Young America is hands-down the first place to look when you are looking to furnish your baby’s nursery. This company is committed to excellence in every area and it shows in the quality of their products.
Young America first came to my attention when I was looking for a changing table/dresser that would last well past my daughter’s time in diapers. Their furniture seemed far more durable and sturdy than most of the items I looked at by other manufacturers. The literature from Young America says it is “Built to Last” and I believe it.

I am not a good sleeper. Neither was my daughter for the first four months of her life. I was afraid insomnia ran in my family. I worried about her lack of sleep and I worried about my own, because when she didn’t sleep – I didn’t sleep. Dazed and sleep deprived, I stumbled into a class taught by a sleep expert. To be honest, it was

A fabulous crib is pretty much the undisputed centerpiece of any newborn’s room. It is also the obvious place to start when working to create your perfect nursery.

With all of the choices out there, buying car seats for your children can be over-whelming. Moving to a booster seat involves even more deliberation as we’re bombarded with weight and height minimums, maximums and all sorts of visual requirements. Well now there’s an end to all of the confusion…the Britax Frontier 85 car seat. After about 2 years old, this will be the last car seat you will ever need!

There are many excuses for not working out. At varying times my husband and I have managed to come up with all of them. I think the number one excuse for new parents (okay, maybe a distant second behind sleep deprivation and complete exhaustion) is that they can’t hike a mountain and push a stroller up it at the same time. With the introduction of the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active Organic this obstacle has just been removed.

If you are anything like me, and the parents I know, you may never have heard of BPA, PVC or phthalates until you had your first baby. Suddenly I was checking every plastic bottle and food container in my house to see if there were any toxic chemicals lurking there. To take some of the guessing out of the game there is a fantastic website called The Soft Landing that sells only eating gear and storage containers that are environmentally friendly and nontoxic.

My little girl is not so little anymore. She is taller than most of her tiny cohorts and has recently become interested in more adult things – mostly sitting at the table to dine with the big people. I have to say I was pleased the first time she climbed up onto the big-person chair and sat awaiting her meal. I was less excited when she fell out the back and landed on the floor with a disheartening wail. The thought of a booster seat had never entered my head but suddenly it seemed an unavoidable accoutrement.
