Bel Bambini Celebrates the Grand Opening of I...
Published on Sunday, March 18, 2012 by caryn My youngest recently turned two, signifying the end of the "baby" era...an era that has been bittersweet. I spent half of it wondering when it would get easier and the other half praying time would just stand still. But alas, unless something miraculous were to happen, my husband and I are pretty certain our cozy family of four is complete. That's not to say that ... Read More » -

Stylish and Germ Free With Infantino’s ...
Published on Sunday, March 6, 2011 by caryn Last week, MSNBC reported that researchers from the University of Arizona identified E.coli amongst a host of other bacteria on shopping carts. I am honestly not surprised. Despite the number of times I wash and antibac my children's hands, they're still carrying around a number of microorganisms they've picked up from toys, doorknobs, and other surfaces they come...

Whimsical, Timeless Childrenswear by Ralph La...
Published on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by caryn One year ago, I could be found lying in a hospital bed, curled up with my baby girl. It's hard to believe that she's now an almost walking, babbling, bundle of joy. I dreamed of having a daughter as a little girl. Back then, I was preoccupied with the dresses and bows, rather than the actual responsibility of being a parent. While dressing my daughter up is just a... Read More » -

How to Keep a Healthy Nursery
Published on Wednesday, July 7, 2010 by caryn When it comes to germs, I tend to be a bit neurotic. I carry hand sanitizer with me in my purse and we're always washing our hands if we're near running water. I attribute the fact that we rarely get sick to my paranoia cleanliness. As a nurse, and an eco-minded mom, I strive to find a balance between being healthy and germ-free. While I avoid toxic cleaners ... Read More » -

Published on Friday, June 25, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Melissa P. Congrats! 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 » -

Baby Looney Tunes Happily Healthy – Week 6 ...
Published on Monday, June 14, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Linda K. Congrats. Don't you just love feeding babies? We just started our little girl on solids and I think we've enjoyed it more than she has. When my son was a baby, we attempted (unsuccessfully) to make his baby food. Perhaps if I would have followed Dra. Aliza's advice I may have been more ... Read More » -

Safe, Soothing Sleep with SootheTIME
Published on Friday, June 11, 2010 by caryn I've never been particularly forthright about the fact that I'm an attachment parent. But I am. And as radical as that may sound, it's really not much different than traditional parenting. Yes, we co-sleep and nurse and discipline with love. But I guarantee that my children will not always sleep with us (my son is the perfect example of a former co-sleeper), n... Read More » -

All About Baby: minui Handysitt
Published on Thursday, January 21, 2010 by caryn I never imagined the baby and toddler stuff would consume our home. Despite the fact that I told everyone not to buy us much more than a few outfits, we've still managed to accumulate a lot of gear...gear that takes up a lot of space in our home. I've tried to eliminate the duplicates and utilize smaller, space-saving options when possible. When my son was a ba... Read More » -

All About Baby: Dozy Dolphin On The Go by Cl...
Published on Monday, January 18, 2010 by caryn When my son was a baby, he had a lot of fussy moments. He didn't sleep through the night until I stopped breastfeeding (at almost 15 months) and to this day he still wakes up every now and then. I tried most things people suggested...routines and schedules, books, etc. But I was determined not to let him cry it out, so my husband and I had our share of sleepless... Read More » -

All About Baby: Sassy
Published on Thursday, January 14, 2010 by caryn I don't remember when I started buying toys for my son. I'm certain my baby shower resulted in books, stuffed animals, and other eye candy for babies. Play is vital for learning and development in children, and choosing the appropriate toys can be challenging. Sassy, a company dedicated to offering developmental toys for babies, works with child development exper... Read More » -

Formula: Store v. National Name Brands
Published on Saturday, January 9, 2010 by caryn I'm sitting here on my bed as my 3 week old baby girl nurses and my toddler winds down for bed. My son breastfed for almost 15 months, and my goal is to at least nurse my daughter for 12 months. I want to start this post by stating that in almost every situation, I prefer breast milk over formula. It's not that I'm opposed to formula. Both of my children have had ... Read More » -

Now I Lay Him Down To Sleep…
Published on Thursday, December 3, 2009 by caryn On some nights, you'll find my son, tucked securely between my husband and I. He's two and a half, and while he does manage to sleep in his toddler bed most nights, sometimes he wants to be close to mommy and daddy. I co-slept with my son for about a year and a half (some may say that's too much) and if I had my way, he'd still be in our bed. Co-sleeping helped ... Read More » -

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.... Read More »
