I’ve partnered with @JohnsonsBaby for this Travel Must Haves post. School is almost over here in the east-coast which only means that it’s time to start thinking about travel, if you haven’t already. We have a few places planned like Splish Splash, Sesame Place, hopefully Philly, and of course months of playing with the beach waves. As much as I love traveling, I can’t stand to pack! I’m packing for…
*Best Inclusive Family Resort: Woodloch was sponsored. All opinions are my own. thatsBetsyV blogs* Before I met my boyfriend I don’t think I ever made my way to Pennsylvania. What could possibly be there? Of course, being together for 7 years I’ve learned, well, there’s plenty to do up there. One place that came up numerous times during our relationship is how much he enjoyed working at Woodloch as a…
Getting your child into the world of acting or modeling is no easy task. There are thousands of reputable agencies, just like there are thousands of scam agencies. You must always be mindful of what to look for and with years of experience one of the most important things I learned was to follow my instincts. Yet, some people don’t have them or don’t trust them, so I wanted to…
Tips for Teaching Kids Responsibilities I often get asked on tips for teaching kids responsibilities and people wonder how my kids are so responsible for their age and wowed with how much they do on their own. I didn’t know it was a big deal, until I spoke to other parents and they told me how much their kids don’t do. My cousin for instance has her 5-year-old son who still…
Congrats mommy’s and daddy’s we’ve made it to 100 gruesome FUN, yes fun days of school! It’s a nice reminder to let the kids know that they’ve made it through 100 days, which is big number for them, but also a nice reminder for us parents that all those days of us trying to figure out how to do their homework and early wake-up calls are soon coming to an…
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…
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…
Before you gift those Christmas gifts buy those Duracell batteries!…
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…
Christmas Tree Farm Another year and we have yet to break our yearly Christmas tradition hunting our tree down at Santa’s Christmas Tree Farm out in Long Island. When we go looking for a tree we walk for a good 25 to 30 minutes up and down– some are still growing, others are too tall, some aren’t full and some just don’t speak to us. Yes, inanimate objects speak to…
*This post is a collaboration with Licefreee and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. All opinions on head lice and Licefreee are my own* We’re here again yet another school year having to potentially deal with head lice. Now I touched on head lice last year when there was an incident in Ziana’s class, but I never discussed the truths and myths of lice. First and foremost, it can happen to anyone. They…
