*”Tried and True” will be an on going thread where I will be reviewing the products we have tried out in our lives as parents!* If you had asked me about this sling just 3 days ago, I would have told you I hated it. Yes, HATED it. And I don’t hate a lot. But it was confusing, sat funny […]
*”Tried and True” will be an on going thread where I will be reviewing the products we have tried out in our lives as parents!* Ah, the baby monitor. The new parent doesn’t let it out of sight, yet never gets far enough away from baby that they wouldn’t hear them anyways. The more experienced parent knows EXACTLY how far […]
*This is a (slightly edited) fb status message I posted late last night regarding THIS article – please read it first!* I love the comment about surrendering your body to motherhood… that is it EXACTLY!

I know quite a few supermoms who have flown without their strollers. That is NOT ME. For one thing, I love my stroller. Like, seriously. BOB is my boyfriend and my husband totally accepts this fact *wink*. And for another, there are just some moment when wearing Liam isn’t an option (he’s not in the mood, he fell asleep in […]
The Parenting Crazies – it’s those words and/or actions we do for the good of our child. Ok, sometimes it’s simply for the good of our sanity.
