How to Get Your Kiddo Ready For Preschool
How to Get Ready for Preschool
Summer heat is cranked up to eleven here in New York, but that doesn’t mean fall—and the Back to School season that goes along with it—isn’t right around the corner! The thing that’s always frustrated me is that every year, we hear so much about sending our little ones back to school (obviously important!) but really not much about sending them off for the very first time.… Read the rest
Does Your Little One Need Special Baby Water?
Special Baby Water?
I was recently in a big-boxish store—not naming names, here, because I think they may all be guilty of the same crime—and saw a mom stocking up on baby water. If you’re finding yourself wondering, “What is baby water?!,” I’m sure you’re not alone, since the product likely didn’t even exist when our generation was born.… Read the rest
Can We Stop Slamming Kim Kardashian’s Mom Skills?
Stop Slamming Kim Kardashian’s Mom Skills
I was doing some late-night online reading the other night and came across a post on Jezebel that said Kim Kardashian had hired a personal trainer for North West. I’ve heard some pretty out-there requests from both my pregnant and new mom clients, but having a personal trainer for a teensy tiny one like North West seemed a bit outrageous even to me.… Read the rest

Make Sure Your Child Care Provider Is Licensed
Make Sure Your Child Care Provider is Licensed
Something horrible happened recently here in New York City, and I wasn’t sure at first how to address it, or even if I should, because it was so horrifying to me. At first, I thought it would be easier to just try to put it out of my mind, but then I realized the only way I might be able to help prevent such a tragedy from happening again was to share the story with you and spread the word about the things you must look for in a child care provider—yes, even if that person is your own mother or your best friend.… Read the rest

The One Beauty Product to Buy Before Giving Birth
The One Beauty Product to Buy Before Giving Birth
Having had four babes of my own, I know first hand how hard it is to keep it together during those first couple weeks with baby. You’ve got spit up on your shirt, you haven’t slept more than a couple hours (maybe!) since before giving birth, and even if you had the luxury of spare time—which you don’t, of course—you’re too exhausted and likely in too much pain still if you had a C-section to even consider washing your hair.… Read the rest
