Baby Product Must Haves You Don't Want to Miss

  My kids just turned 3 and 4 and as I see them officially turn into real toddlers, I find myself needing to purge some of their baby things. There are some new inventions now that I wish I had a few years ago. But looking through these products, there are some things that’ll never change and always be a necessity! Boppy pillow. This thing was awesome! I Love that you could get replaceable covers that zipped on and off easily to wash. It was really great to be able to use it for feeding...

With heart month beginning in just a few days, I just can’t help but blog about it! Why not right!?

Safety First: Car Seats

Parents, grandparents, caretakers of children,   May I share my heart with you on one issue of car seat safety? So many times, in photos and in person, I see the babies in their bulky, puffy coats squeezed under the harnesses of their seats. I did it too with my oldest sometimes. You pull that strap to tighten it down as much as you can, but then you loosen it a smidge to ensure they can breathe. I also see those chest clips low across their ribs or bellies. Or the gaps above their shoulders where...

Hey Mamas! Let’s chat about BABY WEARING!  Before I became a mama I couldn’t wait to be able to wear my baby around but was definitely nervous about all the options that are out there!  Babywearing: Everything You Need To Know to Wear Your Baby Safely & In Style So I did my research & came across 3 main types of “baby wearing”.

This Mess I'm In!

If you came to my front door today without any notice, you would find a scene similar to this. I'm curious. What do you see? What would be your first thoughts walking into my living room? Even better, what if I dropped by and it was YOUR living room? If I am honest, most of the time I see a mess. I see work. I see it as a chore. And I feel tired looking at it.

How to talk to your kids about how babies are made?

  Oh Mommyhood! Moms, I need your help! My boys are just turned four and about to turn three. A few weeks ago, I learned that the famous April the giraffe is pregnant again!

Handsocks Mama Blog: Interruption to Normal

  When your day-to-day is reasonably predictable and things usually go the way you expect them to, even a small thing out of the ordinary can catch you off-guard. Recently, one morning threw me a little curve ball. We were leaving my one-year-old's checkup and headed for an x-ray of her hips instead of home for her nap time and schoolwork for the big kids.   I tend to be a worst-case-scenario thinker. My baby could possibly have an issue that would need correcting. It could be stressful, inconvenient, uncomfortable, and a complete interruption to our...
