Valentines Day Cake Pops
Valentines day cake pops are my favorite and Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, and we wanted to make some treats to celebrate. My kids are big fans of cake pops but I honestly had no idea of how they made them. I found out it was actually pretty simple, so I wanted to share what we did. First, I’ll share what you are going to need to make some delicious cake pops. What you will need to buy is: icing, cake mix, cake pop sticks, chocolate chip, and sprinkles. The first step in the valentines day cake pops process is making your cake. We used the funfetti kind because…

The Kartrite Waterpark and Resort
This past weekend we took the kids out to the Kartrite Waterpark and Resort. The winter months can get a bit stir crazy. It is way too cold to be outside, and being home doesn’t keep kids entertained for very long either. When possible, we like to get away for the weekend and recently found out about the Kartrite. It wasn’t far from out our so decided it would be great for a weekend trip. When we got there my kids were immediately excited, and wanted to go swimming ASAP. Any trips where they can swim are their favorite. Luckily, check in at the kartrite was super quick, so we…

Holiday Style Guide
You are probably doing a lot of holiday shopping, so why not get a little something for yourself. I decided to put together a holiday style guide. Usually, I like to get a little more dressed up than I normally would, so I picked some adorable dresses. Some years I do decide to keep it a bit more casual, so I included some tops as well. A nicer top with some jeans can be a perfect look for that family party too. Shop our boutique of holiday favorites below.

Holiday Beauty Essentials
The holidays mean lots of holiday parties and fun and time to get those holiday beauty essentials. With all the events I like to try a little bit of a different look. Usually I will keep it simple and not too done up. However, during holiday time I will make my look a little more glam. What are my favorite ways to glam it up? First of all, lots of sparkle. There are few things I love more than sparkle. I will use my favorite eyeshadow colors, but get a sparkle version. So some honey type colors that have sparkle, or even add some silver sparkle on top of whatever…

Holiday Train Show NYC
Since the holidays are now approaching, we wanted to take the kids for some holiday themed excursions. We wound up taking them out to the Holiday train show NYC at the New York Botanical Gardens. It was freezing outside when we went, but luckily everything was indoors. They got to check out model trains going through displays of NY landmarks. The holiday train show was set up in a winter wonderland theme too, so there were plenty of Christmas trees and snow. My sons favorite part was that there was a Thomas the train there too. We went early so it wasn’t too busy yet, and there was a cafe…

Thanksgiving Desserts for Kids
Adriana has been really into baking lately. So we wanted to find some fun Thanksgiving desserts for kids for her to make. We decided to make some Turkey cupcakes. It was fun because it was easy enough for her to do on her own (she’s 3) and didn’t have too make ingredients. So she made a cooking show making her favorite thanksgiving desserts for kids, turkey cupcakes. Here is how we made them. First, we just got our favorite cupcake mix. Hey, if you are feeling ambitious, you can make from scratch but we wanted to keep it simple. We followed the directions for the mix, and once they were…

Halloween Outfits for kids who love Halloween
I don’t know about your kids, but my kids would dress in Halloween outfits all year long if they could Halloween is probably one of their favorite times of the year. I mean they get to dress up in whatever they want and I’ll allow it, and also eat much more candy than I would typically allow. This year, my son is going to be batman and my daughter is going to be a unicorn. They have been asking to go trick or treating for the past few weeks already. In the meantime, they did get to enjoy going pumpkin picking and seeing jack o’lanterns which they appreciated for now.…

Our Trip to Splashdown Beach
Some video and fun from our day trip Splashdown Beach Trip: We were looking to get some last minute summer fun in before it was over, and our kids love going to waterparks. Since we found out Splashdown Beach wasn’t too far from us we decided to head out there for the day. It was a smaller park, so it was manageable going with smaller kids. They liked running around the splashers and all the waterslides. There was also a pirate ship waterslides and splashers which was a favorite. They took a trip down the lazy river, and also to the wave pool. This was their first time at a…

The Grove Resort and Spa
Our Trip to Orlando Florida at the Grove resort and Spa It was Spring Break time and we decided to get out to Orlando Florida. We wanted to go to Disney World, but also have some time to relax as well. For this trip we decided to stay at The Grove Resort and Spa. The grove resort and spa wound up being easy and kid-friendly for us. Since we had a three bedroom suite nobody had to share a room which was great. It was set up with a full kitchen too for all the extensive cooking that I get to do for a 2 and 5 year old (Mac…
