As a mom who started cloth diapering when my baby was near potty training age, I never had the experience of cloth diapering a newborn. At this stage, it is easy to forget how tiny newborns really are, and the logistics of having a bulky cloth diaper fit them. Leaner newborns may have issues with leaking when the leg gussets are not snug enough. Clothing may not be true to size because cloth diapers on newborns are overly bulky. When I ...

Take the Rodelle Challenge – You could win a KitchenAid and a Years supply of Baking Essentials!
If you are a frequent baker, then you know that basically, there is no baking that doesn't include vanilla in some form. Whether your recipe calls for vanilla beans or vanilla extract, this is one flavor you don't want to skimp on. I often see "Imitation Vanilla" extracts and I have to wonder - Why? Vanilla in it's purest form, although bitter, has such a fragrant aroma - why use the imitation stuff?? Responsibly sourced from premier growing ...
Modify Watch Review and Giveaway
My hubby never leaves the house without wearing his watch. When we got engaged, I wanted so badly to get him a really nice watch, but we are were so broke and I never really got the chance to get him the nice watch I wanted to. Now, my hubby isn't the trendy type of guy. He dresses well, and keeps himself together, but as far as style, he is kind of traditional in a sense that you will never see him rocking white pants (unless of course were are ...
Yo Gabba Gabba Live! in NYC!
Over the weekend I took my toddler to see a live performance of Yo Gabba Gabba. I didn't know what to expect from my toddler who is rambunctious in the comfort of her home, but reserved when she is out in the world. We headed over to Beacon Theater and hoped she would enjoy everything the show had to offer. As the show started and the theater got dark, my toddler creeped into my armpit, not really sure what to expect. She knew she was there to ...
Don’t you love the Terrible Twos?
The terrible twos are upon us. When my mom first told me that my toddler would eventually hit them, my response to myself was "not my kid." Why did I think that I would totally bypass this horrific stage? My toddler has been speaking for months. I completely understand her and she is great at communicating what she wants. Until this past week. I'm not sure who flipped the switch on this precious little girl but my little angel has turned into a ...
Ready to own a Hybrid car?
I have to admit - up until recently I have been a car snob, only looking into cars that had a long time reputation for reliability and durability. In the end I paid top dollar for a car that I could have very easily paid a lot less for, had I decided to get a Kia. Just recently I told my husband that my next car WILL be a Kia because of all they have to offer and their amazing prices. He offered to take me car shopping, but that's just plain ...
Win a Pump in Style Advance! ($299 Value) @Medela_US In Honor of the Tatas event
Right before I gave birth to my daughter, my cousin dropped off her Medela Pump in Style breastpump that was barely used. She had to go back to work almost immediately after her baby was born, and did not have enough milk to pump for her baby. I went out and purchased a new set of tubing and pump accessories, and my 1 year relationship with Medela began. In the hospital, I was given a hospital grade pump and was encouraged to pump by the ...
