Christmas is here! I’ve gotten a few questions from amigos asking what toys I would recommend since Toys R’ Us is no longer around (for now). Also, since I work at TTPM which is the go-to place for parents to read and watch reviews of all the newest and hottest toys, I’ve got hands-on experience to many toys. With that I curated a list in Amazon Shop for you to…
The day has come and gone! Another family Halloween theme under our belt. I was super excited for this year’s theme, which I picked out. I know, I know, how mean of a mother could I be to not allow my children to pick what they want to dress up as. I’ll get to that in a minute… Last year, we were the Justice League and before the day even…
Mom’s Night Out with Bloggers There’s nothing better when you get a break from the everyday mom routine and get to have a mom’s night out. Thanks to the fabulous Nicole from Mom Trends, Parents Magazine and Parents Latina, I was invited out to mix and mingle with fellow bloggers and a few brands. If you read an older blog of mine, “Becoming a Blogger”, I gave some tips in…
Disney’s Frozen on Broadway Giveaway Frozen drink anyone? Or maybe Frozen on Broadway with a frozen drink? Last week I was able to see Frozen thanks to Petite Seat! It was a girls night, a night to enjoy the theatre without the most important princess of them all, Ziana Eliz (my daughter if you’re not a weekly watcher.) Ziana was not happy that she didn’t get to see it– watch…
*This post is sponsored is sponsored by Scholastic** Love letter to my daughter, Ziana Eliz, my 6-year-old pain in my ‘head’. When I first got pregnant, I had no idea the amount of work it would be. Besides keeping your kid alive, there was so much more beyond that – you want to raise a good human being. If you know Ziana from watching our Youtube channel you know she…
Target Back-to-School Giveaway Season Annnnnnnd back-to-school is here, I also have a first grader y’all. I’m officially a mother of a 2-year-old and first grader. I still don’t believe I’m a mom sometimes, has it really been 6 years since Ziana Eliz was cut out of me?

I’ve partnered with @JohnsonsBaby for this Travel Must Haves post. School is almost over here in the east-coast which only means that it’s time to start thinking about travel, if you haven’t already. We have a few places planned like Splish Splash, Sesame Place, hopefully Philly, and of course months of playing with the beach waves. As much as I love traveling, I can’t stand to pack! I’m packing for…
*Best Inclusive Family Resort: Woodloch was sponsored. All opinions are my own. thatsBetsyV blogs* Before I met my boyfriend I don’t think I ever made my way to Pennsylvania. What could possibly be there? Of course, being together for 7 years I’ve learned, well, there’s plenty to do up there. One place that came up numerous times during our relationship is how much he enjoyed working at Woodloch as a…
Getting your child into the world of acting or modeling is no easy task. There are thousands of reputable agencies, just like there are thousands of scam agencies. You must always be mindful of what to look for and with years of experience one of the most important things I learned was to follow my instincts.
