It's that time of year again. The time of year where we bundle up before heading out and sanitize our hands after every encounter with people that seem to be sniffling or coughing. It is also the time of year where RSV becomes a real threat to children under two. RSV stands for respiratory syncytial virus and can be fatal in babies, especially those who are premature. Premature babies, those who are born before 37 weeks of gestation, may not ...
For Baby
Infantino Fresh Squeezed {Holiday Gift Guide}
My little girl is 6 months old and that means she is starting solids! Just like with my oldest baby, I am making most of her baby food because not only is it healthier, it's also easy. I still purchase and used jarred food for on the go and also for hard to find or off-season produce, and I always choose organic above everything else. Just the other day I was in the baby food aisle at my local baby store and I was a little put off by ingredients ...
Single or Double Stroller? Britax B Ready Has You Covered!
I've gotten the hang of bringing my kids with me everywhere. It really was no issue when I had just one baby, but now that I have two kids with two very different needs, there has been some adapting and learning these past few months. Once a routine was established with my infant, travelling was much easier, and trips to the park, zoo, aquarium, and supermarket became a breeze. One of my biggest tricks to keeping both of my kids in my sight is ...
No More Plastic For Us! Check Out Kid Basix!
I'm so tired of hearing about a new plastic that may be dangerous to my family. I've done a lot to eliminate whatever fears I've had about plastic- all my plastic food storage containers and baby bottles have been swapped out for glass. My toddler, obviously can't bring glass items to school with her, and it's probably not a good idea to give her glass cups at home either, so she uses stainless steel products. This includes a stainless steel ...
Cush ‘n Go Stroller Cushion
When I had my first baby, she was in a snap-and-go style carseat/stroller for a long time. She didn't have a regular stroller until she was almost a year old, so I never put much thought into how much support a normal sized stroller provides for a newborn or infant. Since my infant was born with a fractured clavicle, she was not comfortable in her car seat, so the snap and go stroller was not an option for us. She immediately moved into a normal ...
Great Keepsake Idea for Baby #ChildtoCherish
There must be a baby boom because so many of my friends have either recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Most of my friends are second and even third time moms, so finding the perfect gift for them is sometimes a challenge. Funny, they said the same thing about me since I was expecting a second girl. I had all the gear, clothes, and most baby items I would have needed, so I bet I was really hard to shop for! One thing that I needed ...
Zutano’s Mochi Owl Costume Crafting Set
This year Halloween falls on a Wednesday. For me, this means that my boys will be in school until 4pm which limits our Trick-or-Treating time a bit. This leaves me with a little bit of a costume dilemma for my baby girl. I don't have daytime Halloween plans for her because I'll most likely be packing up our house for our move at the end of that week. So, I don't want to have to put her into a potentially uncomfortable costume right before ...
Infantino EcoSash-A Baby Carrier That Grows with Baby!
My infant is quickly growing and OUT-growing a lot of things, including her bouncer, infant car seat, bassinet, and swing. I can't believe how such useful baby items have a short usage span and it makes me sad for two reasons: one, my baby is quickly growing, and two, I have to buy MORE things! One thing that has not changed is our baby wearing, as a matter of fact we are both loving it! Since finding out she has a fractured clavicle, I've ...
