Seriously, I am asking. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO?! For about a month now, we have been having issues with getting and staying dressed. Mornings usually consist of me exerting all my daily energy into just getting her dressed. Then followed by the ripping off of said clothes I spent a good 10 minutes trying to put on. Oh, and how could I forget the 20 minute long tantrum that follows. Now, it’s not every day, but its about 5 of the 7 days of the week. This is stuff that drives mom’s to drink bottles of wine to…

They have rolled out their fashionable summer looks early to help you get ready for you’re busy summer. Whether your kids are going to camp, beach, the pool or you are headed on a fantastic family vacation, The Children’s Place has you covered.

5 People To Avoid While Pregnant
0Now that I am expecting my second daughter this August, I seemed to have conveniently forgot about the little annoyances of being pregnant. Aside from your usual’s, ie: morning sickness, prenatal horse pills, snoring and frequent peeing, I seemed to have blocked out all the crazy encounters that occur while preggo. Yes, I am talking about the complete strangers (and sometimes not) that go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable, awkward and want to run for the hills. You might think this is my negative “I hate people” attitude, because most of the times, these people don’t…
Preggatinis! Mocktails Made Easy + Recipe
0My awesome friend sent me a little preggo package when we announced we were having another baby. When I opened the box there were a giant container of chocolate covered pretzels (sweet & salty-can’t beat that!) and a book, Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be by Natlie Bovis-Nelson. For everyone who knows me knows that giving up my wonderful friends vodka and vino for 10 months is the hardest. The only consecutive months I have had of sobriety have been while pregnant! So I was beyond thrilled to see this book full of yummy non-alcholic “mocktails”. Pregnant ladies shouldn’t feel left…
The Children’s Place Baby Sleeps in Style Contest
0Vote For Ava! Yes, I am shamelessly plugging a contest my daughter is in. I have zero shame! A few weeks ago I wrote about some adorable styles of PJ’s over at The Children’s Place and the awesome people at TCP entered her in their Baby Sleeps in Style Contest! Whoohoo! This is our first contest with her so I would LOVE to win, but if not, I at least don’t want to come in last! So, to my awesome readers – I ask of you to simply follow this link to The Children’s Place Facebook page and ‘Like’ this…
Sleeping In Style ft. The Children’s Place
0Just because you are asleep, doesn’t mean you can’t look good! That directly applies to the little ones too, especially in my case. My daughter, Ava, is a fashion diva who loves clothes just as much as her mommy. She helps me pick out what I’m wearing for the day and if she doesn’t like what I pick out for her, the little stinker will take it off and won’t get dressed until she approves of the next look. Is that normal for an almost 2 year old? So, at a recent trip to The Children’s Place, I picked up…
Getting Your Toddler To Do Your Housework
0Lets face it, housework and chores are a pain in the ass, but we have to do. Otherwise we’d all be on that show “Hoarders”. I hate doing it and I really shouldn’t since I am a stay-at-home-mom. But cleaning, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, laundry is just the absolute worst. This may or may not be considered child labor but my toddler loves doing chores. I don’t know if its because she thinks its a game or the fact she usually gets a special treat after helping but lately I have been letting her help me with all my daily and…
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…
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
0With September being Childhood Cancer Awareness month, its good to always know that skin cancer doesn’t just affect us adults. More teens and young adults are developing skin cancer – scary! I’ve lived in South Florida for about half my life and laying out in the sun has become just a part of life. Now that I have a daughter of my own who loves the pool and beach, I am more aware of the harmful effects of the sun and UV rays. I constantly apply lotion while out in the sun, along with a hat and sunglasses (when she…
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…
