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 [...]
Mechatar Interactive CleverRobot: Review and Giveaway

It is a well documented fact that no one over the age of 8 is capable of learning the trading card games Pokemon, Yugioh, or any of the other ones either. It must be a biological imperative: if you are not a kid – especially a boy – between the ages of 7 and 12, [...]
End the Bad Weather Blues with an Endless Ocean Giveaway
Posted in giveaway, Shopping, tagged Endless Ocean, giveaway, sucky weather, Wii on February 25, 2010 | 142 Comments »
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. [...]
Book Giveaway: See Mom Run

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 [...]
Jillian Michaels Giveaway!

I met Jillian Michaels about ten days ago at a publicity event run by my friends at Role Mommy. She was talking about her newest Wii Fit game, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010. (coming out Tuesday on Wii and at the end of the month for DSi.) She was funny, charming, and so incredibly rrrrrripped [...]
Blankie Giveaway

Not too long ago, I wrote about how this summer, my kids both gave up their blankies. In a flash of — well, either genius or idiocy, depending on your point of view — hubby and I decided to give the twins security blankets, rather than pacifiers. No teeth problems, no plastic sucking, no need [...]
23andMe DNA Testing Kit Giveaway
Posted in 23andMe, Family, tagged 23andMe, giveaway, Win a DNA Testing Kit on June 25, 2009 | 35 Comments »
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been writing a bit (!) about 23andMe for the past few months. I’ve contemplated the difference between my jeans and my genes, I’ve wondered why my family (who all have kits) won’t spit, I’ve worried about how much to share, how much info is too much. But mostly, [...]

I’ve been back from my 23andMe super-secret-special-project extravaganza trip for some time now. I’ve been basking in the glory that was four days away from household chores, drop-off, pick up, and frigid temperatures. I did miss my kids and hubby, tis true, but it was a small price to pay for a little solitude, a [...]
