After posting a picture of my command center in a 1THRIVE Facebook group, I’ve received many comments and private messages from people asking how I make my own calendar magnets.

My new Family Command Center by 1Thrive honestly has to be one of my all-time favorite home organization purchases EVER!! I came across it online and became obsessed! For years I considered getting the Pottery Barn command center, but the style and size just didn’t seem to fit my space – and I just could not justify the price. For me 1Thrive is just such a better fit. I am such a chameleon when it comes to my home decor – I like to switch everything up by season. This center is so modular that I have the ability to quickly and easily switch around the pieces to fit my purposes.   Save ..read more

I can say with all honesty that I think that every household with a small child should invest in a copy of the book What Should Danny Do? In my house, it has become invaluable in teaching my son that actions have consequences. The book is a choose your own adventure with 9 different endings. The main character, Danny, is incredibly relatable for my son Jax. He is an aspiring superhero with dreams of owning a skateboard (something Jax talks about all of the time). As we read the first few pages we found quite a few parallels and Jax was very happy to point them out. At the beginning ..read more

As a Mother, every once in awhile a product comes along that is a complete game-changer. The Claro Baby Shopping Cart Cover certainly falls under this category! I have two sons, my oldest (Jax) is 4 and my little guy (Max) is 7 months old. I intend to use this product for both of my children. They are both apart of the generation that is being coined as the ‘Covid Kids’, it’s a sad new reality where we are as afraid of germs as we are of strangers, where we were abruptly cut off from our friends and family for an entire season, and where face masks block smiling faces. It is a scary tim ..read more

A DIY Dr. Seuss Party My son’s Dr. Seuss first birthday party was one of my favorite DIY parties that I’ve ever thrown. I went all out and made almost all of the decorations myself. I most definitely can not take all of the credit though, I am blessed to have an incredible party planner (The Event Shoppe) as one of my closest friends. She met me before the event and styled everything. It made all of the difference! If you’re in the NY area and need someone – she’s phenomenal. Invitation It all started with the invitation. I found the font Doctor Soos on the website dafont.com, it was per ..read more

When babies start drooling your best bet is to invest in some functional bibs.  When babies reach around three or four months old, they start drooling more often than normal. Some attribute it to the development of the salivary glands, some to the lack of control in the muscles responsible for the act of swallowing, and others attest it to a phase of development where the baby gets everything it needs through its mouth. Whatever the cause, if you have a baby expect a whole lot of slimy drool that will soak a onesie from head to toe if you don’t catch it quickly enough. Drool bibs ar ..read more

Branding is important because it not only lets your audience know what to expect from you, but also because good branding will leave a memorable impression. For an Instagram account that is looking to attract new customers, it is even more important. We all know the saying – You get one chance to make a first impression, this especially applies to the fickle world of social media. A consistent theme will help distinguish you from your competitors and will help you to build an emotional connection with your target audience. How you ask? People like what they know, and are attracted to brands t ..read more

Like so many, the 2020 Quarantine put a damper on my son’s Pre-K curriculum. So many resources and toddler enrichment activities were being circulated but their esthetic wasn’t really speaking to me.
