My husband and I hate when our children get dry patches on their skin.  My daughter gets dry patches on her cheeks and chin - a challenge to treat because I don’t like putting body creams on her face.  Lately, we’ve been using the Cream for Extra Crunchy Kids and the Lip Stuff for Crispy [...]

It’s not a fun topic…but lice is an unfortunate part of many children’s lives. I know from my time in the classroom that it happens and it can have a huge impact on kids. Treatment can often be difficult, time-consuming, and scary. I remember having to have my own scalp checked because students I worked [...]

Day 3:
I woke up at a slightly more reasonable 4:30am on day 3, and again, couldn’t fall back to sleep.  Day 3 was really a wrap up day.  We started out with a trip to J&J headquarters.  Our GM driver got incredibly lost on what was essentially a 2 mile drive, couldn’t figure out where [...]

Any parent or grandparent of preschool-aged child knows about Bob, Barney, and Thomas. I have to admit that with Thomas and Bob, my family has become a little too involved in getting the boys as much Thomas and Bob toys as possible…resulting in incredible amounts of trains, tracks, earth movers, and tools. However, new DVDS [...]

If you are a frequent reader of Mom’s Favorite Stuff, you know that we love all things Skip Hop.  Christine and I were excited to learn about their new nursery decor, because the clean, geometric, modern design that Skip Hop embodies is desperately missing in today’s nursery decor.  After viewing and sampling the line first hand, I can state that these [...]

I run but I don’t really consider myself a runner. It’s always been something I do for myself…time to reflect, zone out, and just be. I don’t compete and I don’t keep track. I just run! For me, running gear doesn’t mean style first. It’s means pure grit, ready to take a beating, and comfort. [...]

I send out lots of thank you cards on behalf of my children - primarily for presents they received for special occasions.  I love having little personalized notecards on hand that make the whole process easier.  We recently received some beautiful notecards from by Sarah Tams from the Etsy Store Sarah and Abraham which are both sweet and classy.
The [...]

Aren’t we all trying to find foods for our family that pack the most amount of punch nutritionally? I know I’m always searching for recipes and products that are yummy and healthy. It’s hard and not a simple thing to do. Recently I’ve been cooking up pasta night with Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta. As a [...]

Read the first part of my Camp Baby redux.
Day 2: Sessions!
I woke up super-early (think before 4am) for day 2 and unfortunately could not get back to sleep.  In desperate need of some coffee, I headed down to breakfast right on time, and found the nearest open seat.  I was pleased to be seated right [...]

Have you ever seen a baby clothing item that immediately made you want another baby?  That’s the reaction I (almost) had when I first saw the gorgeous baby kimonos from Westcoast Baby.   These baby kimonos are the sweetest, most elegant design I’ve ever seen! 
We received a chocolate brown kimono with a matching chocolate beanie.  In [...]

Buying green products has become a way of life for many parents, and is certainly not a short lived trend.  Finding all of these products, however, has often been difficult, in that just about anything can be labeled “green” and eco-friendly products are often not available in mass merchandisers.
The online store, buygreen.com, offers a great [...]

Do you have hardwood floors in your home?  We do, and it’s sad to watch our little ones slip and slide on the floor when only wearing their socks.  While we do try to keep their shoes on, my son especially enjoys taking his shoes off.  Some socks do come with non-slip surfaces, but my [...]

Spring is the perfect time to start thinking about upgrading all of your little girl’s ribbons and bows.  My daughter has a closet full of adorable spring dresses just ready for accessorizing - and with her hair getting longer and thicker we’ve needed some new, larger sized bows and clips.
Princess Bow Bow has a huge [...]
