So how many cute little plastic dishes, forks, spoons and sippy cups do you really need? Of course, you won’t need these until baby is eating solids around 6 months, but the real question is how often you want to be washing those same cute dishes… Continue reading…

My sister-in-law, Tiffany, and I were discussing the joys of 3 year old preschoolers the other day as I told her about Kate’s latest debate with me regarding her clothes. I was trying to get her dressed for a specific outing, but she was NOT wanting to wear the clothes that I had picked out. Instead she picked out one of her shirts that only matches ONE pair of shorts. And of course, those shorts were in the hamper and dirty.

Q: To doula or not to doula; that is the question. My husband’s fine with it, I think it could be nice, but I’m not sure we need one. But then, we were talking to our doctor who suggested that if we were going to try to have a natural, unmedicated birth that we might want to consider a doula. Also, I think my biggest thing is I don’t want to take away from my husband’s part in this and make him feel unneeded. I want us to be partners…any suggestions? Continue reading…
Baby CheapskateHoly cow!! Great use of visuals to help explain the proposed budget cuts and their actual impact on the overall budget.
You’ll never fold tshirts the same way again!
If you ever wanted to hear someone put a mommy’s day into a song, try this one! (I guarantee you’ll laugh your butt off.)
A little on the political side, but interesting nonetheless…
