Who likes a nice tall glass of water? Or a tall glass of milk? How about breast-milk!? I remember back during the Jerry Springer days — where kids would cut school to watch the raunchy show, there was an episode once where this woman stripper would let her clients drink her breast milk! Don’t ask me how this came to mind, but it did. So I decided to take it…
Aren’t we all a bit obsessed with weight? We may be skinny and ‘perfect’ just like society wants, but we still find something wrong with ourselves. Ever wonder where that feeling of wanting to be skinny meant perfection? Of course it comes from a slue of things– media, peers, family– and even the toys we played with. For instance growing up I played with these beautiful long blonde haired, pin-thin,…
We all know that too much sun exposure is bad for you. We also know that sunblock should be used to lower the possibility of skin cancer, getting burned and aging not so gracefully. But do we listen? No. I was always one that didn’t care much about my skin. Guilty! All I cared about was getting tanned, but after my recent “tanning” incident where I put on tanning lotion…
Ziana and her friend two days ago It’s a controversial topic– rear-facing (RF) car seat vs. front-facing (FF) car seat. I didn’t know there was such fuss over the topic. The only thing I knew was that RF is the safest for your child, but didn’t know why or that other parents would give you the side eye and be angrily against it for even mentioning FF car seat for…
Sassy baby products ‘love to have fun and take child and take product development seriously.’ I would’ve believed that statement if one of their products didn’t falter– so cute right!? Look at the hole– Lets squeeze some of that material out into a bowl shall we? I don’t think that’s safe at all! Lets cut it open now– This is what came out into my daughters bath! Her favorite bath…
Who hasn’t jaywalked right? We all have. We all jaywalk because we like to save time. And although we know it’s a crime (at least some of us do) we continue to do it without thinking of the possible repercussions. I jaywalk to a certain extent, but never to the extreme where there’s massive oncoming traffic or I’m hanging the stroller out on the street while I’m safe on the…
I don’t think anyone really likes the KarTRASHian, sorry I meant Kardashian family–Freudian slip. We love to hate them (most of them) because their so easy to hate. Who actually likes self-absorbed, money-grubbing pimps? Yes pimps. In any case, that’s not what this post is about. We’ve all seen how much Kim Kardashian is OBSESSED with plastic surgery; Botox, lip-injection, breast augmentation and maybe some booty shots (which is debatable).…
What age is appropriate for a kid to have a social media account? A few years back– during my time it wasn’t something kids really had and if they did their parents got the raised eyebrow look. Now, since we’re in a society where kids act like adults it’s somewhat more acceptable. Acceptable for that era, but still a bit questionable for the older folks. I’m not old, but I…
**UPDATE** Many of you may remember the Krim murders that happened just days before Halloween last year (October 25, 2012) when two innocent children Lucia (5) and her brother Leo(2) were brutally murdered by their nanny on the Upper West Side. This story didn’t make headlines the way it was suppose to because then just a couple of days later Hurricane Sandy hit and the murders got pushed to the…
This weekend I hung out with a childhood friend, Daniela, who is married with no kids. It was great catching up and talking about the old days. I left Ziana with daddy since she had been a huge pain the past three days. While Daniela spoke I realized how different our lives were and started to wonder if it wasn’t for Ziana how different my life would be. Would I…
People always ask, “when do you plan on going back to work?” Um, as if being a stay-at-home parent wasn’t work! People don’t see raising a child as work and I totally understand because I use to be one of those people. What’s so hard about staying home with someone you love? Well there’s plenty to the job description then just “staying home.” I miss the days I’d get to…
