Happy Sixth Birthday Michael!

The BIG BAD WOLF is back—and funnier (but not scarier) than ever!  A wolf deserves a vacation too! Bernard, the ferociously funny wolf and clever, cookie-munching hero of Delphine Perret's award-winning book, certainly thinks so. So when he learns that his pal Louis is vacationing by the sea with his grandpa, Bernard wants to go too. He promises not to eat any children along the way (he’s a vegetarian). Soon they're off on a wacky road trip complete with car seats filled with cookie crumbs and lots of laughs along the way.  The trip culminates with the perfect day on the beach where the three joyfully race into the sea.  Vacation tips from the big bad wolf: Don’t eat the children (you’ll have no one to play with!) Be kind to Grandma and Grandpa because they buy you ice cream Always use sunblock and sunglasses on the beach (to prevent pre-mature wolf aging!) Try not to get cookie crumbs on the car seat My boys loved The Big Bad Wolf Goes On V...

As a Children's Claritin Mom Crew Member I received samples of product, but was not compensated for my thoughts or personal opinions. My oldest son has suffered from allergies, since he was two. From skin irritation to puffy eyes, we have always sought to "hide," from Spring allergies, but they always seem to find my little guy. I wanted to share the following information, from Claritin about pollen and all the fun things that come along with the Spring fresh air. Wishing each of you relief, and crossing my fingers that your little ones have a mild allergy season, as we count down to Summer. Attacking Allergens: Spotlight on Pollen Just like personalities and preferences, sensitivity to allergens tend to differ from child to child. Since the moms in our group have kids that may react to different types of allergens, we're continuing with our series on some of the most common culprits. Let's take a closer look at the allergen that's most synonymous wi...

The newest Milk Mustache ad features Mike and Sulley from their days as MU coeds sporting the iconic Milk Mustache! MIKE WAZOWSKI Mike Wazowski’s lifelong dream is to become a Scarer at Monsters, Inc.—and he’s sure he knows just how to do it. Ever since he was a young monster, Mike’s had his eye on Monsters University, home of the world’s top Scare Program. Now a freshman and hopeful Scare student, he’s well versed in the rich history, theory and technique required to reach his goal, and the little green one-eyed monster has more confidence, enthusiasm, determination and heart than all of his classmates combined. Mike is so determined to succeed at Monster’s University, he’s even got breakfast down to a science: one bowl of Scary O’s with milk. JAMES P. SULLIVAN—“SULLEY” When it comes to Scaring, Sulley’s a natural—his abundant size, fierce roar and family legacy of a long line of high-achieving Scarers make him a shoo-in for the esteemed Scare Program at Monsters Uni...
