LiLiKiKs: Sportswear for our active girls

My daughter is very active, so I generally dress her (actually, she dresses herself) in comfortable clothes that she can move around freely in.  I’m planning on getting her involved in some activities, something like gymnastics or soccer in the coming months.  Something where she can burn off some of that crazy amount of energy [...]

Those baby blues need Baby Banz

Congratulations to our winner, commenter number 37, Allyson! So many people comment on my 10 month old’s stunning blue eyes, so, I feel the need to protect those baby blues while we’re spending our days outdoors, underneath the hot, glaring sun. I know how bad that beautiful sun can be for our skin and eyes, [...]

Infant Swimming Resource

We are in the midst of Water Safety Month and the official 2010 swimming season is right around the corner, so I feel that this is a very important topic to cover. I just found out about Infant Swimming Resource.  I watched this video and my chest tightened as my eyes welled up with tears.  [...]

Trunki

I just ordered a Trunki for our preschooler.  I heard about this ride-on suitcase a few years ago and really haven’t had a need for one…until now.  I’m kind of giddy about it.  I kind of want to ride it myself, except, I’m a ‘lil too big for it.  Oh well, I’ll live vicariously through [...]

Diggity Kids: Kids can travel in comfort

One of the main things on my mind as we prepare for our trips in and out of the country this summer is “How can I make sure my kids are comfortable?“  Because, an uncomfortable kid is a whiny kid and we don’t want whiny kids to spoil a good time.  Ouch, did I just [...]

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2010

National Geographic is a name that I’ve known and trusted since I was kid. We always turned to our National Geographic magazines for school projects. I have done much research and have cut out many animals from these publications.  It was always so cool to me to have access to information about other places, people [...]

Wow, The Nutcracker is cool!

She sits and watches the ballet DVD in awe of the beautiful ballerinas and then practices her ballet steps along with the students from the NYC Ballet’s School of American Ballet. You can purchase Prima Princessa Presents The [...]
