Babywearing 101
Published on Thursday, May 20, 2010 by caryn While I'm not overt about it, I definitely consider myself an attachment parent. If you're not certain what that means, I wrote a post about it this week over at Orange County Moms Blog. One of the principles of attachment parenting is to use nurturing touch. And one of the ways I do this is through babywearing. Babywearing is easier than it sounds and provid... Read More » -

Budget Conscious and Fashion Savvy
Published on Sunday, May 16, 2010 by caryn I recently talked about how little shopping I do for myself these days. Mostly it's because I'd rather buy clothing for my kids than myself. When I actually do get around to it, I think I do it quite well. Before I had kids, I'd consistently pick out the most expensive items. However, I would also find the best deals. This week TwitterMoms is asking for our... Read More » -

Jones New York Launches J Jones
Published on Sunday, May 16, 2010 by caryn I vaguely remember the last time I went clothes shopping for myself (shopping for maternity/nursing clothes does not count!). One of the reasons why I don't often shop for myself is that I'd rather spend that money on my sweet babies. The other reason is my much anticipated, impending weight loss (it's coming...I know it!). I told my hubby not to let me buy clothe... Read More » -

And up until I became pregnant with my daughter, it was highlighted (all that remains are some roots in desperate need of a touch up). So now that I'm 4 months post partum, I'm starting to shed all of that excess hair that accumulated during my pregnancy. Which leaves me wondering...should I purchase hair care... Read More » -

Better Oats…Really!
Published on Thursday, May 13, 2010 by caryn Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. While I would like to eat pancakes, waffles, and omelets all day, I don't. Instead I opt for oatmeal or cereal, eggs, and fruit. Oatmeal is high in soluble fiber, which has been shown to help lower blood cholesterol when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol (American Heart Association). Consu...
