I’ve been getting so many comments and questions on my “mermaid” hair. So I finally decided to do a tutorial on how I curl my hair. First of all, I have very fine hair and no volume whatsoever. The first step is always washing my hair and using a volume mouse or root booster. I’ve been really liking the L’Ange root booster. You apply it to the roots and blend it all in. Next I apply a heat protectant spray to make sure my hair doesn’t get damaged. Once my hair is dry( I usually blow dry it or let it air dry if I’m not in a rush), I part it in very thin pieces. I start with the bottom ..read more

May is Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM). As a speech and language pathologist, and now a mom, I want to raise awareness about communication disorders and offer some information for all my followers. I always have other moms ask me whether their child’s communication skills are appropriate or if there is a need for concern. I wanted to take some time and go over basic milestones and provide you all with signs of a communication disorder. As always, every child is different and develops at his or her own pace. However, if certain skills aren’t met by a certain age, it can cause future s ..read more

The sun is out so it’s finally time for some beach fun! Going to the beach with a toddler is a wonderful experience but packing for it is no fun. I am making it easy for you and sharing the essentials you need at the beach. Here is my easy packing guide: Big Beach bag – You may need two if you like to overpack like me.

Life is stressful and there are always things to worry about. Once you have a baby, the stresses and anxiety goes through the roof. The constant worry, fear and feelings of nervousness are part of motherhood but they can easily take over when you have anxiety. After I had my son, my emotions went crazy. I experienced the baby blues, but then anxiety became part of my daily life. Whether it was worrying that the baby is not breathing at night, the stress of sleep-training, the guilt of leaving him alone to go get a massage or the anger and frustration when the baby wouldn’t stop crying – I felt ..read more
