By: Carolina Pichardo When I think about Radio City Music Hall, I revisit the Alicia Keys' concert, Bette Midler stories and MTV scenes. As for my daughter, she remembers the Backyardigans, Dora the Explorer, and of course – the Rockettes. For thousands of kids in New York City (without their own fireplace and chimneys to look up through), this is it for the holidays. Since seeing the Christmas

By: Carolina Pichardo These last couple of days have been fantastic! Thank you all for your continued support and beautiful pictures! We've been amazed at the creative, innovative costumes that parents and kids have put together.

It's a great tool to sharpen those problem-solving skills that are so important! According to several studies, the

By: Carolina Pichardo It was our first conference. We'll admit that we were hesitant at first... What with the sponsorship problems, questions of whether or not the show was still relevant, etc. But regardless of this, we decided to go. What better way to pop the cherry than with BlogHer 2010?
