I really think that blowing your nose should be an innate response. How are you suppose to clean a child's nose when they have no knowledge on how to blow their boogies out? Some people swear by those snot sucker bulb syringes, but my little girl would move around so much that I was more worried about hurting her neck in the process, so I would give up. I know that as soft as some tissues are, when you have a cold and you are continually rubbing ...

Potty Training Resolutions
Maybe I'm the wrong person to be making this resolution, but I resolve to have my toddler potty trained before her 3rd birthday. I'm not too sure what ideas she has in mind, but I'm hoping at some point we will be on the same page with this whole potty training business. When she was 17 months, she started showing me signs of being ready to use the potty so we took out her potty chair and started the process. After a few poops and pees in the ...
Start the New Year Off Right (With Ice Cream!) #weightwatchers
Now is the time to start following through with those resolutions you've been planning! Many of my friends and relatives, my hubby included, have decided that January 3 is the day that they will start their weight loss challenge. My hubby is very familiar with weight loss plans and has decided that this time around he knows what he is doing and is comfortable enough to diet without being on an actual "plan." This is a great option for people who ...
Have you taken all your vitamins today? #NutritionPossible
Let's face it: there is a very small percentage of people who actually consume the proper amount of veggies and fruits each day. Personally, there are days when I may nosh on a few carrots, but then not have any vegetables the rest of the day - as for fruit, I am lucky if I eat 1 serving a day. I know how important it is to get in these vital nutrients, and I make sure my toddler gets at least two servings of fruits and veggies a day, but for ...
Nature’s Premier Compostable Diaper Service
Diaper Services may seem like a thing of the past. My grandmother always tells me about the cloth diaper service she had when my mom was a baby. She explained that each week, the diaper service would drop off a stash of cloth diapers and pick up the soiled diapers. They would launder them and bring them back the following week. When I started cloth diapering my daughter, a few people suggested cloth diapering services, but where would I find one ...
Baby Magic Has New Products! (#Giveaway)
I wasn't too familiar with Baby Magic products until I delivered my little girl. When were were in the hospital, the nursery used Baby Magic to clean up the newborns and even sent me home with a little sample. Before that, I had seen Baby Magic on the shelves, but didn't have a reason to pay any mind to it. Baby Magic is one of those baby companies that seems to have been around forever! I am always hesitant about the products that I put on my ...

Are you getting enough fiber in YOUR diet? (#Giveaway!)
I started my fiber kick right after I gave birth to my daughter. After reading through various diets to help me lose all that baby weight, I found that the most common ingredient in weight loss was an increase in fiber. Fiber helps you feel fuller longer, so you are snacking less and jump starting your weight loss. There are common misconceptions about fiber, and I would like to clear those up before I go on. When I was younger, I was diagnosed ...
