The most common food allergy in children is nuts, so don’t bust out the PB&J sandwiches just yet! As a parent, I was pretty reluctant with giving my daughter any nut-related food until she was well over the age of one. Miami Children’s Hospital wants us parents to be aware of this seriousness of nut allergies. Here are 5 things that every mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent – every and anyone – need to know about nut allergies & children: 1. Commonality Nuts are one of the most common allergy-causing foods, affecting over 20 million people in the U.S. And…
Don’t Forget Your Shades This Fall!
0Even though the cooler weather has taken over most parts of the U.S. – yes, even down here in Florida its gotten down to the 70’s – we have taken our family fun from the pools and beach to the parks and fields. The sun is still blazing and those dangerous UV rays can still do damage to your kiddos eyes. So parents-we need to be prepared with the right sun glasses for all the fun fall activities we are participating in – apple picking, soccer, football, picnics, swings – protecting your families eye health should be on the top…

FINALLY! ‘Bubble Guppies’ Toys
0While doing my morning computer rituals of checking emails and seeing whats going on with the world of Facebook, I saw a very interesting post from Nickelodeon. Now, I’m sure you all remember my love/hate relationship with Nick here and here. I don’t really complain much about the unstable premieres of new shows, but mostly with the toys and other ‘Bubble Guppies’ merchandise (or lack there of). Again, we love books..but where are the toys?! Well my fellow parents of ‘Bubble Guppies’ obsessed children, our prayers of these missing merchandise items is slowly being answered. On Amazon.com you can pre-order…
10 Unique Gift Ideas For Twins
0My sister was blessed to have two healthy TWIN baby girl’s a little over a month ago. The entire family is still in shock that there are two more in the family..so surreal. I scrambled to find the perfect gift for these twinies. Besides helping out with some basics, I really wanted to welcome my nieces into the family in a special way. As always, I waited till the last minute and ended up running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off. I noticed there aren’t much “twin” stuff that is readily accessible. If you go to any…
50 Shades of….Eye Safety?
0Living in South Florida, we are very fortunate to have some amazing weather all year round. Since my daughter was an infant, we immediately took advantage of enjoying playtime outdoors, especially poolside. In pure Anti Mom fashion, she was decked out from head to toe in the cutest bathing suits and swimming accessories. I had a pair of infant shades that we would put on her because we thought she looked like a little movie star. Some days though, I just would put a cute hat on her head. Little did I know I was putting my sweet angel’s eyes…
Baby, Brush Those Teeth!
0Good oral hygiene should be #1 on everyone’s list. So once my lil one started sprouting teeth, we got her her very own little tooth brush and gum gel. She of course thought it was the greatest thing ever and thought we gave her a new chew toy. Little did she know we were beginning to instill in her that she’s got to brush her teeth. Every morning and night we brush to get her into the habit. Now that she pretty much has a mouth full of choppers, she looks for the brushing every day and we of course…
Praise Thee Single Parent
0I have been blessed to have family living extremely close to me. If I need any help with my lil kiddo, I have my parents 10 minutes South of us, my mother-in-law 10 minutes North, scattered relatives all over Broward/Dade area and a very involved and hands-on husband. If I ever need a hour to myself or we want to have a date night-they are there. Except this weekend. My husband was out of town on a guys trip, my mother-in-law is summering upstate New York, and my mother jetted off to help my very pregnant-with-twins sister. So I was…
