I was at the playground sandbox chatting with some moms as our 16 month olds played. One of the mothers started talking about how she purees her own organic fruits and vegetables for her daughter. I said that was admirable if only I had the time or patience. I don’t have stringent rules when it comes to eating. I do my best to give my daughter organic baby food but sometime I buy non-organic stuff because it’s cheaper. And if we’re at a restaurant, I’ll give her some of my chicken or veggies, which I doubt is organic.

We were on a road trip and my 3-year old daughter left her favorite blankie (Blue) at a gas station. We had been driving 10 minutes when we noticed. We turned back immediately.

When we pulled up I ran up to the lady at the convenience store counter – where Blue was last seen – and asked if they’d found a blue blanket.

My baby cannot nap unless I’m holding her. Yes, it’s true. I’ve become a hostage to my baby for hours throughout the day. I’ve tried everything – bouncy seats, music in the crib, darkening shades, swings, etc. All of these solutions worked for a little while but she would always wake up after 15 – 20 minutes. Not enough for her to be truly rested. She will only nap – long and deep – in my arms. I’d rather have her rested and happy then irritable…

The B-READY Stroller from Britax is the hottest new stroller on the market. The stroller can covert from a travel system (with up to 2 infant car seats) to a single or in-line double tandem stroller. It has 14 different seating configurations and is designed to be folded with one or two seats attached! All we can say is brilliant.

Just when I was getting used to feeding, diapering, changing, dressing, napping and strolling out the door with one child – soon I will have to do it with two. I’m not sure what to expect of this new addition to our little family but I know I won’t worry too much about how to get them both around town.

I have 2 kids a 5 year old girl and a 5 month old boy. Let me tell you, ” You should…” gets old!
“You should change him more often!”~ I thought that you didn’t change babies unless they’re wet or poopy.
“You should give him formula at night, it’ll help him sleep”~ I breastfeed for a reason, thanks!

It has been hot. H-O-T. Hot. Combine that with the fact that I am now eight months pregnant and was told to walk by my OB and we had ourselves a tough situation. It was easily solved by deciding to head to our local mall. Unfortunately, many others had the same idea and the place was a madhouse. Crowded, hot and a recipe for disaster with two hot, quickly overtired children.
