Having a baby again, I had forgotten how much other people love babies. I cannot go to a store without people swooning and goo goo gah gah-ing at my handsome little guy. Not that I blame them. He is utterly adorable. And if I forget to put on his socks? People can’t resist coming up [...]

With my new addition to the family I’ve been reconsidering a lot of things I used the first time around, including our baby tub.

This will probably be my last post for a short time – baby comes on Monday so I’ll be laid up for a bit. But before I go, I wanted to post this last thing because I’ve gotten the question a few times and I had this own challenge myself. My 3 1/2 year old [...]

A while ago our friend Kirstin of Trying to be Greener went on a manhunt to find a PVC Free Rain Cover for baby strollers. From what she went through it seems that was no easy feat. I have never used a rain cover myself… I always thought they looked like a bad idea and [...]
