I love, love, LOVE my iPad! But while it’s lightweight, easy to lug around in my purse, and very convenient to check email on and let the kids play games on, it’s not exactly the easiest thing to actually “work” on. I do freelance writing and blogging, and sometimes it would be nice to be [...]

When I had my son, I didn’t think much about what kind of diaper bag I’d carry around. I wanted something that was durable and would last a long time, something that would hide stains and not show a whole lot of wear and tear, and something stylish because I knew it would also end [...]

Over time, all of that stuff builds up and leaves a grayish residue on the inside of your machine…do you know what I’m talking about? Yuck [...]

I know what you’re thinking: I would never in a million years put my child in a plastic bag filled with air in the car instead of in a real booster seat. That can’t possibly be safe. But hold on! You haven’t seen the BubbleBum yet! So what is the BubbleBum? It is the only [...]

Back in October,  told you about Mommy’s Helper Potty Seat, how fantastic of a product it is and that it is a must-have for potty training. Why it’s so cool is because it is a step and potty seat in one product. We still are using it regularly, and I still think it was a five-star [...]

One chore I hate to do almost as much as I hate to do laundry is clean windows. I dread it and usually put it off until we can barely see through the windows anymore. That might be a slight exaggeration, but not much. When a friend mentioned Fish Foam, I thought it was worth [...]

I write about green living and green products a lot here. I think it’s important to “be green” where you can, and to use green products that suit your family’s needs. The problem I find a lot in stores is that there’s not a huge selection of green products, and online, they are kind of [...]

Does your baby take a pacifier? This question, and the response to it, is a topic that moms talk about a lot. What do you call it (ours were called ‘binkies’)? Do you only let baby have it while sleeping or all day long? At what age do you take it away? It’s a hot [...]

I recently told you about personalized gift wrap, and what a fun idea I thought it was to get a present with your name all over it. The problem I’ve always had with gift wrap is that you throw it away…unless you are one of those people that delicately breaks down a gift with the [...]

Now that the girls are getting older, it’s easier to get out of the house without having to lug a huge diaper bag around. One thing I always groan about taking are the sippy cups. I know by the time that we get wherever we are going, they’ll already have finished their juice (diluted juice, [...]
