In my three + years of being a mom, I've owned at least 5 diaper bags. Some have been used until they've fallen apart (literally). Others are gathering dust in my closet because they were not practical or functional for toting around everything necessary for a baby and a toddler.
Clic-It is a diaper bag system that makes it easy to organize the things you need fo... Read More »

Neither of my children have been particularly fond of the bottle. However, since this mama has to work, my babies have to take a bottle. When my son was born, I didn't have a lot of BPA-free options. It's been 3 years and I think I would struggle to find a bottle that contains BPA.
When my daughter was born, we tried several different kinds of bottles. In t... Read More »

Despite the fact that I had a very rough pregnancy with my son, I have fond memories of my baby shower. My two very best friends planned the event to the T and went so far as to MAKE diaper cakes for each table!
I always find it difficult to shop for the "mother-to-be."Â Whil... Read More »

We have a beautiful crib sitting in our bedroom that's never been slept in by our daughter. As attachment parents, our children co sleep with us. How long is still the question, since some nights our three year old gets thrown in the mix. My daughter is an excellent nighttime sleeper, but isn't the best at taking naps in the crib or pack and play. She's grown ...

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a meet-up with some local bloggers who were quite surprised that I was there without my daughter in tow. You see, she's usually attached to me. I love, love, love keeping my babies close. My daughter will only be a baby for a short time...she's already mobile...crawling and pulling up. Soon she'll be walking and yearning for i...

When I was pregnant with my son, I struggled to find more than one or two companies offering BPA-free bottles and feeding products. It's been three years, and I don't think I could find a BPA-containing feeding product at Target if I wanted to (which is a good thing). The challenge is now to decide which bottle, sippy cup, feeding set is most fitting for our child...

I love living in our home...the home we purchased with our own money and all of the freedoms that come with it. I can paint my bathroom magenta and get black out curtains if I want (although the hubby would never go for magenta). I can hang pictures of places I dream of visiting and tear out the tile in my kitchen without asking anyone (but the hubby, of course).Â...

In less than a week, we'll be on a plane to New York City! With family in tow, we'll ascend the Empire State Building and hit Broadway (amongst many other things). As I write this post, I am thinking about all of the things we need to pack for two little ones. Fortunately, a portable crib is not one of them. Since my daughter co-sleeps and my son is long out o...

It's funny how much I've learned this time around as a mother to two. Before my son was born, I bought way too many toys, books, clothes, and shoes. There was so much that he didn't use or wear. Fortunately, our family, friends, neighbors, and local charities have benefited ... Read More »

As a mom to two little ones, I've been through my share of baby products. Safety and durability top the list. But style and softness are also important.
Both of my children sleep with lovies and stuffed animals. While my children spend the first part of their life sleep... Read More »

Every night, before my son goes to sleep, we brush teeth, read stories, tuck him in with his bear and his favorite blanket, and kiss him good night. He thrives on that routine, and when it's disrupted, we hear about it.
While some may disagree, I absolutely believe in giving children "security" blankets and toys. My children co-sleep during their early years, a... Read More »

When it comes to my children's safety, there is no compromise. I know the statistics, but it still makes me shudder when I think about the fact that the leading cause of death for children age 3 and older in the United States is motor vehicle accidents (NHTSA). This just shoul... Read More »
