Safe Baby Wearing with Boba #freedomtogether
Follow A Time Out for Mommy's board Baby Wearing on Pinterest.About a week after I had my first baby, I got daring and decided to put her in a baby carrier and take her for a walk. At the time, I knew very little about baby wearing and the community behind it. Apparently there was a whole world of baby wearers out there, and they had lots of opinions on what was right and what was wrong. I will get to that later on, but now I want to address my ...
Things To Consider Before Banking Your Child’s Cord Blood #CordBlood411 #MC #sponsored
Cord Blood banking seems to be a hot topic these days. Should you or shouldn't you bank your child's cord blood is the big question.

With my second child it was a no-brainer; we were going to bank ...

Both of my little girls started off as great eaters. They love their veggies and fruits, I always incorporate whole grains in their diets, but when it comes to meat I have to get creative. The only way I can get meat into these girls is by sneaking it into their quesidillas. Oh, and speaking of quesidillas, my oldest daughter always asks for hers with no cheese, so we have to sneak that in there as well. I tell her it's part of the tortilla, or ...
