Thank you to Poli for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I have literally purchased about 100 sippy cups in my life, maybe even more.  I started buying when I was about 14 and would babysit a young family of three little girls (ages 2 weeks through 3 years) at our home every weekend.  This was literally my dream job and I was thrilled to spend my own money on baby gear and necessities for them.  For about 4 years, Read more [...]

As any parent can tell you, time sure does fly.  Our oldest is turning 11 this year and I still remember so much about the weekend she was born all that time ago.  When I think that in just 7 short years she'll be considered an adult, I just want to cry.  Then I start to think about our youngest who is already 18 months and that feels impossible.  Read more [...]

  Thank you to Haru Honpo for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Well, the last 11 years of my life have included me having a child pretty much everywhere I go.  About six months ago my husband didn't have much to do, so I left the kiddos at home while I attended my cousin's baby shower  My aunt was completely floored that I didn't have even one of our five kids with because she had never seen me childless Read more [...]
