try to find the best items to fill those awaited Easter Baskets. This year, I decided it would be fun to turn the candy / toy filled basket into a cute Garden Themed one in honor of the new animated film, SHERLOCK GNOMES! This movie will beg the question... Do You "GNOME" who did it?

If you're living under a rock, then let me inform you that THOR: RAGNAROK is a MUST SEE film. I will admit that I have yet to fully see the 1st Thor film, but Ragnarok is comedic gold... Here's why...

I have so many Travel-related posts to complete, but I thought it would be fun to tell you guys what my latest musical obsession is for the month of March. These are songs you may all know if you've watched the latest movies and a few you may not due to the language of it, but I'm obsessed so here goes...

Our latest trip to Orlando was really a sport all on its own. I made sure to really plan our days accordingly so that we would have time to do almost EVERYTHING we wanted to do out there. We got in pretty late on a Monday so planning anything aside from a bite to eat was a waste of time. The next day was activity day and the first thing on our list was a visit to Crayola Experience in Orlando. Here are my top 3 reasons why visiting the Crayola Experience in Orlando is a MUST...

We Traveled! I Hadn't been on a Plane since I headed to the Dominican Republic back in 2010. It's now 2018 and though we weren't traveling International, we were still hopping on a plane to the Happiest Place On Earth. My kid had NO idea and it was her first time traveling, so imagine the skill it took to pack things in her Luggage and trying on Summery outfits to make sure it fit her. Here's how we packed for a week of fun with a Wedding on the side...

I must start by telling you that we've all become Un Poco Loco with COCO! This wonderful film is just so vibrant and full of Life (even after Death). It did raise many questions in regards to death from my 5-year-old, but nothing that was too difficult to explain while using the movie as a reference. It's the ultimate family film so why not put together a family fun movie night?

#PalmersBellyEvent #PalmersBelly

When I was pregant, I tried hard to keep up with a routine for my belly. I was an inconsistent sleeper so my schedule for going to bed, putting on night cream, or any other nightly things never happened the way I wanted them to. Dare I say, I definitely earned my Tiger Stripes. Fast forward to now and Palmer's has created an incredible new line that is said to be more amazing than the last. With the new formulated ingredients, New Mom Bellies everywhere can rejoice.

Happy New Year, Everyone! I've been MIA mostly because I've been too busy working, super tired, and planning a mini long needed vacation. My daughter is a January baby and just turned 5! She LOVES parties so I had to celebrate some way. I asked her what her theme should be and she immediately said "Creative Galaxy"... I had lots to do since there was NOTHING out there on how to put this theme together. It was time to Mix, Match, and Improvise.
