During our family trip to Curacao we stayed at the Hilton Curaçao Resort which is centrally located in the middle of the island in between the west and east sides of Curaçao. Thank you to the Hilton Curaçao for our stay during our trip! The Hilton Curaçao Resort is a large hotel with 197 rooms that have recently been renovated, which means new bathrooms and newer furnishings. The outside does look older than some…
Earlier this month, we went to Hershey Park for a family weekend trip. We normally visit Hershey Park during the summer, but weren’t able to make it during the warmer months, so decided to try out the park during the fall season. One of my tips to to save money when we visit Hershey Park, is to stay in a hotel near the park, but not an official Hershey Park hotel….
It’s Earth Day and it’s a reminder of the many things that we could do to help maintain our mother earth for our children and our children’s children. A simple way to help is by using those reusable plastic bags that you know you have in your closet. If you know that you are going to the grocery store or to the farmer’s market, just pop one into your purse…
We haven’t had a vacuum in over 7 years. We had one that was the right size for our New York City apartment, but it had a cord and had this bag that captured all the disgusting dirt and dust that it sucked up, but when it was full, I had to empty it (which I never did) and buy more bags (which I also never did). It just wasn’t…
We live in New York City, which means we ride the subway as our main mode of transportation. Although we love staying in the city, exploring, eating at our favorite restaurants and playing in our great playgrounds, we like to get out and away for the weekend. Evenflo, gave our family an amazing opportunity to visit Woodloch Pines Resort in the Pocono Mountains while testing out Evenflo Platinum SecureKid™ DLX…
Yogurt is a staple in our family’s fridge, especially Stonyfield Greek yogurt. Stonyfield brand yogurts are my brand of choice when food shopping because they are USDA organic, which is something I try to provide for my family: organic dairy products. They completely obsess over everything they put into their organic yogurt, frozen yogurt and smoothies (my girls’ favorite!) There aren’t any toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones, antibiotics and GMOs We eat…
This past week, Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends invited me a several other influencers to watch a screening of the film, What Maisie Knew, directed by Scott McGhee and David Siegel; starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgard and featuring the young and amazing Onata Aprile, who plays Maisie. The film is based on of the Henry James novel, What Maisie Knew, first published in 1897. The film is set in modern times…
Several weeks ago, we went to the movies and saw the preview for Katy Perry’s 3-D movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me. Olivia quickly looked at me and said, “For my birthday party, we’re going to get our nails done and see the Katy Perry movie.“ Well, okee-dokee! I guess it’s decided then. I had reservations about bringing several 9-year old girls to see this movie, so luckily, O and…
When our eldest daughter turned 7 earlier this summer, we decided that it was time to change her room into a Big Birl Room. I searched online for an affordable kids desk – one that wouldn’t fall apart next year, but wasn’t so expensive that it cost more than the furniture in my bedroom. I searched on Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Teen, Ikea, Target, and finally, JCPenney. JCPenney has…
