When I met my husband almost 9 years ago, I didn't know a first down from a touchdown. But then I met hubby, moved to Philadelphia and everything changed. Being an Eagles fan and living in Philadelphia is like being a human and needing to eat. It just is. Okay well that may be a *slight* exaggeration, but Philly's a town with a ton of heart and spirit and one of the times it's the most prominent is during football… Read More

This year's Halloween is our biggest yet. At almost-4, my oldest has been asking about it since last spring. He's held firm on what he wants to be for months: a superhero. I don't know where he learned about it but he's been on a kick with the "traditional" superheroes for awhile now -- Superman, Batman and Spiderman being the top three. Each night when he goes to bed, we have to "do" one of the three. Superman involves one… Read More

I have a 15-pound weight range. Weight "A" is my happy woohoo-skinny-jeans weight and Weight "B" is the Whitney-stop-eating-and-get-your-butt-back-to-the-gym higher end.

It's a toy... no wait, it's a pillow... or is it a blanket?

I'm all for the multi-functional product, and here's one where you really get your money's worth: Zoobie Pets. It looks to be an ordinary stuffed animal, right? It's that and more - Zoobie Pets have 3 uses, 1) it's a stuffed animal, 2) it's a pillow and 3) it's a blanket.

We have the monkey and here's now it works. The monkey… Read More

I'm gym-obsessed, for a number of reasons. Working out is a bit addicting; my kids love it; they have a great outdoor waterpark for my oldest in the summertime, and working out keeps me healthy and happy which is a good thing for my children as well.

Beyond that, all of my oldest's extra-curricular activities are at our gym. At any given time, he's in number of programs - this month it's soccer and basketball for 3-5 year olds. … Read More

My love of Apple and computers began in the mid-80s, when I'd spend hours drawing pictures in MacPaint on my parents first Macintosh. Since then, I've been through many computers, cell phones, laptops, PDAs and more. I confess; I'm a Mama with a techie/geek streak.

Baby and phone do not mix well
So recently, when my pretty pink Motorola Razr broke (yes, there is a repercussion to letting your 9-month old use your cell phone as a teething toy),… Read More
