I reviewed Robeez shoes for babies several posts ago.  However, once your child starts taking a few steps and is walking outside, you will probably be looking for some sturdier shoes.  Most new walkers don’t really do well with hard soled shoes, as they still need to curl their toes and feet to walk.  So, [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves my son’s tush. However, I would still like to keep it tucked in his pants. Unfortunately, his lack of a bottom makes that pretty hard. That is, until we found Myself Belts. I LOVE these belts. They are cute, easy to use, and reasonably priced. There [...]

I have mentioned in past entries that I just love diaper bags and handbags. And, when I purchase them, I like to receive them quickly and with great service. That’s why one of my favorite shopping sites is www.bebecandy.com. Anne, the owner, not only has amazing taste, she also understands what it is like to [...]

Until you are changing a baby on the floor of a place that doesn’t have a diaper changing station (but for some reason often have high chairs - leading you to think they are child-friendly!), it’s hard to understand the need for a large round changing pad.  But, once you place your precious baby on [...]

As avid readers, my husband and I really wanted to nurture a love of books in our son. I couldn’t help but want him to love all of the books I loved as a child. That’s why I ordered Scholastic’s Dr. Seuss & His Friends: Beginning Readers Program. At first, we received some of the standards…”Green [...]

After having my second child, I was really looking for a workout that would help me get my body back in shape, without doing more damage (as I had heard crunches can do).  I read about the BeFit Mom fitness program, so I went online and checked out the site (http://www.befitmom.com/).  It is so informative in [...]

I love catalogs and I love to “window shop” but, when I find a great buy, I just have to hop on it. One of my favorite catalog and online sites to order from is Lillian Vernon. When I was shopping for toys for play therapy and then later on, for my son, I knew [...]

Once you have your baby, you’ll realize that everyone will want to have lots of pictures.  I was very busy those first few weeks, but all of my relatives wanted copies of pictures to show their friends.  I had taken lots of pictures, but didn’t really have much time to get them printed up.  I [...]

If you are an expectant mom, you’ve probably been told that you will likely be up at night nursing your baby, at least for a few months.  Until you actually experience it, it’s very hard to understand what this experience is like.  Being awake when everyone else in the country is asleep is definitely strange.  [...]

In the weeks leading up to the birth of my second child, I was preparing my home.  I knew that I was having a c-section, therefore I wouldn’t really want to be climbing stairs.  I also remembered changing A LOT of diapers for my first child, so I knew that was something I’d be spending [...]

Ok, I will admit that I have had A LOT of diaper bags.  Sometimes, I haven’t exactly found what I’m looking for, or in other cases, a bag is perfect for one occasion and not for another.  So, how should you go about choosing a new diaper bag?
First of all, you will need to think [...]

When I was originally registering for baby products, I read that I needed a diaper pail.  Ok, being totally honest here, I had never changed a diaper until my own children were born.  So, I was pretty lost in this category.  I made my decision based purely on economics - the Diaper Genie required me [...]

After the birth of my first child, I wanted some mom jewelry with my baby’s birthstone.  However, I also knew that I was going to have at least one other child, so I really didn’t want something that was permanent.  I needed something that I could add on to, something that would be available in all [...]

As you approach impending motherhood, what is more enjoyable then imagining playing with your little one. Nurturing him or her to develop those skills that will help them become the “strongest, smartest, and happiest” child is just part of your job. Right? My first thought was that I needed props. Of course, after a few weeks, [...]

Prior to the birth of my second child, I heard about the Miracle Blanket.  I decided to purchase two blankets, so that I could keep one as a backup, but chose to keep the blankets in the packaging in case I didn’t need them.  The price does seem a bit steep for a blanket, but [...]
