*I was sent product from Safety 1st. All opinions are my own. September is officially baby safety month, but for parents with young kids every month is child safety month. With little ones around, it's impossible to take a break from being aware of safety guidelines.

To celebrate Baby Safety Read more [...]

*I was sent HALO products in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. When I look back at some of my baby pictures I'm sometimes shocked by how much things have changed. Seeing the contraptions that were my car seat and baby walker is pretty crazy. I wore a "baby ring" on one of my fingers, my mom now wears it on a necklace and I can't believe how tiny it was. I doubt that any jewelry manufacturers even make rings that small now, I certainly can't see anyone putting them on a baby because Read more [...]
