Easter is one of the most darling holidays, isn’t it?  And we love to celebrate it BIG-I’m talking non-stop for weeks!  (if you follow our IG stories, you saw it ALL!)  And if you know us, you know that’s expected.  ‘Cuz we LOVE a good party and any excuse to celebrate!!  But in New York City, attending an Easter egg hunt oftentimes means fighting the crowds, getting trampled on and kids crying because they haven’t found enough eggs.  So this year, we wanted to host an EGG-clusive egg hunt for our followers while partnering up with some of our favorite Manhattan mom-owned companies!  Thanks to The Craft Studio for being our fabulous hosting venue and providing all the crafts and super-fun staff!  Thanks to Katie from Manhattan Dance Lab with whom this party planning all started!  She is my daughter’s semi-private dance teacher and I knew I’d want to promote her services and party offerings in this fun, and memorable setting!  B Lee Events (Brandy and Lisa) really came through for us as our event production partner and dessert bar sponsor.  We couldn’t have done it without any of these fabulous mom-owned brands.  And we’re so egg-cited to share the fun details!

Our followers from Fab Kids, this blog and the community partied with one another and the Easter bunny who was available for photos and dancing! There were so many adorable kiddos…so many that we sold out the place and even had a waitlist.  (So sorry for those that tried getting tickets the day of… next time please purchase early so you can make sure to reserve your coveted spot as sometimes our events DO sell out!!)

All kids were greeted and welcomed by the Easter bunny and given a spring-y glitter tattoo of their choice. While waiting for all the guests to arrive, early arrivals got to craft a tissue paper corsage and enjoy some treats and snacks provided by B Lee Events.

I’m so thankful that they perfectly matched the color scheme I planned out (knowing I’d be using my pink blue and yellow party decor leftover from Juliet’s HOP-py 3rd (bunny-themed) birthday party.  But this is what you can expect when working with professional planners.  They get ALL the details exactly right!  Here I am setting up before guests arrived.  pro-tip.  Use a rolling suitcase to transport all your party items!

Note if you don’t already have Easter or bunny decor, but have leftover balloons use those! I blew some up using only a tiny bit of air to replicate eggs in each of the picket fence centerpieces (which held florals and sponge brushes).  And additionals were washi-taped with different patterns to create oversized Easter eggs at our step and repeat.

The kids enjoyed crafting their trays with modge podge and tissue paper – something easy to do for all little hands!

Katie from Manhattan Dance Lab led a bunny hop, movement and dance segment which was SO fun for all ages.

And afterwards, everyone hunted for eggs.  There were SOO many good hiding spots at the Craft Studio!  pro tip – always keep a bunch to the side to later (sneakily) hide by the kids who didn’t find enough eggs.

Baby Magic Announces Brand News with Breakfast, Bunnies and Blooms in NYC

motherhood, mommy and me, baby magic, baby products

As a mom, you lean on brands that your you, yourself, and your mom have known and trusted when choosing products for your baby.  And Baby Magic is one of those brands that has been a mainstay in so many families from generation to generation.  That classic pink bottle and uniquely soothing scent brings nostalgia to so many including myself.  So when I was invited to a special blogger event hosted by Baby Magic, I was happy to attend and learn more about their latest offerings.

                                                                                                                 nyc bloggers, nyc blogger moms, mom bloggers, nyc mom bloggers, momtrends event  Here are my 3 takeaways about Baby Magic’s brand expansion and its biggest evolution in 65 years:
  1.  Baby Magic is embracing the ever-growing parental consciousness about the ingredients in baby products.  In response to parents’ needs and desires, they’ve reformulated their products to exclude sulfates, mineral oils, dyes, parabens, phthalates, talc, and lanolin.  Parents will love their gentle, safe, skin-loving ingredients while still being able to rely on the same quality and care that Baby Magic has always been known for.  baby magic event, baby magic press, baby magic pr, nyc bloggers, baby magic review
  2. The enhanced formulation now comes in 3 popular scents!  There’s original baby, sweet buttercup and lavender lullaby.  I know so many parents who love the original baby lotion scent so much that they regularly use it on themselves, not just their kids.  Would you?  To celebrate the launch of the new scents, Baby Magic’s event had us use lavender while learning to arrange our own floral bouquets! Lavender as you may know helps lull little ones to sleep and what parent couldn’t use a little help with the bedtime routine??
  3. There’s a new look and feel featuring a new brand mascot and a new brand ambassador!  I was expecting to see lots of pink at this event remembering their classic pink bottle but their new bottles are white as you can see (which I love even more) and the new lineup features an adorable bunny!  So at their event, we all got to cuddle some real live bunnies while catching up with one another over breakfast.                       baby magic lotion, momtrends event, nyc bloggers, nyc blogger moms, blogger event Also newly associated with the brand is Carolynne Harvey, sleep expert and author of Dream Baby Nights.  Carolynne will be working with the brand to share her advice on providing quality sleep, care and comfort for babies.  She is available for media activations and parenting expos featuring Baby Magic and I couldn’t help but ask her for tips and tricks on sleep training my HUSBAND haha.  Because sometimes it’s not the little babies but the bigger babies that give us the most challenges with regards to bedtime routines, and differing views on sleep needs.  The struggle is real.   Can anyone relate with me on this one??                                                                                                                                             dream baby nights, sleep expert, baby magic event, baby magic, baby magic pr, baby magic lotion, mom blogger, nyc mom bloggers

All in all, it was a wonderful event!  I learned so much about all that Baby Magic has to offer.  If you want to learn more about the brand and its new product click through their website here!  And if you want to see more from this event, click DowntownChicMom’s event recap here!
