When I was pregnant with Little Luna, I knew that I wanted a baby carrier for here and there. I didn't want to spend a lot and ended up getting a cheap model because it seemed the easiest to put on. After using it a few times and looking at other moms in the neighborhood with more expensive models, I realized that theirs was not as bulky as mine and their babies seemed to site more comfortably in the carrier. I remember seeing an advertisement ...

Breaking the habit: Getting rid of the Binky!
I'm not too sure how I felt about giving my daughter a pacifier when she was born. One part of me thought that since sucking provides comfort for babies, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Another part of me felt that it's a habit - we will have to break it at some point and I didn't want her to be dependent on anything.I brought a few pacifiers to the hospital with me. I knew I was going to try to breastfeed and they might interfere with ...
What’s for dinner Friday?
I love Friday's because we usually have a house full of people. The menu is typically the same every Friday, because everyone has grown use to expecting Taco night and they all look forward to it. I've tried doing taco night with just me and hubby, but we both agree that it is just not the same without a group of people. I always have an assortment of spreads and everyone makes their own tacos. Here is what my spread consists of:1 bowl of chopped ...
Garlic Gold Review
Have you ever roasted a head of garlic in the oven? I do this by wrapping the whole garlic in aluminum and placing it in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Each piece of garlic becomes an easy to spread addition to any meal. I personally like it with a little salt and butter.. MMM!When I received a bottle of Garlic Gold Oil to review, the aroma of the oil was very similar to the roasted garlic I make in the oven. It was fresh and mouth ...
Costumes Supercenter Review
I'm not too sure how many people would agree with me on this one, but I just can't see spending a ton of money on a costume that my child will only wear for 1 day. This past Halloween, I admittedly tried to get the most out of my daughter's Halloween costume by taking her to EVERY single Halloween bash within a 20 mile radius. She wore it about 7 times and I didn't feel guilty when I put it away for good, knowing that it got some wear.Costumes ...
First full day with cloth diapers
Today was the first FULL day I had my little one in cloth diapers. The cleanup is not as bad as I thought AT ALL! They are super cute and she seems much more comfortable in them.She is currently using Bumgenius Flips. I like them a lot because they are really easy to use for a newbie like me. What I don't like about them is that the cloth slips and although she has not leaked, the cover still gets soiled so it has to get changed at almost every ...
The day has come
I knew this day would come soon. I was hoping it would come last August, and then started to dread it sometime in October. The day that might separate me from my daughter for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week: Job Openings. When I lost my job as a teacher last year I was devastated. I didn't know how we were going to get by and couldn't fathom what would happen with our insurance. This feeling made me sick - the entire summer spent looking for ANY ...
