#SmilingItForward Children’s Tylenol TweetUp Event + What I Wore
What I Wore: Top: Victoria’s Secret (similar); Black pleated skirt; Stella & Dot jewelry; Studded Gladiator Sandals
Yesterday, I was invited to attend a fabulous Tweet-Up event hosted by Children’s Tylenol located on the rooftop of the Hudson Terrace NYC located at 621 West 46th Street. Among the sea of beautiful bloggers were moms like me, who were vying to ask the well renowned pediatrician and author of Mommy Calls: Dr. Tanya Answers Parents’ Top 101 Questions About Babies and Toddlers, Dr. Tanya (@DrMommyCalls) our kids health concerns. But before Dr. Tanya started her Q&A, we were able to indulge in some delish refreshments, lunch and yummy dessert.

Sippin’ on the Hudson Terrace signature drink, Fall Apple Cider – YUM!
Red Velvet goodies and Macaroons – another YUM!
After hamming it up for the prop photo booth with new blogger friend Pamela over at A Little Glitter, we were introduced to The Children’s Health Fund and of their amazing health care resources, especially of their mobile clinics aka “doctor on wheels”. These mobile clinics are readily available in New York City outside of shelters and schools where children have little to no health care.

After a brief tour of the mobile unit, we were then brought back inside to begin the Q&A with Dr. Tanya Altman. She answered everything from cold & flu season to how to handle a biting toddler (um, that was my question).
All in all, for cold & flu:
1. Keep your kids from touching their faces. Germs are usually in our hands and when it goes to the face, that’s how germs spread
2. Get flu vaccinated. The flu mist is mostly popular amongst kids. If you have trouble remembering when to get vaccinated, mark your calendars the week of Halloween.
3. Download the must have mom app: Kid’s Wellness Tracker. Its tracks your Tylenol dosages and children’s vaccinations. This is a great resource for on the go moms.
Me and the Dr. Tanya….if she lived nearby I would be calling her everyday about raising boys..um she’s expiating baby boy #3 (congrats!)

7 Reason Why Ever Mom Should Network
Most recently I attended a blogger event and after attending several of these events, you could say that networking has become an art to me. But that being said, that was never the case pre-blogging. Call me “the shy one” or the “one that preferred to observe”, I always felt threatened or never smart enough to engage in conversations in a group setting, saying something that didn’t matter always made me shy aware from meeting new people. But that all changed the moment I became a mom and a blogger. The power of networking has not only been beneficial to building relationship for me and my kids, but has gained me the confidence needed to become a “mompreneur”.
If you want to become more effective at connecting with people, consider these seven habits that I have learned along the way:
Beauty Blogger Bash at Benefit Boutique + What I Wore #Westchester
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of mingling with fellow bloggers at an event hosted by Erin and Shawna of Emma Westchester at Benefit Boutique in Rye, NY. It was a great fete of not only meeting fellow female bloggers/entrepeuneurs, but also fellow locals from my neck of the woods – Westchester, NY.
While we indulged in brow and beauty services, delish biscotti treats were provided by food blogger ChefTini and beverages courtesy of Emma Westchester.
Complimentary makeup, brow and beauty services where available on hand and boy oh boy was I in desperate need of brow services.
The makeup artist on hand touched up my makeup and once I saw her magic, I couldn’t resist the urge to buy this and this from Benefit Cosmetics, which I was told was their hottest and greatest product to date.
And ladies, I swear by threading. I have had some botched jobs when it comes to brow tweezing, plucking and waxing, so when I discovered the artistry of threading I haven’t looked back. Threading gives your eyebrows a clean and defined shape. Soon I hope my eyebrows can look like this.
Personal chef and Posh Mom Of The Week, Ivete Maymi, posed with me for the cameras.
While never taking myself seriously I hammed it up for the cameras.
Overall, it was a great evening with a great bunch of ladies taking the time to acknowledge each others hard work and promised that this a prelude to more events to come.

My Week In Review – Photos
You guys, Summer is here! Not sure how that happened so quickly, but I bet time is going to continue to fly by now that it’s summer. No complaints here! Ready for a recap of my summer so far? Let’s start with some snapshots from my girls weekend in Atlantic City and nothing says girls weekend without an assortment of Koffi’s Jell-O Bar.
The World Championship of Sand Castling happened to have been taking place during that weekend and it was indeed remarkable. So if you heading to AC this summer be sure to add these Top 9 Things To Do In AC:
- Enjoy a White House Submarine Sandwich – you will not believe it!
- Tour the Revel Casino Resort and specifically the “Sky Garden”.
- Take the Atlantic City Helicopter Tour, departs from the rear of the Steel Pier, #1 Bucket List Activity!
- Check Out H2O at the Golden Nugget in the evening or for the Sunset, #1 rated sunset location in town.
- Make reservations and dine at “Chef Vola” an exclusive homemade Italian restaurant at 111 S Albion Place.
- Experience the Quarter at the Tropicana a restaurant, nightlife and entertainment hub of the city.
- Take a Dolphin Watching Tour in Gardners Basin on Atlantic City Cruises “Cruisn 1″. Then see the rest of the waterfront area.
- Stop by Fralingers Salt Water Taffy or James Candy on the boardwalk for a tour of their plant and how to make Salt Water Taffy.
- Visit and take a tour of the “Worlds Largest Pipe Organ” at Historic Boardwalk Hall. You will not believe this, I guarantee it.
After my weekend with the girls I came back to hugs and kisses from the fam and enjoyed some fun in the sun…If you are the East Coast make sure that Westchester is on your list of places to visit. This time of year Mamaroneck Harbor Island is fun for the entire family. This is the perfect place to meet friends and schedule playdates. While gabbing it up with the ladies your little ones are playing in the sand or running around in the sprinkler park. This was indeed the perfect way to end the weekend just before my oldest heads into summer camp.
I also joined forces with The Junior League of Central Westchester and of Bronxville and took in a complimentary class at Soul Cycle in Bronxville. I am not a spinner at all so when I showed up up for my class I was indeed intimidated, but guess what, I LOVED IT! So be check back this week for my full review on my Soul Cycle experience.
And there you have it folks..that’s my week in review..what have you guys been up to??
