Orchestra, French Fashion for Kids You'll Love!

***Thanks to Orchestra for sponsoring this post so I could share their fabulous line of French fashion for kids with all of you!*** Earlier this week I was invited to check the new Orchestra store at the King of Prussia mall, and I couldn't have had more fun checking out this cool line of French fashion for kids at this hip shop. My only problem? Talking myself out of grabbing nearly every single item! Yup, their duds are that fantastic. What is Orchestra's line of French fashion? This brand's mission is to offer high-quality fashion at affordable prices that won’t break the bank, or ...

4 Ways to Help a Wary Child Learn to Swim

Last year, my neighbors installed an in-ground pool and told my family we could come over to swim any time we wanted. Initially I was excited but then realized I had dropped the ball on teaching my son to swim. At the time my son was 3 years old and other than splashing in the ocean waves, he wasn't comfortable in the water, and he definitely didn't know how to swim. Any time he was in the water, he screamed for my husband or me to hold him. He was fine in a boat or on the shore, but once that water hit his legs, he needed ...

Spring Clean Beauty Products the Right Way!

Our make-up drawers are like little beauty treasure chests filled with colorful palettes, lipsticks, blushes and much, much more. Some of it we don’t even use. Okay…a LOT of it we don’t use. And if you’re like me, you probably even have some of those little sample products swimming around among your go-to items. Let's be honest: you know if you haven’t used a product within the last month, it’s not going to be used. A lot of those products are the walking dead of cosmetics. Still holding on for dear life, but well beyond their prime. So if you happen to ...

Thoughtful Gifts for Encore Teachers

This is my son’s last year in elementary school. He has spent the last 6 years in a wonderful school with some pretty amazing teachers. Although my son and I send in a gift to his main teacher at the end of the year, we haven’t sent in any gifts for his encore teachers! I now realize I have neglected some amazing men and women who have taught my son in his Art, Music, Library, and Gym classes. I’m not sure why it hasn’t occurred to me before this year, maybe because he doesn’t see them as much as his main teacher, but these are ...
