So here’s the thing about living in Manhattan: It’s culture filled and exciting. It has great shopping and even better food. It’s never boring, it sometimes smells. It’s where my family has lived since the late 19th century. And it’s an island, which means that if there’s an emergency here, well, we’re kind of stuck. [...]

If I need a gift for a toddler, or a first or second grader, I head on over the The Toy Insider, because I know they don’t just list a bunch of toys, these people research and test and try and can rattle off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of any toy on the market. [...]
Giveaway: Pillow Pet and Pillow Pet DS Game
Posted in giveaway, tagged contest, giveaway, kidzvuz, KidzVuz.com, Nintendo DS, Pet, pillowpet, Stuffed toy, Twitter on November 18, 2011 | 15 Comments »
Everybody loves Pillow Pets. They’re pillows, they’re stuffed animals. They are, it seems, universally loved. Personally, I don’t get it. To me, they’re neither really stuffed animals, nor quite real pillows. But hey, that’s why I invented KidzVuz, so kids could tell us what they love — even when their parents don’t get it. And [...]

Congratulations are in order. Because I have accomplished the impossible. I now weigh what I weighed when I returned home from the hospital after giving birth to twins ten years ago. Yes, it’s true. What it took nine months and two actual human being growing inside of my body to accomplish, I’ve managed to do [...]

I am looking out my window right now and perhaps the only word that comes to mind is “YUCK!” Or something that rhymes with yuck, that I won’t type, this being a family-centered site and all. But seriously — it’s not even snowing. It’s SLUSHING. And I don’t care if that’s a word or not. [...]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if two hyphenated last namers got married? Like, let’s say Harrison VonHarrison-Lundquist married Muffy Worcester-Wolfe. (All names are completely fabricated. If anyone out there has either of those names, I’m sorry…in so many ways.) Would they name their children Maximillian and Genevieve VonHarrisonlundquist-Worcesterwolfe??? Notice the last names I’ve [...]

First of all, let me tell you: you guys like your sweets. I asked you to write a comment with your worst holiday indulgence and I think I gained ten pounds just reading them.

(With the possible exception of birthdays. After forty, the only way through a birthday is with spoon [...]
