Have you ever opened a cabinet and had a bunch of things flying down at you? This happens to me so much, I ask my toddler not to stand near me when I am opening a cabinet. It sounds funny, but it's really not. While I'm not the best at organization, I don't like clutter or a disorganized home. My husband, on the other hand, places items in a cabinet and quickly closes the door, hoping they won't fall. Not cool... With baby #1, her bottles and ...

Baby Safety Month: What do you look for in a baby monitor?
Peace of mind.. It's what every parent wants when it comes to the safety of their child. When my first baby was an infant, she slept in my room, right next to me, and I STILL woke up every hour to check on her. With so many sad SIDS stories, and the fear of something going wrong at night, I had a hard time taking my infant out of my room. When she was 6 months old, I finally felt that she could be moved to her crib. I watched her each night from ...
Simplify your life with the right appliance!
My hubby always makes fun of me when I rave about appliances I love. He says "that's such a MOM answer- maybe I can get you a vacuum for Christmas!" What he doesn't realize is that yes, as a mom, appliances ARE important. They simplify my life. The right vacuum makes cleaning up easy. The perfect dishwasher will save me a backache from leaning over a sink. The best washer and dryer will save us money and clean clothes effectively. Appliances are ...
Baptism Invitations by Tiny Prints
It seems that the little things happen so fast. I was pregnant, had my little girl, celebrated her birth and shared her announcements, and now I'm planning her Christening. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do- I love butterflies, but it will be in the fall, so autumn butterflies? I have so much to do: lose the rest of this baby weight, get a dress for myself and my tot, book entertainment, and order centerpieces. One thing is a no-brainer: ...
Back to School with HP!
Last weekend marked the end of summer, back to the old grind of hitting the books, making sure pencils are sharpened, and ink tanks are filled. My hubby and I are no exception. With college classes starting earlier than younger grades, we are back to routine before anyone else. We know too well what procrastination does; you know, when you are suppose to hand in a paper tomorrow but waited until now to print it, only to find out that you ran out ...
Back to School with Masterlock!
I'm sure you are not surprised to hear that theft happens in a majority of schools nationwide. Most middle and high school students are required to bring a lock for their locker to minimize theft and keep their items protected. Teachers aren't exempt from this, and many times they also need a reliable lock to safeguard their property. My husband is required to have a lock to keep his items safe in his classroom, so he needed a reliable lock for ...
SleepSafe Tips for Baby + HALO SleepSack Giveaway!
September is Baby Safety Month! I think that parents generally try to exercise safety at all times with their children, but it is nice to have a month where safety precautions can be shared and parents can learn tips that would ensure the safety of their child. One of my biggest fears when I had my oldest daughter was SIDS. I heard so much about it and even had a friend who's relative died at a young age from SIDS. There are so many theories and ...
Safe Play Time with CUBIKALS {Giveaway}
Keeping baby safe isn't only for sleep time or travel time, it is also during PLAY TIME! Now that I have an infant that is becoming more mobile by the minute and insists on tasting everything, I am more conscious about which toys my toddler plays with. Toys for older children tend to have smaller parts which make them a choking hazard., so I tend to be wary when purchasing these types of toys. While my toddler is 3 years more advanced than my ...
