With an aquarium, seaport filled with history, and other fun attractions nearby, there’s plenty of options to fill your itinerary with.

By Dalilah Smith-Santos Have your kids been bitten by the “Broadway Bug”? My daughter sure has been (Lord help my bank account), so you can imagine our excitement when BronxMama was invited to join The Moms for a special preview of Tuck Everlasting The Musical last week.

Laundry mat? What laundry mat? Okay, maybe for the bigger stuff- but we are so happy about our chance to review the Samsung Baby Care Washer! This is New York, and having a washing machine in your apartment is not always a given, so the opportunity to have a small washing machine in the house is great!

Last Thursday night the Santos family “assembled” (hee hee, I couldn’t help myself) along with the Avengers for the action packed opening night of the Marvel Universe LIVE! tour kicking off at IZOD center in New Jersey and enjoyed some yummy food and pre-show activities for the kids. SO MUCH FUN!!! Dahlia got to channel her inner “Black-Widow” as she threw on some boxing gloves and beat down a few “villains” , before showing off her archery skills. We
