Every mom that I know suffers from some level of sleep deprivation.  The eight hours of sleep we were able to get so easily before kids is now disrupted with middle of the night wake ups and early morning wake ups, not to mention just a complete lack of time.  Sleep, for most parents, is [...]

Both of my kids love cuddling up to stuffed animals, and I’m always on the lookout for some adorable, soft, cuddly, and realistic looking toys.  We received two stuffed animals from Douglas Cuddle Toys, a Camilla Yorkie for my son and a Diamond Pegasus for my daughter.
The Camilla Yorkie is a great sized plush animal [...]

As a mommy, I don’t always wear the most stylish clothes, opting instead for practicality.  So, when an item of clothing is both stylish and practical, I am all over it!  When I received the BECKONS Organics Love Yoga Skirt, it was love at first wear.
BECKONS Organics offers beautiful, organic, practical clothing for women on [...]

I usually like to make my own baby food since it’s cheaper and I like that I can control exactly what goes in – or stays out – of my little one’s mouth. But occasionally due to traveling or busyness, I need a pre-made food I can rely on. So I went to my local [...]

I love snacking! It doesn’t matter if it’s a healthy snack of berries or yogurt or a bunch of Oreos and chocolate, I need something to get me through the afternoon. It always surprises me that my sons are not so excited by snacks. We’ve tried all sorts of things…whether it be fruit, crackers, cheese, [...]

I used to be addicted to sofa - I loved the sugary taste and the carbonation.  Since I really don’t like to consume artificial sweeteners, I drank the non-diet version, and eventually switched over to water.  While I still enjoy drinking plain water, on some days I look for a little more flavor.
I heard about [...]

With two little boys, constantly into everything, it always seems to be bath time. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that in the last two days, we’ve had bath time at least 5 times. There’s just no end to the messes. Whether it’s getting dirty in the sand box, sticky from bug spray, tacky from sun [...]

My daughter has really enjoyed picking up some new words in Spanish that her preschool teacher has taught her.  I’ve wanted to find a way to augment her learning with some more fun ways to introduce Spanish, so we were happy to test out and review the Volumes 1 & 2 Teaching Children Spanish DVDs [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, the introduction of any new Wiggles DVD is a huge deal at our home.  The latest release, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, is already a classic in our home.  My son and daughter have requested to watch it at least 50 times in the last few weeks.
You Make Me Feel [...]

Anyone who has had more than one child understands how important it is for the older children to feel involved in the birth of the new child.  As the mom of two kids, I often purchase sibling gifts for the older ones for when I visit the baby.  It’s just a small way to let [...]

When I was pregnant, I was happy to celebrate my pregnancy - especially once I started showing! Pregnancy t-shirts are a great way to show everyone that you have a little one on the way. We love the pregnancy tee shirts by B.U.M.P. (Baby Under Mom’s Protection).
B.U.M.P. tees are manufactured in the USA, and [...]

My kids spend their summers outside, which means I have to be concerned with sun protection constantly.  We use sunscreen, but I also like for them to have sun hats.  For my daughter to want to keep her sun hat on, she has to love it.  Both she and I love her stroller lid from [...]

My guys have never been over-interested in their clothes. I always chuckle when I hear how my niece chooses her clothes or refuses to wear a particular pair of pants or shirt. My oldest son just never showed much interest in what I chose for him….that is, until he received an Andy & Bella tee. [...]
