There is so much hype surrounding Baby Safety Month everywhere you look - from blogs to baby stores, everyone is promoting this very important cause. One of my biggest fears as a new parent was SIDS. It seems that there is very little known on the actual cause of SIDS and a lot of speculation - and then throw in blankets and toys in the mix and you have yourself a very dangerous situation.

Aetna Healthy Food Fight Contest!
If you haven't jumped on the healthy living and eating bandwagon, Aetna and SheSpeaks is urging you to join now! We all know that healthy eating habits are important in our overall well being - but a lot of people are unaware that the food choices they make may have severe health consequences later on in their lives.

OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Review
My mom has a "magical" cleaning powder that she adds to her laundry and swears by it. I tried it a few times, saw no real difference, and I still have a box sitting in the storage drawer under my washing machine. Having a toddler who feeds herself (and does not believe in wearing a bib) means that I have some heavy duty stains to deal with when it comes time for laundry. From tomato sauce to watermelon stains, my toddler's clothing is only worn a ...
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (cards)!

If I found something I thought was the perfect gift, I couldn't pass it up! Now that we are married, he actually appreciates that I am on top of the holiday to do list, although he may ...
Outdoor fun with the Family #C2Play2Day

My little girl loves to create pictures with chalk and enjoys blowing bubbles. We even got her a little play house to have some fun in during the warmer months. Finding things to do hasn't really been difficult, but it ...
How to Prepare Your Nursery for Your New Arrival #SeventhGeneration
When I found out I was pregnant with my little girl, I began my search for the most natural products to use on and around her. I immediately stopped using chemicals to clean my home and decided to use vinegar. We even changed our diets and decided to go for more natural, organic foods. Around my 8th month of pregnancy, I began putting the nursery together and chose to use mainly natural products to stock her area with. From body wash and shampoo ...
Avocados from Mexico Spookamole Contest!
Guacamole has become the #1 dip at all our family functions. It's no wonder that it is everyone's favorite. This healthy dip made from Mexican avocados, the most popular Haas variety, is available year round. I have tried many recipes when it came to the perfect Guacamole, and now that I finally perfected it, I wouldn't change a thing. So, this year, instead of creating a different recipe for our upcoming Halloween party, I decided that my ...
