By Ed Garcia Conde Founder, Welcome2TheBronx/Welcome2Melrose This past Saturday, April 26, my nephew Brandon and I had the privilege of heading over to Nintendo World at Rockefeller Center in New York City for a Nintendo 2DS Showcase Event. The event was to give us an opportunity to play Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Mario Golf: World Tour, and Tomodachi Life before they hit the market. Although I’m 39 years old, I’ve been

By: Nicole Perrino We’ve reviewed some great cars so far, but we were very excited to check out a 4×4 and see how it fit a family of four on a budget. In came the 2015 Kia Sorento, just in time for spring break fun. Unlike most breaks from school- this time the kids were off to grandmas for the week and we would have a week full of me

Many of us already knew and loved Idina Menzel, but had no choice to love her even more after an entire winter of Frozen. While it has been fun to sing along to songs from her character Elsa, us adults finally have our own musical from her to enjoy- If/Then. We had the chance to check out the show last week during spring break and to watch her travel two different paths
Last week we had a chance to check out the Honda Fit a few days before the New York International Auto Show opened it’s doors to the public. During the event members of the media had a chance to see just how much the Fit could, well, fit and also to give it a test drive to see how comfortably it drove.

Last Saturday my family and I headed to the new Victory Theater in Times Square for their new show Bello Mania, starring the world famous clown Bello Nock. Before the show Dahlia had the chance to sit down with Bello for a few minutes and ask him some questions that have been on her mind-but not before she got a Bello hairdo! After her interview we browsed the gift shop area, pre ordered snacks for intermission and headed
When Julissa Martinez, owner of Escuelita de Sofia started her Spanish Immersion class for children- she was surprised by how many children of bilingual parents became her students. While many families do great at preserving and passing other other aspects of their culture down to their little ones, some struggle with language.

Kids For the little ones, our favorite shoe ever is Native Shoes. Ever since we attended their launch party years ago, we’ve been huge fans. Natives are perfect for spring and going into summer because they are light, airy, and allow your feet to breath after months of hibernation in socks and boots. Kids love them because they can run around in the park with them, and as summer approaches-
If you mention that you’re throwing a party and need supplies, there’s a huge chance someone will recommend Oriental Trading Company. But a lot of people don’t realize just how much there is to choose from on the site. Many Bronxmama events have included products from OTC, check out some of the things we’ve gotten from there in the past here. This past month a group of fellow NYC bloggers and
