  Thank you to Ciao! Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Over the past 10 years, I've lost count the number of times we've been to a parade, birthday party, backyard BBQ, hotel, or other function where I wished there was a portable way to have a chair or high chair for baby.  Strollers come in handy but leave much to be desired when it comes to eating time.  Most portable high chairs only serve one purpose, Read more [...]

  Thank you to Pish Posh Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog  post.  All opinions are 100% my own. One thing each one of our five children has had in common is that they were "spitters".  Our first daughter was by far the worst.  I literally had to keep a spare outfit for both of us in the diaper bag for the first six months of her life.  No matter how much I tried to avoid her getting me when it came time to burp, I almost always ended up covered.

  Thank you to Blue Lizard for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own.

*Thank you Kadho for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. Early childhood development has fascinated me since I was a child myself. In the first childhood development class that I took in high school, I remember learning that before a baby has their first birthday, they will babble in a way that is unique to their native language. So if you take a 10 or 11 month old baby from an English-speaking family and society, and compare their babbling to the babbling of a baby of the same age with Read more [...]

  Thank you to Blooming Bath for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. After our first baby was born, I remember being so antsy to give her the very first bath at home.  While my husband and I were invited to watch in the hospital, the nurse was the one to actually bathe her there.  So we kept watch for her umbilical cord to loosen in anticipation of finally being able to perform this ritual of parenthood.  I couldn't Read more [...]

  Thank you to US Organic for providing me with the following products, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I'm so happy the weather has finally started to warm up.  This past Minnesota Winter was extremely cold.  So cold that, unfortunately, we were not even able to venture outdoors much.  So my family is welcoming Spring and Summer with open arms.  However, along with the warm up comes some dreaded things.  BUGS and the Minnesota Mosquitoes!
