Published on Thursday, July 12, 2012 by Caryn Bailey No...we're not pregnant! : ) But, I have several friends who are, and in honor of their sweet new babies, I thought I'd share some information about Albertsons baby section! When my kids were just wee babes, I did a lot of my shopping at traditional, designated baby stores, mostly because I wanted to have a lot of options at my disposal. Unfortunately, that a...

Published on Friday, June 8, 2012 by Caryn Bailey This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winner: LaTanya! The person who invented the DVR was absolutely brilliant!

Published on Friday, August 12, 2011 by Caryn Bailey This giveaway is now closed. Congrats Ericka! I'm less than ten pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight (as in before my 4 year old son was born) and while I'm so proud to have gotten this far, I've definitely hit a plateau.

Inglesina’s New Avio Stroller
Published on Sunday, February 13, 2011 by Caryn Bailey My husband and I have owned 3 strollers in the 3+ years since we've become parents. The first stroller we owned was a travel system. I chose the system primarily for the car seat which, at the time, was rated as the safest on the market. Unfortunately that meant settling for a mediocre stroller. When my son was a baby, I won a luxury stroller, retiring the for... Read More » -

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... Read More » -

Postpartum Comfort From Earth Mama Angel Baby
Published on Saturday, March 13, 2010 by Caryn Bailey Having a baby is unlike any other experience. Nothing else on earth compares to the overwhelming joy and intense love that overcomes you. However, the physical act of delivering a baby, regardless of the method, is awkward, painful, and messy. If it weren't for complete and utter amnesia, I may not have endeavored to repeat the experience. When my son was bor... Read More » -

Published on Monday, February 15, 2010 by Caryn Bailey On most days, water is the only beverage I consume. Several years ago, when I was on a weight loss plan, I learned that I could cut a LOT of calories by sticking to water. I'm usually pretty good about sticking to water, but I do get tired of it. And when I'm "over" water, I usually turn to something that's not great for me. Drinking water also sets a good exa... Read More » -

Diva Defined by Annette
Published on Monday, February 1, 2010 by Caryn Bailey It's been six weeks and my body is still hanging on to a lot of baby weight. Unlike so many moms I've spoken to, nursing does not help me lose the baby weight. In fact, it wasn't until after I stopped nursing my son that I started losing those last stubborn pounds. I never imagined I'd be excited about wearing shapewear. But it's something I won't leave the ho... Read More » -

All About Mama: HOTmilk Lingerie
Published on Sunday, January 17, 2010 by Caryn Bailey When I was pregnant with both of my children, I remember people telling me that I glowed. I truly believe that is because I was so happy to be pregnant, (despite the fact that I had some difficulties during both pregnancies) because I didn't feel beautiful at all. I mostly felt big and awkward. Four weeks ago, our baby girl was born...healthy and beautiful and ... Read More » -
