One of the most confusing aspects about bringing baby home is how to feed your baby. Even if you are exclusively breastfeeding, you may decide to introduce a bottle at some point - then comes the "nipple confusion" issues which can be very stressful for the new, postpartum mommy. Although my daughter was exclusively breastfed, I knew that eventually she would need to take a bottle because I had to return to work. It took three different ...

Britax Boulevard 70 Review
When I was pregnant, the first item I put on my registry was a Britax Boulevard. I knew that the name stood for safety and durability, as well as many years of use. I knew that this one car seat was safe enough to bring my newborn baby girl home in, and versatile to last throughout her baby years. Holding from 5-70 pounds, and up to 49 inches, this is the only car seat we will need until she is in a booster. Why Britax? BRITAX has been at the ...

AboutOne Digital Filing Storage (FREE Trial & Giveaway!)
I recently overheard my husband explaining what a "cloud" is (in reference to internet and stored data). How did I miss this one? I'm the techie in the family and I never thought about storing my data in this magical cloud that he referred to. What happens when your computer crashes, or worse - your basement floods taking down important documents you had stored in filing cubbies? This happened to us and it was a mess. We lost medical files, ...
Starbucks Bistro Review
My hubby and I have a weekend ritual which started with a holiday gift from a student when I was teaching. Almost 2 years ago, I received a Starbucks gift card. I usually make my coffee at home, and my hubby prefers a Greek Frappe (or rather, French) as opposed to "American Coffee" so we rarely purchase coffee. One morning, we were in a rush to leave the house and didn't get a chance to make coffee or grab breakfast - so we decided to use the ...
TRACFONE
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. We are living in a world where to get good cell phone service, you need to enter a contract with a company. There are very few comapnies that offer no-contract service, but they aren't often used. I never really thought about it until my friend decided to trade in her old company for a TRACFONE. I initially thought she was crazy, until I ...
Happy Baby Foods
Finding the perfect baby food among the sea of jarred foods is difficult, especially when you take into account the pesticides and chemicals that go into your baby's meals, plus the packaging hazard of glass jarred foods. Despite working as a teacher full time, taking grad classes, and exclusively breastfeeding my infant, I decided to make her homemade baby food. I know - you must be thinking - with all she had to do, and with all the options ...
