Family Time Fun

One of my favorite things to do is to spend time with my family. My husband, my daughter and I always try to find places to go and things to do that the whole family will enjoy. There are so many wonderful activities and events going on around town, especially during the summertime, that it's very easy to do.

If you're looking for a fun family time activity, check out Wave Hill's Family Art Project. Spend time with the family, experience the beauty of the garden and take an afternoon to create items inspired by nature.

Family Art Projects, take place at Wave Hill in the Bronx, on weekends year round but try to catch some of the events during the summer months so you can enjoy the full experience of being in nature.

Moms are Divas Too!

Hey Moms, I just have to tell you about this great site that I found out about last week! Divas N Babes is an online boutique that understands that moms want to be divas too!

They have clothing that's fun, expressive, make you look good and feel great all at the same time!

Their collection features beautiful slings, tee shirts for moms and shirts for the littles one too!

As a stay-at-home mom or a work-at-home mom, not really sure which yet, I don't have to explain myself anymore. Divas N Babes has a tee I am at work that says it all for me! Finally a company that understands!

All moms will enjoy shopping at this "mom friendly" online boutique!

Oh, did I mention they're having a sale, so hurry and pick up a few things!

I'll be ordering my favorite tee soon!

Happy Shopping!

Pamper Yourself

As moms we are always looking for ways to have some down time and take time out to relax a bit. We think about going to the Spa and having a few hours of indulgence.

Moms will enjoy getting a Spa treatment or two during Spa Week! Why you ask? Well during Spa Week, Spa Treatments are only $50! That's right, only $50!

So, go out and treat yourself, You deserve it! But Hurry Spa Week runs from April 16-22 so don't delay!

My family and I enjoy watching this show, especially since my daughter is in Kindergarten! --Roxanne
