12/12/11--10:11: Pregnancy in the First Trimester (chan 2528595)

As I was searching through my blog categories, I realized that I have not at all touched on the topic of pregnancy.  Such an obvious topic, with a blog dedicated to babies, but yet I haven’t talked about it at all!  The truth is, during my second pregnancy, I did not blog at all and [...]

My big boy turned 3 on December 8th!   I can’t believe we have a 3-year old.  To celebrate we invited all of our friends and family to a local high school where we brought a rented toddler moon bounce for all to enjoy.  It was the same thing we did for his 2nd birthday [...]

My daughter just turned five a few months ago. Before her birthday party, she asked me, “Mom, can we go to McDonald’s for my birthday?” I was horrified.

In choosing a standard cleaner versus a green cleaner, sometimes it seems as if you have to make a sacrifice. Choose a green cleaner, and it seems to not be quite as effective and often cost more off the shelf. Choose a standard cleaner, and you confront the hazards of harsh chemicals in your home [...]

My 10 month old and I enjoyed some quiet time together one evening last week.  I popped in the DVD that Laura Lacey Massage sent me for a review and laid my baby boy down on the bed after a bath.  I had already previewed the DVD, so I knew what to expect and had [...]
