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 ...
Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Teleflora
Breast Cancer hits home for me. My grandmother, aunt, and my husband's aunt have all been diagnosed, and two out of the three are survivors. My aunt lost her battle a few years ago and is a constant reminder how important it is to listen to your body. My husband's aunt just recently celebrated a birthday, which coincides with Breast Cancer awareness month, so we thought it would be fitting to get her a beautiful gift that celebrated her life and ...
Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set
Yesterday we celebrated my younger son's 3rd birthday. As expected his 4-year old brother was somewhat jealous of all the beautifully wrapped packages sitting there just waiting to be opened. Thankfully, my parents always buy gifts for both of the boys for each birthday, so they both have a few new toys to open. I also had something for him to open....a Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set. This toy is for ages 5 and up so my husband sat ...
Colgate Optic White Offers a Fresh Smile!
Although I have veneers on my upper teeth I was very excited to hear about Colgate's new Optic White line of products. My veneers will never whiten, but my lower teeth have yellowed a bit over the years with the help of my love of coffee and tea. My husband was excited about the products as well so we both participated in a 5 day trial. When I received the Colgate Optic White products, I could tell that both the toothpaste and mouthwash ...
Contours Options LT Tandem Stroller Review
Options. It's what every new or seasoned mom needs when it comes to baby gear. Some of us don't realize it in the beginning, but after a few months of switching baby gear and watching the unused or limited use pieces get piled in the corner of the basement, we realize that all we really needed from the start was something with more options. Babies grow and OUTgrow gear at an unfathomable rate. When I was pregnant with my second baby, I was ...
Lunch Bento Boxes Are In!
Packing lunch for my little ones has been somewhat of a stressful situation. Juggling my ideas about lunch, snack, and dessert, plus two additional snacks for each of them has made me a little crazy...but it's October and things are starting to get a little easier. Especially since I came across the Bento Box by Goodbyn. This food container has 3 sections to keep food separated. And each section is a slightly different size so I can easily ...
