As a blogger, I get a chance to see all of the hottest holiday toys at events such as Toy Fair, Time to Play and more. Here are a few of my favorite toys….
Go Anywhere with this Kids’ Travel Bed from Leaps and Bounds
As an only child, I grew up in a lovely home with two bedrooms.
When we visit my parents with our mini tribe of three, there’s plenty of love…but a shortage of places to sleep. No problem! We brought along the Tuck-Me-In Travel Bed from Leaps and Bounds.

Get Motivated with a Health Challenge
Here’s a math word problem for you:
Dance class lets out in five minutes and then we have a Daisy Troop meeting; Dad is staying late at work and mom has a deadline tomorrow. What are the odds we are ordering pizza tonight?
One of my biggest health challenges is finding the time to cook. I love to cook. Before we had kids, our apartment kitchen was probably one of the few in Manhattan that saw regular use. With three young children, though, we order take out more times than I would like to admit.
Thankful for My Children’s Health
As a mom who has spent the last six years either pregnant, breastfeeding, or both, I prefer products that are free of chemicals of concern. What goes in or on my body may end up in their growing systems. When my little nursling “Eats at Mom’s”, I want him to have a clean booth.
Crystal Deodorant asked me to try their Roll-On and I headed right off to Walmart to buy some.
A Healthy Baby is Worth the Wait!
We often hear about the worries of going “past due” on your pregnancy but do you know about the risks of elective induction?
I found myself weight the options at almost 42 weeks pregnant…
UPrinting Business Cards Giveaway!
Looking professional is very important for most businesses. For small businesses, personalizing your own business cards might be the way to get clients, secure advertising or simply get your name out there. They have a high market value and give those you interact with an idea of what you are capable of doing and willing to offer. Through UPrinting, business cards can be colorful, clear and individualized to your own needs.
Holiday Clothing Care
Before I had children, I would hand-wash lingerie and other delicate clothing in the sink and then hang it to dry. With a preschooler and a baby in the house, it’s harder to find the time.
The Whirlpool Duet Washer has a hand-wash cycle, which I used for delicate sweaters, blouses, lingerie and silk hosiery. Using the hand-wash cycle saved time and effort, and my items came out looking as good as new.
Ahoy…It’s a Pirate Christmas on Disney Junior
Little girls adore the Disney Princesses, and I was no exception. I have so many fond memories of watching Disney movies with my mom. In fact, when I found out I was having a boy, I actually remembering thinking that it was a shame I wouldn’t be able to share my love of Disney with him. Now I’m a mom to two boys, and I’ve discovered that Disney has just as much to offer boys as girls.
My son adores Lightning McQueen and the CARS characters as well as Woody and Buzz from Toy Story. He loves adventure, and his favorite TV show is Disney Junior’s Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
Jake and the Never Land Pirates is the #1 cable series for Boys 2-5 and on track to be the Disney Channel’s #1 preschool series ever.
Chemical Free Beauty
When it comes to beauty regiments, all women have their fair share of preferred products, unusual routines and necessary traditions. Sensitive skin or finicky hair can play a big role in which products are used and it can be generally agreed upon that some of the more natural products promote youth through their lack of chemicals and help us all to feel good about what we put on our bodies. Searching for effective yet natural products can sometimes be a struggle, but Abe’s Market has a huge variety of products that will serve you just as well as their chemical-laden counterpart.
