There isn’t much in life as exciting as our own history. Of course, there is definitely room for fiction. I’ve always enjoyed reading books and watching movies and documentaries about our history, as does my husband. We’d love for our children to love it as much. Unfortunately, I remember finding much of the movies or television [...]

As a new mom, I was crazy about making sure I used only the most gentle products on and around my baby. I stocked up on Dreft laundry detergent and separated the baby clothes from all the other laundry for months. And when it was time to start feeding my baby solid food, I bought [...]

Do you remember those little books from the Mr. Men and Little Miss Series? Mr. Happy, Little Miss Sunshine, and Mr. Messy were a few of my favorites. Well, just last week, The Cartoon Network has premeired a new animated sketch comedy series based on the books…“The Mr. Men Show.” The show includes 2 11-minute episodes featuring funny skits [...]

Finding a toy that parents and children can play with together - and both enjoy - can be challenging.  Adult board games are boring or complicated for children, while kid’s games can certainly get monotonous.  However, I think the creators of the Q-BA-MAZE have really hit the mark with their ingenious little construction toy!
The Q-BA-MAZE [...]

Getting my stylish little preschooler to wear a hat on cold days is often a challenge.  Boring, store bought hats don’t usually interest her.  But, as a mom, I really want her to be nice and warm.  We recently received a hat from Love Bug Knits, and she was so excited with it that she [...]

Yaya Blankets are made from 100% super soft minky chenille.  They are made “rag” style, similar to how a rag blanket is made, and [...]

One nursing item is often overlooked by moms…nursing bras. Nursing Mother Supplies has a great selection.  I admit with my oldest son I tried to find bras that were…well, cheap. I felt like it [...]

I remember the days of holding my baby’s bottle for him as he drank.  While it was sweet, I longed for the days where he could hold his own bottle while sitting at his high chair or strolling along on a walk.  Somehow, it seemed as if that would be so much easier.  What I [...]

I don’t know about you, but I celebrated each and every one of my daughter’s baby teeth as they came in. Each tooth was a little milestone in her mouth. So when she recently told me that her bottom tooth felt loose, I was excited but also overwhelmed. Was it possible that my baby girl [...]
