I spent a considerable portion of my Sunday afternoon at Babies R Us (as did everyone in the tri-state area, apparently). It was just another errand to me, since my husband and I unfortunately frequent the store for items we can’t find other places.
We were debating whether or not to buy a rain cover for [...]
I had the pleasure of receiving Sara Holliday’s Stroller Workout for Moms to review last month, and I was interested just by looking at the cover of the DVD. Often it’s difficult to find time away from our children to work out, especially if we have infants, so a workout that incorporates children is always [...]
Viveca Jensen’s Piloxing promises to make you “sleek, sexy and powerful” through the combination of pilates and boxing. An interesting combination, since so much of pilates concentrates on graceful, sometimes slower movements, while boxing is obviously more fast-paced. As with other workouts I’ve been sent to review, I modified this routine to a more low-impact [...]
What happens when you combine a virus, a young child and a bit of bad luck? A night in the children’s hospital!
Seriously though, if you have small children around 6 months to 3 years, it will behoove you to know the warnings signs of croup. If your child wheezes from time to time anyway as [...]
Admittedly, I am not much of a cook. Probably a bit of a disappointment to the ladies in my family, especially my Italian grandmother, I have never really been interested in cooking (or the subsequent cleaning involved). However, I do have a fascination with making organic baby food for some reason.
I attempted this seemingly simple [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about stay-at-home-moms versus working moms, and the stereotypes and stigmas that attach to each role. Being a stay-at-home-mom has never been a consideration of mine for various reasons (financial, lack of patience, etc.), but writing the exorbitant check to daycare each month does cause me to wonder…
Growing up with [...]
For as long as I can remember, I have loved the sun and the sand. While as a child I did wear sunscreen (it seemed to take SO long to apply!), there has been inevitable sun damage to my skin. In fact, the Cancer Council of Australia believes that our risk for skin cancer throughout [...]
You’ve finally decided to begin your exercise routine. Losing your baby weight or just dropping a few extra pounds, you’re motivated and have all of your equipment in place. Unfortunately, you still lack “support” in one key area – your sports bra.
Over the years, as a dancer and athlete, I’ve tried many brands, styles and [...]
In my June 8th article, I reviewed Pee Wee Pilates, a book full of pilates exercises for mama and baby. But what happens when your baby is too cool (or too big) to use as resistance in your crunches? It’s time to play your hand with The Kids’ Yoga Deck by Annie Buckley.
There are countless [...]
Do a little dance… look at all the bubbles… get down tonight! Dancing always puts a smile on my face, so when I came across Baby Loves Disco, I had to learn more. Baby Loves Disco, initially out of Philadelphia, will fill the void we have for our pre-baby partying lifestyle! Well, maybe the void [...]
