Wow!  The last day of the Virtual Baby Shower.  I hope you had as much fun reading about all these great products as I had writing about them!!!  Remember, you still have until Wednesday, February 9 to enter all the giveaways.  You can see them all on the Virtual Baby Shower page. So, let’s get [...]

When I first heard that we were having a boy at our ultrasound (after the initial shock wore off), my first thought was SHOPPING!  Not necessarily shopping for the big stuff or necessities…but shopping for boy clothes!!!  Please understand, I’ve been immersed in a world of pink and purple, princesses and butterflies, and sparkles for [...]

For those of you who have been following along with this “Ready for Baby” Virtual Baby Shower, have I officially freaked you out as new parents yet? I’m so sorry if I have!  Totally not my intention! The tough part with telling you about new and different baby products is that there is a reason [...]

From the minute we find out we are pregnant, our number one goal is to keep that little baby safe.  We take our prenatal vitamins, make countless trips to the OB, and take precautions not to slip and fall on the ice (seems I failed at that one this time).  We make choices when it [...]

But the whole experience did leave me wondering about the whole shopping for nursing wear experience. Let me be clear, while I [...]

The next time I’m pregnant, I’m totally going to ______________.  I wish I had ________________ when my baby was a newborn or growing up! Go ahead, fill in the blanks.  There are always things, looking back, that we wish we had done while pregnant or while our baby was still so new.  For me, even [...]

It’s one of the most controversial topics when it comes to motherhood and yet it is one of the most seemingly natural parts of motherhood and has been around since, well…since the beginning.  I’m talking about nursing.  It is amazing to me that nursing (or breastfeeding) your baby (or not) is in any way, shape, [...]
