Guiltless Halloween Treats!
Published on Thursday, October 15, 2009 by caryn Am I the only parent who has genuine concerns about the candy hype that surrounds Halloween? And I have to admit that I do feel some guilt about eating giving all that candy away once we're done. Everything in moderation, but an entire bag or bucket full of candy is more than I can swallow. Thanks to Disney FamilyFun Magazine, your children don't have to end up wi...

Ingrid & Isabel’s Maternity Wardro...
Published on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by caryn Some women "do" pregnancy beautifully. You see that sparkle in their eyes, that glow to their countenance... Please don't get me wrong... I am so blessed and honored to be pregnant again with a little girl. And I am sensitive to the fact that many women struggle getting or staying pregnant. But it's hard, especially at 7 months, to feel beautiful. Most days ...

All Things Disney!
Published on Sunday, October 11, 2009 by caryn In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a Disney fan. My parents said they started taking me to Disneyland when I was around 2 (I have the pictures, complete with Mickey Mouse ears as proof!). We have annual passes and the benefit of living in the OC is that we can go for even just a few hours and my son has a blast. The park is just magical...particularly aro...

Handwashing Reminders With The Shandle
Published on Sunday, October 11, 2009 by caryn Now that my son is in preschool, and it's cold and flu season, I'm being stricter about enforcing hand-washing.

Not MY Child!
Published on Saturday, October 10, 2009 by caryn Every parent looks at their child (even if it's for a brief moment) through rose-colored glasses. It seems like my son became a toddler over night. I look at him, while he's sleeping, car in one hand, bear in the other, and think to myself how innocent and precious he is. It's those moments in particular, that assure me that he is and always will be my baby. B...
