Absent
Published on Friday, May 29, 2009 by caryn Yes..I've been a little absent. It's not because I've wanted to. It's because this tiny, jelly-bean sized baby is taking everything I have. Morning sickness has become all day sickness. Rather than bore you with the details, just know that I'm working as hard as I can to keep in touch with all of you. I read each and every one of your comments and emails.Â...

Mamapedia
Published on Friday, May 29, 2009 by caryn Given my recent bout with amnesia, I figure that a little advice from moms who've "been there, done that" is in order. With the internet being an endless source of information, I sometimes find it difficult to get the answers I'm looking for. Rather than clinical advice, sometimes a mom just needs to be reassured by another, more experienced mother. Thanks to... Read More » -

SinuCleanse
Published on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by caryn I don't know if you remember, but a few weeks ago I was very, very sick with a sinus infection. There used to be a time when I had to see an ENT every month for severe allergies. As I've gotten older, it seems like they're either getting better or I'm learning how to manage them more effectively. Sometimes a product comes at just the right time and such was... Read More » -

First Act Discovery Guitar
Published on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by caryn When I was a little girl, I played the piano. In the beginning, it wasn't something I was particularly fond of (sorry mom!). But as time went on, I came to really enjoy my piano lessons. I still played the piano through college, mostly for fun. I write a lot about music and children because I believe that music has tremendous benefits for children. Some of t...

Bake and Learn With Zebra Mix Baking Mixes
Published on Monday, May 25, 2009 by caryn I love to bake. I grew up baking with my mom and an easy bake oven. Children have this affinity for "grown-up" activities like cleaning, baking, and wearing mommy's shoes! My son is already showing interest in "helping" mommy out in the kitchen! We all know that children like snacks! As hard as I've tried to keep my son far away from cookies and cake...it's ...

Amnesia
Published on Saturday, May 23, 2009 by caryn You may have noticed that posting has been light this week. I apologize. Every time I sit down to write (which is usually when my son is napping or asleep for the night), nausea and fatigue take over, rendering me useless. I find myself asking my husband, my mother, my friend Kristin if I was this nauseous, tired, or ineffective when I was pregnant with my son.Â...

The ToyWrangler by LuvLoo
Published on Saturday, May 23, 2009 by caryn My mom and I were out to lunch this afternoon to celebrate a belated Mother's Day. My son was with us and while he was pretty well-behaved, much of the time was spent picking up toys and other objects he'd thrown on the floor once he was done playing with them. I remember how cute it was when he was a baby and he'd throw everything from his high chair or stroller....

Energizer Family Charger
Published on Saturday, May 23, 2009 by caryn As a mom who's trying to be mindful of the environment, I often think about the toys we purchase for my son. Safey is always a consideration, however, I also think about the educational value of the toy, it's age appropriateness, and whether or not it's going to require batteries. When I was pregnant with my son, I had a lot of aspirations about how I was going to...
