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 [...]

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 [...]

After the birth of my second child, I had a difficult time keeping track of all of our medicine doses.  I’d had a c-section, so I had a few different pills to take, plus Prednisone for PUPPPS which didn’t go away after the birth.  In addition, my son was also on antibiotics for a medical [...]

When I brought my baby for her first pediatrician appointment after she was born, I was truly amazed at the amount of paperwork and records that we needed to maintain.  It was even worse with my son, who had several small medical complications which required multiple doctors visits at different offices.

Well, down where I live, Summertime is quickly approaching and it’s time to get out those swimsuits. As a family, we love the water, whether it be at the beach or in a pool, we love to swim, splash, dive, float, whatever! Unfortunately, there is always that fear that something just might happen in the [...]

Any mom of two little ones knows how difficult it can be to keep one child near your car as you load the other one into the car seat.  My daughter, who usually is very good at listening, often runs across our driveway when something catches her eye.
The Parking Pal Magnet was invented in 2006 [...]

From the moment I brought my daughter home from the hospital, I was worried about her care.  It seemed hard to believe that just one newborn care class prepared me for caring for another life.  When it came time for my husband and me to leave our daughter with a caregiver, I insisted that it [...]

If you’re like me, you weren’t in the habit of using sunscreen (unless heading to the beach) before having children. Now that I have little men with sensitive skin, I want to keep them safe from the sun. Now a trip to the park or just a walk around the neighborhood involves slathering on sunblock. This [...]

It’s that time of year…when we all want to be with our family and friends celebrating the holidays. Before I had my monkeys, I thought traveling was difficult. I really had no idea! With two little guys and all of their necessary equipment, I’m stressed to the max on how we’re going to survive our [...]

I’m one of those people who completely overloads my bag - I have stuff in there that I’ll never need. In fact, I don’t even know half of what’s in there. But one thing I keep in my bag at all times that I frequently pull out is my first aid kit. A lot of [...]
