When I was a little girl, I was afraid of everything in the dark, or rather, what I thought was in the dark! I watched a lot of things on TV that I just wasn't mature enough to handle, you know - before the days of Nick Jr and Sprout. My little girl does not have a fear of the dark yet. She can sit in a dark quiet bedroom and giggle! She definitely gets that from her daddy! I know there might be a day that she will begin to have irrational fears ...

Summer Infant Review *Birthday Bash Giveaway*
Having a baby, I know just how much baby stuff you can accumulate and never use, or use only once. You really don't know what you need until your child is here. Right before my daughter was born, we received a Summer Infant SwaddleMe as a gift and it was not until she was born that I knew I needed a few more! I initially did not think I would get any use out of it, but it turned out to be a lifesaver for me and my colicky newborn. It kept her ...
Real Kids Shades Review & #giveaway *Birthday Bash Sponsor*
When I would put sunglasses on my infant, I would get many compliments on "how cute" she looked and how adorable her sunglasses were. While I admit my child is quite adorable in shades, I do not put sunglasses on her in order to make a fashion statement. I feel that if I am going out in the sun and I will be protecting my eyes, why shouldn't I protect her eyes as well? I know children often do not leave their sunglasses on long enough to provide ...
Rock n Learn Early Learning DVD Collection Giveaway *August Birthday Bash*
When it comes to educational toys and media for children, people either really love it or really hate it. The idea of letting children just have fun and learning will take place during play time is a great philosophy to have. I can go either way on the topic. I do believe that a child should have fun and educational material should not be thrown in their face, but at the same time - if I am letting my child watch TV, then why not let her watch ...
Do you love going to the dentist?
I never had a fear for the dentist the way other people did. I never had cavities or issues that needed any oral surgery until I was a little older. My dentist visits were always standard with an x-ray and a cleaning. It was not until I had to have my wisdom teeth removed that my fear for the dentist emerged. You see, I had an infection from the impacted tooth, so Novacain was not sufficient to numb my pain. I felt EVERYTHING, from the tugging ...
Lollacup Review
My little girl has been using a straw cup since she was about 10 months old. She mainly uses her straw cup for water, since she still has her milk in a (gasp) bottle. I know - The bottle should be taken away, but I've decided to pick and choose my battles with my toddler. She gave up the pacifier with no major issues, but she needs her bottle to sleep, and I need to sleep, so the bottle is here to stay for now. I have tried purchasing novelty ...
dENiZEN Jeans Review
I have a VERY difficult time with jeans. To be honest, there is only one brand of jeans I liked until now, and they are very hard to find. The reason I liked my previous jeans is because they were forgiving. They were stretchy enough to accommodate my movement but stiff enough to be considered jeans. I don't like restrictive clothing and I feel that jeans in general are restrictive. Until I tried dENiZEN jeans from Levi Strauss. They are the ...
We Can Cook Book Review and #Giveaway !
My niece and nephew have spent most of their summer with me since school is out. When they stay over, meal times have to be creative because my niece is one picky eater. It is impossible to get her to eat anything besides pizza and pasta. My nephew, on the other hand, will eat anything. While juggling their own personal preferences for food, I have my toddler who will eat anything one minute but be picky the next. I try to make foods fun for ...
