When my oldest daughter turned two, her doctor and I discussed supplements and whether or not they were necessary. Although my daughter ate well, she seemed to get sick a lot and I was raised thinking that a boost from vitamins was a good thing. I still think that, but I have come to learn that not all vitamins are made the same. If a vitamin is suppose to help your immune system, then why add artificial colors to them?

Keep Baby Clean and Dry with Huggies Diapers #HuggiesWalmart #CBias #SocialFabric
When it comes to diapers, I've tried them all. I started with the brand the hospital used, moved on to generic, store-brand diapers, I've even cloth diapered for some time.

Summer is Here! Practice Safe Biking with Trendy Helmets!
My little girl is learning to ride a bike, granted- it's a tricycle, but she still needs to keep her head protected even if she isn't going fast or even riding on her own yet.

When I was younger, I NEVER wanted to wear a bike helmet because they had just come out and they were HIDEOUS! You know how preteens can be- I'm ...
Summer Barbecues- Where do you put the kids to sit and eat?
With all the summer barbecues lined up and all our guests with their ever-growing families, finding a place to sit can sometimes be a problem.

I joked with my husband that soon we are going to have a BYOC policy- bring your own chair! The kids are usually playing and don't generally sit ...
