About Me: I'm a busy momma to a very active two year old named Cooper. Geri (currently ranked 6th) is my mother in law. She is enjoying the shared reveiws and I am also, when I get the chance to hop on. My husband and I are moving to Texas in a few weeks and he will start a teaching career in the Fall. We are sad to leave our family and home in NY, but we needed to move where we can afford a house and allow me to stay home with another baby...when we decide to do that.
I am going back to school in the fall and will become a Pre-K - 4 teacher and I can't wait.
Life is busy....but we are happy. Things are going well for us, for the first time in a while.....LIFE IS GOOD.
My husband and I went to the Ceasars Poconos Resort Cove Haven location for our second anniversary adn we had the most romantic trip. The resort is lovely and you feel like you are living in the high life the whole time you are there. The resort can me very expensive, but we stayed in one of the more affordable rooms and even that was very well done and over the tops with extras. Our balcony overlooked the woods and was very private. Our room had a king sized round bed that was under a lighted and mirrored ceiling. The glass enclosed shower ...
I have searched high and low for the perfect baby backpack carrier, and now I found it. This backpack carrier from Evenflo is a dream come true. I have horrible back pain and this is the only one I have tried that distributes the weight across my back and not in one place. My son who is almost two and very big for his age fits nicely inside the backpack and enjoys watching people as we go on walks or out to a family hiking location. There is a great amount of padding and the shoulder straps provide much needed support. There is a convenient ...
I purchased this yoga workout dvd when trying to get pregnant with my first child. I was having some infertility issues and I knew stress could play a big role in that. I was also looking to keep off the 25 pounds I had just lost! This workout is challanging and a great way to relieve some stress. The presenter, Brenda Strong has a calming voice and is very good at explaining the different yoga positions and what they mean. Like most workout videos this one moves pretty fast and you have to really work at keeping up. My sister is a yoga teac...
I can't say enough good things about banking with USAA federal Savings Bank! My husband and I have used USAA for all of our savings and investment accounts and last year we decided to also switch our checking account to them. The customer service and convenience is superb and rivals anything we have experienced in the past. My favorite feature is the Deposit at Home convenience. All you need is a scanner and you can deposit your checks right from home and the amount shows up within seconds! This is the most amazing thing and ...
This toy has some major issues that make it less than perfect. The mirror on the side is distorted so baby can not get a clear image when looking in it. The stack and dump button does not always work and sometimes the blocks fall out even before you hot the lever. This is very frustrating for a baby who is trying so hard to do it himself. This toy is on the expensive side and I expected more for my money. We were not impressed with this toy and ended up selling it to buy an activity table for my son instead. I like the idea of a plasti...
I am a nanny for a little boy and he recieved this activity cube for Christmas. My son and him are having a blast playing with it. There are four different sides, all with various activities. The construction of the toy is wood and metal, both of which will stand up to hard use. There are all sorts of animales on the toy that capture the attention of a little child. The only complaint I have is the beads and animales can be difficult for little hands to move. The top of the toy is crowded and it seems a little hard for my son and the other c...
This ride on toys is one of the best on the market. Fisher Price really knows what they are doing when it comes to the Little People ride on School Bus! There is a nifty steering column that moves the wheels side to side and a really cool storage compartment under the seat that your children will love hiding things in! These two features are what set it apart from other ride on toys. There are also some really neat sounds that are made when you push different buttons. There are bus sounds as well as a really cute song "the wheels ...
In this age of toys with all kinds of electronic gadgets it's nice to find a simple toy! Our son loves to play with this push n go Thomas train. All you do is push the train conductor down and the train rides across the floor. The construction of the toy is hard plastic that is both durable and easy to clean. We have had this toy for over two years now and it has never broken or had anything wrong with it. Even though it has a very simple design my son loves to play with it and it keeps his attention just as well as other toys that have ...
Why spend a bunch of money on clothes you only wear for nine months? That is the question I asked myself when I was first pregnant. Thank goodness I found Sonoma maternity clothes at Kohls. The prices were great and the quality is top notch. Sonoma makes maternity clothes that are in style and up to date. No frumpy maternity clothes from them! I found everything I needed from pants, to dresses, even under garments. Sonoma has a huge selection of sizes and fits. My Sonoma maternity clothes were my favorites and I have even saved some to wear ...
When I was planning my wedding my Bridesmaids and I were looking for the perfect dresses. I was impressed with a picture of an Alfred Angelo Bridesmaid dress I had seen in a magazine so we went to a local store to look at them. I was so dissapointed with the dresses for many reasons. The fabric looked cheap and the color was horrible. The girls tried them on anyways just to see. The dresses were the most ill fitting things I have ever seen. The quality was non existant and the design was flawed. The sides puckered out and the color of the fa...
My son's friend got this Tonka Tow Truck for Christmas and they both love it and enjoy playing with it. The truck is large enough for little hands which is a nice feature. It's made out of durable plastic that can withstand hard play and outdoor conditions as well. The neatest feature of this truck is the pull down tow rig that talks and say "Hey buddy, hook me up". The boys pull it over and over to hear that cute phrase. There is a nice sized hook where you can latch on other toys and have to toy truck say "I did it&q...
The Fisher Price Gymnastic Zebra Bounce toy is a great toy, but there are a few flaws. My son is only 20 months old and almost too big for this toy. It says up to 36 months, but I can't imagine a three year old would still fit on this toy. The base is wide and heavy, but that prevents the zebra from tipping over. My son does enjoy to bounce and spin on this toy. The sounds it makes are cute and entertaining. Overall this is a unique toy and holds the interest of my son. I wish Fisher Price would make this same toy, but a little taller so...
I know it won't work for everyone who takes it, but it worked for me. Clomid was prescribed to me when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries and was told I would not be able to get pregnant without medical intervention. I was started at 50mg for five days and that did not help. My doctor then added an additional 50mg for a total of 100mg for five day. The 100mg dosage worked for me and I ovulated and became pregnant with my son. I am so grateful for modern medicine and this drug. I know many women who have become pregnant using cl...
I just got this stroller and I love it. The compact fold is a major plus factor! It comes with a carry bag that is small enough the fit in the overhead compartment on an airplane. The Zapp fits in tight spaces and has great maneuverability. The Quinny Zapp is light weight and portable. It will fit in even the smallest car trunk. I think the only drawback to this amazing stroller is the tiny basket under the stroller and the fact that there is no cupholder for the parent. I have tried many strollers and this is one of the best. The Zapp is un...
We did tons of research before we bought my son's first potty chair. He was showing interest in potty training and we wanted to buy the right product. A lot of the potty chairs on the market have lots of silly songs and light features. We didn't want my son to associate potty time with play time so we went with the boring white plastic Baby Bjorn potty chair. The only cute feature is the little bear and Baby Bjorn logo on the front. It is simple and perfect. There is a high backrest which is important for when my son needs to go &quo...
I purchased this set of building blocks for my son and his sister. I was impressed with the variety of blocks and the colors. The hard plastic is also great for wiping the toys down with cleaning wipes. The thing that disturbes me most about these blocks is the fact that they don't stay together when the kids are building things. I understand that you would want to make them easy to put together and take apart, but they fall apart at the slightest touch and messes up whatever tower or creation my kids have made. They then get very upset ...
Now that I'm a mom I love to keep my hands clean and to keep germs off of my children's hands as well. Purell makes the best antibacterial hand sanitizer out there. I keep the easy to use pumps all over my house. We have one in each room. Unlike other hand sanitizers, Purell will not dry out your skin. We live in a cold climate and I have naturally dry skin and Purell in so gentle it doesn't hurt my skin in any way. Purell has added vitamin E which helps makes the texture smooth and not sticky. I even carry the little mini sized ...

" Littlest Pet Shop Digital Pet Cat"
This newest Littlest Pet Shop toy has greatly improved over the previous version. Now you can take your "pet" to many different locations and do various activities and games. There are three push buttons that control the feeding and grooming of your little pet. The pets evn go and use the bathroom, which most kids will think is just too funny. As a mom I like this toy and think it's a neat invention. Every little girl wanted this toy for Christmas and I have heard only good things from other moms. Hasbro has hit a market gem wi...

"Avent ISIS Breast Pump...so easy!"
The Avent ISIS breast pump is so easy to use, even for a first time mother. I like that this pump is gentle and not as harsh as the electic pumps on the market. It is a hand pump that you control how fast it goes. The pump itself is lightweight and easy to transport. I found it easy to wash and assemble and dissasemble as needed. The silicone pump horn is so comfortable and never pinches your breast. There are great instructions and simple tips to help the mother that is breastfeeding for the first time. I love that the Avent bottles can att...
I was excited when I first bought this camera. The fact that it was compact enough to fit in my pocket is a big bonus for me. I also love the feature that it uses AA batteries and I use rechargables so it saves even more money! The one thing about this camera that drives me nuts is the slowness or lag that occurs when you hit the button to take a picture. It's hard enough to get your childs attention and then get them to smile, but this camera makes it near impossible to capture that split second because it takes forever to take the pict...
