Holiday Fun at Chuck E. Cheese & Family Pack Giveaway!

There are certain experiences from childhood that I hold near and dear to my heart. These are experiences I always knew I would one day share with my own children.  One of those includes family trips to Chuck E. Cheese!  I recall going on “special occasions,” for example, to celebrate a good report card, for [...]

SpudBob SquarePants Mr. Potato Head & SpongeBob ShakyPants Review

  Family favorite television network Nickelodeon has teamed up with Hasbro and Jakks Pacific to create a fun new lineup of products for the holiday season. We had the opportunity to review an especially cool toy called SpudBob SquarePants.  Of course, this cute little guy is based on the loveable SpongeBob character that everyone loves! My preschooler happens [...]

Playskool Poppin’ Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper Review

This fall, parent go-to brand Playskool has introduced a new line of fun infant products and I was given the opportunity to review some of their offerings.  Since I have a 12-month-old as well as a 2 1/2 year old I decided to go with a toy that could possibly entertain them both. I selected [...]

Shootie Girl “Bling” Tee Review

So anyone who has ever met me in person (or interacted with me for more than 10 seconds) knows that I’m a girly girl. I mean, there’s really no way around it, I’m a “prissy mommy” all the way.  And, like any self-respecting girly girl, I just love things that sparkle. I mean, I really [...]

Britax Baby Carrier Review

Ever since my son Bryce was born I’ve worn him on me.  It’s such a simple and easy way to transport him around wherever we go. Sometimes a stroller just isn’t appropriate, especially when you live in the city. I also love the convenience of baby-wearing – it allows my hands to be free, which is [...]

Dora & Diego Save the Rainforest at Central Park Zoo!

This past weekend my family and I experienced the magic of “Dora & Diego’s 4-D Adventure,” showing at Central Park Zoo in NYC.  The 15-minute film is an exciting, whirlwind adventure that stars every preschooler’s favorite little animal rescuers: Dora and her cousin Diego!  Kids can now see the popular Nick Jr. characters animated in digital 3-D, [...]

Personalized Cake Toppers With YouCake

When I planned for my National Mom’s Nite Out Celebration I knew that I wanted to have a sweet little treat to thank those who took the time to come and support me.  I also knew that I wanted it to be special and with a personal touch.  So I decided to go with a [...]

Baby Einstein ~ World of Rhythm Discovery Kit Review

  Baby Einstein has been an important part of my family’s life for the last two years – since my first son was born, to be exact.  Both of my boys have since enjoyed singing and dancing along with the videos, been lulled to sleep by the lullaby CDs, and my oldest son Chase spent many a months bouncing [...]

LeapFrog Shapes & Sharing Picnic Basket Review

LeapFrog has done it again with yet another fun and educational toy that will keep your little ones entertained for hours on end.  My family has long been a fan of LeapFrog – both our boys loved their Learn & Groove Musical Table from infancy into toddler-hood and, taking after his parents, our 2-year old [...]
