I rarely let my toddler watch television channels that have commercials because then I know every 2 minutes I will hear "I want that" and "I want that too!" I'm sure it is payback for what I put my mom through, but I usually respond with "okay" and we move on. I know one day she might actually argue with me, but for now it works! If you have had a chance to see the commercials for Happy Nappers, then you know exactly why a child ...

Oasis Pure Internet Radio/MP3 Player Review
Outdoor summertime fun is just not the same without the right beats, so it's time to update your MP3 player with the latest tracks! I've been using internet radio more and more because I love the variety of the music and all the options for music genres. Your music preferences can change from day to night, so having access to music with options is important! I personally do not like bringing my computer to the beach or pool, so internet radio ...
Awesome Blossom Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway!
With so many people revisiting the idea of cloth diapering these days, it is amazing at the amount of scoffs I get when I tell people I love cloth diapering my kids. My toddler wasn't cloth diapered from birth, but baby #2 who will be making a debut real soon is going to be cloth diapered right from the start. Cloth diapers have come a long way from my grandmother's days. Some people might think of safety pins holding the diaper together, but ...
Making Learning Fun!
My toddler has been able to recognize and recite her entire alphabet since the time she was about 18 months. It was no surprise that she could repeat the alphabet song, but when she would point to a letter and correctly identify it, I knew it had a lot to do with the reinforcement she was getting from her favorite TV show, Sesame Street, as well as from my husband and I constantly pointing out letters. The first cookies she ever had were the ...
In the market for toys? Check out ebeanstalk!
I know a lot of moms complain about the amount of toys they have piling up in their homes, but I also know that children LOVE to receive toys, as opposed to clothing, when you get them a gift. We were all kids once - don't you remember those birthdays where you would get a toy from your favorite aunt, money from grandma, and socks from your mom? Which present did you like the best? I'm willing to bet it was the fun building toy (even if the cash ...

My toddler loves Bubble Guppies and I often hear her singing the Bubble Guppies theme song while she is playing. She loves all the characters and calls her dad a grump-fish on those days he comes home from work, um, well, GRUMPY! On May 1, Bubble Guppies will be ...
Clean Baby Easy with the Rinse Hopper!
If you've had a newborn, then you know they poop - A LOT. If you are an expectant mom and haven't had your baby yet, then be prepared to change diapers up to 12 times a day (if not more!) My breastfed newborn pooped at every diaper change and it wasn't long before she developed her first diaper rash from the constant wiping. The doctor and hospital both suggested to use just water and towels on baby's new, tender skin. I'll admit, I didn't ...
