Buppa La Paloo was created by Dee Wallace (yes the mom from ET!), BuppaLaPaloo is a teddy bear that teaches children strong, powerful, and fun statements to reinforce how special they really are with the press of one of its paws! It also offers the opportunity for the parent or child to record something special of their own on the other paw.  You can check out how it works here

The interactive toy works with a press of a paw.  A positive, empowering message is delivered from one paw, and it offers the opportunity for the parent or child to record something special of their own on the other paw! BuppaLaPaloo will help children learn to feel empowered and full of love! Liam recorded a message to Caleb and he played it all day long. “You are my favorite brother and I love you!”

Family Pizza Night #RusticCrust

Posted on

We know it can be a challenge getting kids to eat a nutritional dinner and keeping them entertained. Pizza night takes care of both these things when I babysit my grandchildren.

Rustic Crust, the maker of organic and all-natural pizza crusts and sauce makes family pizza night easy and fun. I let the kids help with the pizza making. I preheat oven to 425 reduce to 425 and place pizza on center rack for 8- 12 minutes. When kids help with dinner they are sure to eat it up. My job is done here 🙂

We talked about it, talked about it and finally it happened. I am talking about getting together with the girlfriends we went to high school with. We went to the Girls Club with. Grew up with and yes got in trouble with too. We picked a date and then we picked a place. A quiet place called De Mole  Oh, it was quiet until we walked in!!

Add a couple of pitchers of white Sangria and a few bowls of guacamole and let the laughter begin.

These are the beautiful women we grew up on the east side of Manhattan. We played together, went to school together and hung out together growing up. Sometimes we got in trouble together.  Most of all we had a wonderful childhood together.

Naturally we got louder and louder as the evening went on. Honestly I think we were very entertaining and no one seemed to be bother by the laughter and the screaming. Yes, I said screaming 🙂

The food and drink were great. But the best thing of the evening was the company. Happiness was remembering days gone by with these beautiful women and hearing their voices telling our story. We understand each other.

There are different kinds of love in this world, but there is only one love which is so strong, that is friend’s love which lasts forever.  We all have families and obligations but we promised to  keep in touch and get together again in the New Year. Thankful and blessed to call you friend.
