That dreaded word: recalls. After having a baby I get that pain in the pit of my stomach when I hear that there was a new recall from a major company. Some recalls seem silly to me, while others are very serious. When I purchased my daughter's crib, about 3 years ago, I didn't realize that the side of the crib didn't drop down. I felt so stupid for not looking into this and going ahead with such a big purchase. I blamed it on pregnancy brain and ...

Love the Moment in Virginia Beach this Summer #momsloveabeach
My hubby and I have been trying to figure out where we are going to vacation this summer. We want to stay "local" as in wherever we go we cannot fly because we will have an infant with us. Last year we took a trip with my toddler that was about 4 hours away and it was great. We planned a group trip with two other couples and their kids.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Frangelico delights!
What mom doesn't want to unwind at the end of the day? I, for one, know all about wanting to have a minute to myself to relax (not that I have actually experienced it, but the thought is nice! In a perfect world, dinner would be on the table at 5, the kids would be bathed by 7 and in bed by 8. I would get two hours before my own bed time to relax and maybe sip on a glass of wine or a yummy cocktail. This isn't a perfect world, and my toddler's ...
Safely Bathing an Infant (Sure Comfort Newborn to Toddler Tub Giveaway!)
There are some baby items that you get and a few weeks or months pass and you wonder what possessed you to make that purchase. Then it just sits in a corner collecting dust until you find a pregnant friend to pawn it off on. I can tell you I have had MANY of these products, including bath time "essentials" that ended up in the garbage for harboring mold. The only bathtub I actually used and loved was The First Years Sure Comfort Newborn to ...

Little Mommy Day in NYC
What perfect way to spend Mother's Day than with the person (or people) who made you a mommy in the first place? When I was invited to attend the Little Mommy Party hosted by Mattel and featuring Little Mommy Dolls, I was actually a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to make it. Being 9 months pregnant limits my activities with my toddler, but as the date grew closer and I was still very pregnant, I decided to attend the event and ...
