We are always looking for new things to do with the kids – *especially* at the end of a very long winter, when yet another trip to the mall is less than exciting, and the playgrounds are still too muddy and cold to go to. By the end of February, … Continue reading
I don’t have a post HERE for you guys today because I’m over visiting Nicci. She asked for some babywearing advice on choosing a carrier – come see what she got! Continue reading
I hate Thursdays. Without the structure of Cole’s preschool in the morning, Thursdays just seem to go on for-ev-er. Plus having Cole home all morning means Lulu doesn’t really get to nap, and by mid-afternoon no one is in a great mood. So yesterday, I looked over the toy carnage … Continue reading
Once again we owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to all the people who help us out All The Time. When Listen to Your Mother announced auditions for their New York show, I knew I wanted in. I got an appointment, set up babysitting with Coach, and concentrated on figuring … Continue reading

Lulu, on the other hand, has started sleeping longer stretches (which leaves her damp longer), and is constantly trying new foods (which can irritate her tushie), so when Boudreaux’s Butt Paste offered to send … Continue reading
Wear ‘Em Wednesday is back! I know it’s been a few weeks, but we’re getting back into the swing of it. Some of the most common questions I get are about ring slings, so I thought I’d put together a few videos with some basics. The first video is a … Continue reading
I have SO much to blog about, and exciting things to share with you guys (Matt & Maya got married this weekend!), but finding the time has been a little tricky. Cole sleeps well enough at night (once he finally goes to bed), but he does NOT nap anymore. Lulu … Continue reading
