A few days ago I made my very short list of New Year’s resolutions. It turns out I’m not alone when it comes to including your pets in hopes for the new year. Halo, Purely for Pets, recently surveyed more than 1,000 pet owners and 88.7% plan to help their pets get more exercise. Here’s […]
Making and following New Year’s resolutions
I can’t remember a time when I made New Year’s resolutions. I’m a big list maker, but for some reason I never got into making resolutions each January. Although this year it might be a little different. I want to make a list of things I hope to do in the new year, rather than […]
To wrap or not to wrap?
My daughter is 16-months old and I am super jazzed for Christmas. Just about anything excites her at this point, so it’s going to be really fun watching her with her new toys. I’m having an internal debate about whether or not to wrap her presents. My mom has been doing the 12 days of […]
Keep your pets happy and safe while traveling
With the holidays here, many people are planning on traveling to visit loved ones. And if you’re like me, you probably want to take your furry friend with you. But, sometimes you can’t, and finding a pet care service you can trust can be a challenge. “Our pets are like family and the last thing […]
Traveling with a toddler around the holidays
Today is the second time we’ve taken little Miss Chloe to NYC since she was born, and even though there’s been a year in between the two times, it’s still a struggle. She was 3 months old last November when we went, and she is almost 16 months old now. We have just as much […]
Santa’s Hideout: New twist on timeless tradition
I’m so excited to be sharing this news today! I and many others have been keeping it a secret for a few months and today is the day to unveil it! Several moms and I have been busy little elves working with Condé Nast as part of a mom advisory board for the project, and […]
Countdown to Christmas: My list of must-see movies
I’ve held out as long as I’ve could. The season of Christmas is my favorite time of year. Besides, the sights and smells, I also love to watch Christmas movies. I have my favorites, but I’m a sucker for any movie that comes on TV and has a Christmas theme. Last night my husband and […]
What are you getting your pet for Christmas?
It turns out that no matter how tough the economy is people are still willing to pamper their pets. A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press shows that pet owners plan to spend an average of $46 on their furry friends this year. That’s up $5 from last year! Toys and treats are topping […]
Report: TV under 2 is dangerous…so why do we let them watch?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released a report that says plopping children under two in front of a television screen is a no-no. Not shocking, but a little surprising. Being a mom of a 14-month-old I’m very conscious about how much ‘screen time’ is around Chloé. That also includes a show I may […]
Costume obsessed
I wonder if it’s because I’m a new mom? But, over the weekend I purchased my 4th Halloween costume for Chloe. She is only 14 months old and we have gone through multiple ones. The problem is, I keep buying everything online, so it either doesn’t fit, or isn’t what I was looking for. My […]
Halloween costumes for your pet
A recent Savers Halloween Shopping Survey actually found dog costumes are growing in popularity. Pet owners expect to spend $59 on average to costume their four-legged family member. This is more than they expect to spend on themselves or their kids’ costumes! Since we are less than two weeks away from Halloween, some of you […]
