Bubbles are always a popular activity at my house and last weekend my two children and I made our own bubble wands. We spent about an hour putting together Arterro’s Bubble Wand Kit with my four year old daughter and six year old son…
Britax B-Ready Stroller
If you are like most moms you have probably tried out several strollers before finding the one that works for you. You may even have multiple strollers to meet your needs for different adventures.
I have two children, ages (almost) 5 and 2, and another baby on the way. So, I have a single travel system, a double travel system, single umbrella, double umbrella, and a double jogger, which I rotate depending on where I am going and whether I have one or two kids with me.
Finally there is a stroller that meets our every need. The Britax B-Ready Stroller is highly versatile and easy to use. With its fourteen different combination options it truly is the one stroller that fits all.
Think Tink: Disney’s Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue
I was honored with the chance to preview Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, the third film in the Tinker Bell series set to hit stores September 21, 2010.
There we were, a group of grown women sitting in the Frank G. Wells theatre of the Disney studios in Hollywood, CA, relishing in the history of the building and imagining the Disney royalty that sat in the same room. See, this part of the studio lot is completely closed off to the public…let the magic begin!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
My two preschool-age girls love to dress -up. With My 1st Career Gear by Aeromax their imaginations soared beyond the princess dresses and crowns that litter the floor of our house every day. When they tried on the career gear, each instantly became a doctor and a chef, switched outfits, and started all over again.
These are the People in Your Neighborhood
What does your family look like? How about the family down the block?
Guidecraft makes beautiful wooden multicultural family figurines that reflect the diversity around us.
Both my preschooler and toddler, as well as visiting kindergartners and school-aged children engage in creative, pro-social play with these chunky blocks for hours on end…
Lemon Drops and Lollipops
What says Spring quite like flowery sundresses and brightly colored…hair? My preschool daughter, lover of all things pink, will create entire masterpieces in fuchsia. In her self-portraits, she is sometimes a vivid share of electric pink from head to toe. So, she adores her new punky-funky Corolle Les Dollies Pink Doll.
This little charmer has the sweetest little girl face with bright eyes, full, freckled cheeks, and a mischievous smirk. Her so-trendy cotton candy hair is rooted and brushable. Her trendy little sun dress with vivid butterflies…
A Mom Amok in the Hasbro Showroom
Nicole Caccavo Kear is a college friend, a fabulous actress, and a stunning writer–plus she lives in Brooklyn and has launched a witty, honest, and insightful blog about motherhood, A Mom Amok. So, she is a natural fit for checking out New York City events for kids and parents. She visited the Hasbro Showroom and found some new twists on classic toys and games…
Conserve and Preserve–One Bite at a Time!
We love the “new again” trend of packing school lunches in reusable containers–it is a little way even small children can push back against a society addicted to disposables. Plus, many of the containers like the ones at Kids Konserve are so eco-chic!
Driving in my car…Beep, Beep!
The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is, hands down, the most popular toy at our play dates.
We’ve been able to teach the toddlers and preschoolers to line up, inspired by their desire for a turn at the Cozy Coupe…
