They never said potty training boys would be easy, and I thought I would be one of the lucky ones who would be done with it in just a matter of 3 days. I mean, come on, Ziana took about a week, but then again she is a girl. Apparently, boys take longer to train- go figure! When I potty trained Ziana it was only her, her and I, a…
*This post “Valentine’s Day Decor for Your Home” is sponsored by Oriental Trading* Alright, alright so I did it– talking about what I would want in my home from the last post made the browsing into an actual purchase, or two, or three. At first I wasn’t going to decorate because my style is country farmhouse and pinks just don’t mix in with it too well, but red does. I…
New York City Dads Can Now Change Dirty Diapers As a parent we become pretty great at MacGyvering our way through any situation where we need to make things happen for our children. I remember numerous times where I would walk to a bathroom with the kids and walk into a bunch of stalls with no changing tables. Here come those handy MacGyver skills to use– angrily ripping thousands of…
Best Crockpot Turkey Chili Last week we were hit with a massive winter storm in NYC; flights were canceled, school was out (which is a good/bad thing depending on if the kids get a long), and two-inches of snow poured down every hour. Yes, two hours! Crazy right? It was gorgeous to look at– from my window. Now, we can handle snow, we’re New Yorker’s we can handle anything, but…

The hearts that are flying off the fireplace onto the wall is definitely a nice touch.

Starbuck’s Harry Potter Secret Menu I was never into the series of books J.K. Rowling put out during my youth, it just never grabbed my attention. Even when the series of films came out, again I was like, “No thanks.” It wasn’t until we made it to Universal Studios and hello Wizarding World! After that I was intrigued and was all for giving the Harry Potter series a looksy. While…
Here’s to a New Year, New Me? When December hits people start thinking about the new year that’s approaching. List of goals we want to accomplish and how to better ourselves. I never cared much for those lists mostly because I never follow through– I’m too lazy to eat right, I’m way too tired to work out and it’s hard to change yourself! But, I get why these “lists” are…
Before you gift those Christmas gifts buy those Duracell batteries!…
Holiday Disney Gift Guide I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person who doesn’t like, love or is obsessed with anything Disney. It every child’s dream to one day hope on a plane and head to Disney World. Heck, it’s still a dream for me to go every year– but I’m not a millionaire. And as much as I love Disney, I’m not one of those folks who wants…
Farmhouse Christmas Tree Ideas Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree! We found our tree, chopped it down and then finally decorated it. For about 4 years we kept with the same theme; colorful balls, every and any ornaments that were given to use and those green tree stands. Nothing special about it, but this year I wanted to put actual effort into it. I decided on, of course, a country…
Elf on The Shelf Ideas He’s baccccck! Elf on the Shelf is back in our lives or as we call him in our home Tony Antonio Ton-Ton– long name we couldn’t agree on a name thus put them all together. What do you call yours? I’m always curious to know if anyone has fun name like ours. Some people love that little guy– or girl because it brings something extra…
