If I told you that I could use plain water and a microfiber cloth to get everything from my son's high chair to our stainless steel refrigerator clean, you'd probably either laugh and think I'm crazy, or lift an eyebrow with intrigue. I hope you're doing the latter! I don'... Read More »

Every spring I try to take inventory of what needs to be cleaned and organized. But do you ever stop to think about the "daily clean?" Dishes and laundry fall into that category for me. We purchased a new dishwasher a few ... Read More »

"Roarrrr" That's what my son said when we opened up Lars the Lion's "can" and took him out. We recently received this super soft and adorable plush animal from Zoocchini and it's my son's new favorite cuddle toy. My son has some stuffed animals but not many because of his allergies. Thankfully, the entire line is BPA and lead-free and the fur is more like ... Read More »

Late last year I won a $500 Walmart gift card. (Thank you Walmart and Merlene). Now, I've been shopping at Walmart for years and I know that they regularly have the lowest prices on most items that I buy. But I think when you've been shopping at a store for so long you stop comparing prices and you hope that you're getting the best deals. Well, I have been waiti... Read More »

Disneyland...it's that magical place where dreams come true. I purchased a season pass earlier this year and attended two mom blogger events courtesy of Disney. I've learned so much over the past several months about Disney and I can't believe that it just keeps getting better. Did you know that Disney offers events for adults as well as children? Starting A... Read More »

It's not too often I get to listen to adult music. I try to ensure that all media (music, television) is geared towards children when my son is with me (which is pretty much all of the time). But there is that 30 minute ... Read More »

I went to the dentist last week for my regular check-up and I was so relieved to hear that I don't have any cavities. In fact, I've never actually had a cavity in my 31 years of life. Both of my parents struggled with dental "problems" and I vowed to take good care of my teeth. I think this is the result of my commitment to brushing twice daily, flossing, vi... Read More »

My son LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine so of course he LOVED Thomas & Friends Live! On Stage: A Circus Comes to Town. We were in San Diego over the weekend and had a wonderful opportunity to see this show, thanks to MomSelect. When we went to exchange the tickets at the box office, my son saw a poster for the show and the entire day he kept telling me how h... Read More »

My son has been watching Baby Einstein DVDs since before he turned 1 (and he's definitely developing appropriately). I know some parents may not agree with having children watch TV until they reach the age of 2, but I've found it to be something enjoyable and educational that my son and I do together. Some life concepts are actually best described by seeing and he... Read More »

I remember how anxious I was to start my son on solid foods as an infant. I don't know why but I was so excited about having him eat "real" food as opposed to just drinking milk. If you watch the video on my sidebar, you'll see how difficult it was to get him to eat those first bites. Not much has changed since then, except that he's feeding himself, eating ... Read More »

My husband and I traveled extensively before we had my son. We immersed ourselves in the Scottish culture and hope one day to bring our son back to the place where we were living when we found out were were pregnant. Our travels have been understandably limited because traveling with an infant and now a toddler is not easy. But one day in the not-so-distant futu... Read More »

I wish I could tell you that I am a neat freak. My husband wishes he could tell you I'm a neat freak. I wasn't even a neat freak before we had my son, so you can imagine how organized (or unorganized) this full-time mom, wife, and nurse is. My in-laws are coming in abou... Read More »
