About 3 years ago, I potty trained my first daughter, PP. She was three months shy of turning 3, so I felt she was definitely ready to conquer the throne (even though she really wasn’t too excited about it). Fast forward 3 years, and it’s Pinkie Pie’s turn. She just turned two and a half [...]

Introducing the New Graco Ready2Grow Stand and Ride Stroller!
Graco is excited to announce our newest double stroller, the Ready2Grow stand and ride stroller. Most people are probably more familiar with Graco’s tandem double strollers (DuoGlider, Quattro Tour Duo), which are the ones that the two kids sit back to back. What is so exciting about this double stroller is that it provides 12 [...]
Raising Non-Princesses
I was inspired to write this post after reading a blog post about Disney princesses as role models. I totally love everything Disney & am already planning our trip to Disney in April. At the age of 5.5 years & 2 years old, my daughters really don’t understand what the blog post mentions — that [...]

Two of Everything!
Growing up in a household of my sister & myself, I heard stories of how I would always want my sister’s things. There are Christmas pictures of me playing with a bunch of toys on my sister’s “side” of the tree (apparently her gifts were much more desirable than what I got for Christmas). [...]
To My Hardworking Daddy
Father’s Day is fast approaching, so I wanted to take the time to recognize my girls’ “hardworking daddy.” My oldest daughter, PP, calls Rob her “hardworking and cute daddy.” Well, PP is right, he does work really hard (and is cute). Rob puts in a full work week running around an extremely busy retail store [...]
Bully-Proof your Child
I am fortunate to work for an organization that encourages diversity. One of our employee organizations put together an hour-long discussion on childhood bullying. The purpose of the meeting was to become more aware of bullying and name calling and how it impacts young people, learn how to effectively intervene when your children are perpetrators [...]
5 Candles on the Cake
The big one is about to happen..the Big 5! Sounds funny to say that, but PP has been telling people she was five for about six months now. PP constantly talks about getting bigger and bigger and is so excited to finally be five. It is hard to believe that my tiny (PP was less [...]
Favorite Things-A Look Into A 5-Year Old’s Mind
I trying to limit the amount of time my almost 5-year old can watch TV. So In an effort to offer fun activities outside of TV, I just bought her the game called Pinkalicious Cupcake Party. She actually loves playing (and I have to admit, I do too!). This past weekend I decided an “interview” [...]
