Modern Baby Product Guide: Personalized Alph...
Published on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 by Caryn Bailey 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...

Published on Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Caryn Bailey This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Shirley. Congrats! 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 ...

Modern Baby Product Guide: Issie by aden + a...
Published on Friday, July 9, 2010 by Caryn Bailey 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 » -

Modern Baby Product Guide: Organic Baby Cloth...
Published on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 by Caryn Bailey As an eco-minded mom, I try to purchase organic, local, sustainable foods and products. But what doesn't immediately come to mind is to shop for organic clothing. Cotton contains 25% of the world's pesticides, many of which are "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human carcinogens (Environmental Protection Agency). When I think about the fact that over ...

Published on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 by Caryn Bailey True mom confession: My children don't spend nearly enough time on the floor as babies. I worry about germs, safety, and comfort. My son had an activity gym we picked up at a Consignment Sale that didn't hold up long enough for my daughter to use. It wasn't until she started rolling over that I realized I probably needed to get a Playmat that would be approp...

Modern Baby Product Guide: MAM
Published on Monday, June 21, 2010 by Caryn Bailey When my son was born, three years ago, there were very few options with regards to BPA-free plastic bottles, sippy cups, and teethers. I had two choices, and in some ways that made the decision easy (presuming he would take those bottles). It's amazing how much has changed in those three short years. This time around, the choices were numerous. I had my choic...

A Healthy Start
Published on Monday, June 7, 2010 by Caryn Bailey After a brief visit with our Pediatrician, we finally decided to feed our little girl for the first time tonight. It wasn't until after we were done that I decided I probably should have video taped it. Or at least photographed it. Tomorrow will be a "do over." I absolutely adore that time in a baby's life when they're just learning to eat. Every meal is sett... Read More » -

Celebrity Style for Modern Moms
Published on Sunday, May 23, 2010 by Caryn Bailey When I was was pregnant with my son, I had no idea which car seat was safest, which baby carrier was most user-friendly and which stroller topped the list for being sturdy and stylish. And what about the necessities v. the niceties? Or when to splurge v. when to save? Because I spent my first trimester overseas and my last two trimesters on bedrest, all of my re...

Published on Thursday, April 22, 2010 by Caryn Bailey When I think about going green, I don't immediately think about the clothing my family wears. But cotton, the textile that a majority of our clothing is derived from, is considered one of the dirtiest crops due to it's heavy use of insecticides, the most hazardous pesticide to human health (Organic Trade Association). Did you know that cotton uses approximately 25...

Toddler Meals From Greenie Tots
Published on Thursday, March 25, 2010 by Caryn Bailey When my son was a baby, my goal was to make all of his baby food. I never imagined he wouldn't actually eat what I made him. Cooking for a toddler is even more challenging than preparing baby food. He's 2 1/2 and very assertive about what he does and doesn't like. Both my husband and I strive to provide homecooked meals, but there are times when I just want ea...

Celebrity Baby Style: Little Giraffe
Published on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by Caryn Bailey My son co-slept with us for almost a year and a half before we both realized that he needed more space. Because we waited so long, the transition was (and still is at times) rough. It took a lot of patience and creativity to finally get to the point where he sleeps in his toddler bed on most days. It also took a lovey, something we introduced when we were attempti...
