HALO would love to raise awareness of safety when it comes to putting your baby down to sleep. I personally used a HALO SleepSack for my infant because I was concerned with keeping her warm AND SAFE at night. Be ...

Hugo Naturals Baby Products
I never really thought about the chemicals that went into bath essentials until after I got pregnant. I started to hear talk from my co-workers about parabens and preservatives that were in popular bath time products and this got me thinking. If these big companies that have been around for what seems like forever, are willingly putting these dangerous chemicals into baby products, then what else should I know about these companies? This began my ...
Lite Sprites Review – Hot toys for 2011 Christmas!
After reviewing the latest toys by Wowee, I think it is safe to say that Lite Sprites will be the hottest holiday gift this year for little girls!

I have a new favorite mop in my home! Let me tell you a brief history about my mopping experience. When I first moved into my first home, I purchased the same mop my mom had along with a bucket. It was only two weeks before this sloppy mop was retired and I was searching for something else. Next, I came across a sponge mop - which lasted for about 6 months before I decided it just wasn't cleaning as well as I expected. I received a "dusting" type ...

Do you make your own stickers?
I always make my own address labels and the thought crossed my mind to make my own stickers when my toddler decided our return address labels for her birthday party were her new favorite sticker (they were Minnie themed.) I thought this was a great idea since I was able to customize stickers to suit an event for her - such as potty training. Potty training has been unsuccessful, to say the least. Just lately my little girl has started showing ...
