There are a few tried and trusted brands we use regularly, but I'm always willing to try something new, as long as it meets my "picky mom" guidelines. With our newest baby on the way, I feel like I've tried just about everything and know what I'm looking for when it comes to feeding my kids. Beech-Nut is a name that has been around for decades.

We Love The Unique Shape of @Avent_US Natural Bottles!
When it comes to bottles, I've tried them all! With my first baby I chose a bottle system that was most conducive to pumping while I was at work. I had no issues with her taking the bottle I offered her. My second baby was gave me more of a challenge. She didn't like the same bottles her sister took, or the bottles that came with my pump, or any other bottle I tried for that matter. At that same time, Avent had introduced their natural bottle ...

The Many Faces Of The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Too
A few months ago I found myself in a hormonal induced dilemma- how was I going to keep my 3 year old troublemaker contained in a stroller along with an infant? Sure, a double stroller seems like an easy solution but then we started taking our car trunk dimensions into consideration and the situation turned out to be very stressful. I wanted to keep our newest member in his car seat if he was sleeping, and give my toddler a place to rest (or be ...
