Simplisse Breast Pump and Breast Care Product...
Published on Sunday, February 28, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Wendy (#49)! Disclaimer: This post contains information about breastfeeding. I will be completely honest in admitting that when I was offered the opportunity to review a manual breast pump, I was hesitant. After all, I use a double electric breast pump...how could it compare? Would it be fast enough? (I have an impati... Read More » -

A Giveaway To Keep Your Baby Dry!
Published on Sunday, February 28, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Kristy (#58)! My son and my daughter are 2 1/2 years apart (almost to the day). Now that may seem like a decent amount of spacing in between the two children, but in many ways my son is still a baby. There are times when he asserts his independence, vocalizes his thoughts and feelings, and acts like he's very "grown up" (f... Read More » -

Published on Saturday, February 27, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Judy B (#60)! So it's week number three of my "test drive" and I'm converted. I really only use my old phone to make calls because I haven't imported all of my numbers from my old phone into the Palm Pre Plus. I don't know if I mentioned this in previous posts, but we are not Verizon subscribers. Not yet. But we are s... Read More » -

Published on Friday, February 26, 2010 by caryn Last night was the opening night of Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in sunny California! We had an opportunity to attend their media preview night on Wednesday, and I have to say that seeing it again was just as breathtaking and heart stopping as the first time.

Bloom’s Alma Crib
Published on Thursday, February 25, 2010 by caryn As a mom who believes in attachment parenting, it feels very unnatural to have our baby sleep in a separate room, away from us. My ideal situation would be to have our daughter sleep in her own space, close to us, just as our son did (surprisingly, the room in our old apartment was just large enough to fit his crib). For now, she's sleeping in our bed, as our room... Read More » -

Making A Family Home
Published on Thursday, February 25, 2010 by caryn I have fond memories of my childhood home. I grew up as an only child and we lived very simply. While my mom (who is still my best friend) and I played at the beach and shopped at the mall together, we spent a lot of time at home. I remember playing Barbies and reading stories. I remember our family dinners and weekend get togethers with extended family. It... Read More » -

Easy Room Decor With Graphique de France
Published on Thursday, February 25, 2010 by caryn A little over a year ago, after spending many years as apartment dwellers, my husband and I bought our very first home. It was so freeing to be able to personalize the decor in our home, from the paint on the walls to the carpet we installed. My husband and our parents painted the entire 2-story home (impressive right?). We chose unconventional colors like deep ... Read More » -

Fisher Price’s Rock n Play Sleeper
Published on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 by caryn For the last several weeks, we've suspected that our baby girl has reflux. The colic, reflux and slow weight gain confirm that this is likely why she's been fussy and uncomfortable. One of the things are Pediatrician told us to do was have her upright as much as possible. Because we co-sleep, it's been a challenge to figure out a good way to do that while juggli... Read More » -

And because he is so active, he needs a supportive pair of shoes. Last fall, I introduced you to Umi Shoes. The company makes quality children's shoes, "designed with children's feet in mind." Their shoes are made from the high... Read More » -

Published on Monday, February 22, 2010 by caryn It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. Leo F. Buscaglia Play with me...I love those three little words that my son says over and over again each day. Kids need to play..plain and simple. It's a vital aspect of their development. A l...

Bumble Bee’s Tonno in Olive Oil
Published on Monday, February 22, 2010 by caryn Because I'm a bit of a healthy nut (just ask my husband), I tend to be very particular and purposeful about the foods I purchase. That's not to say that I won't indulge every now and then. But for the most part, I stick to all-natural foods. I don't eat beef, pork, or any type of dark meat (i.e. poultry) so I'm a bit limited as far as my sources of protein. I ... Read More » -

Published on Saturday, February 20, 2010 by caryn I just passed the 8 week post-partum/post-c section mark and am ready to get serious about getting my pre-pregnancy body back (at least some version of it). I've used (and continue to use) body shapers to help provide additional support and give my body some grace as it returns back to a version of it's former self.
