Have A Happy Halloween With Your Toddler

Halloween is just around the corner, and for the parents of toddlers it can be both a very fun and a very challenging holiday to navigate. Getting your little guy or girl into a costume is not likely to be much of a battle because most toddlers love to play “dress up”. If you want, you can even get into the act with a compatible costume for yourself. Your toddler is sure to love seeing Mommy, Daddy, or both “playing dress up” too. This year, Dylan has decided that he would like to be a fireman. He already has his … Continue reading →

Mom Gene Found?

Are some women just meant to have children? According to research coming out of Rockefeller Center, there may be some biological evidence that some of us are born with an overwhelming need to mother, and some of us aren’t. And while all of us could be wonderful, nurturing mothers, not all of us “need” to be. Apparently, the study shows evidence for the existence of a “mom” gene. It is important to note that the study was done with female mice, not female humans. I would like to think that we might be a little more complicated than rodents, although … Continue reading →

Postpartum Woes-Getting Your Groove Back

Posted on by

When I was struggling during the first few weeks and months of my little one’s life, it seemed so hard. In fact, it seemed that all of the tummy issues he had and lack of sleep was just too much for me to handle. I felt like I would never be back to my normal self now that I had three kids to take care of. I felt overwhelmed, tired, and in a fog. I had several friends say to me, “Oh, don’t worry, you will get back into the groove of motherhood in no time”. While, it didn’t happen … Continue reading →

The Trendy Mom & Baby

Posted on by

Today I had a post-partum check up and was waiting patiently for the doctor to come in. You know, half dressed, and praying that the baby would stay asleep in his car seat. I decided to pick up a parenting magazine I saw in the room and thumb through it while I was waiting. I won’t say which magazine it was, but I was shocked to find that this was like a people magazine, but for Moms. For example, every other page had a celebrity on it with their child. Of course, they were dressed to perfection in designer clothes. … Continue reading →

It’s Your Turn

What is last on your to do list? Chances are, like most single mothers, it’s anything you want to do for yourself.

I’m not talking about the big things like doctor visits and the like, as mothers we are usually pretty good at taking care of the health of the … Continue reading →

Wish I Had This: QuickSmart Backpack Stroller

Manufacturers are always coming out with new baby products that boggle my mind and almost make me wish I was having another one. One such company is QuickSmart. I do not own any of their products nor have I reviewed their products but from what I see and been told I am missing out. I hated the big clunky strollers I had to use in the past or the play yard that took a host of Egyptian pyramid builders to construct. QuickSmart looks amazing and takes living mobile with a baby to a new level. I wish I had the … Continue reading →

Deal With Those Things You Do Not Use

There are things that you buy that you love, and you use them until they are all used up (if they are consumables) or all worn out if they are things like clothes or shoes. Then there are those things that you may not want to talk about. Things that you have bought that you do not use, or that you never wear. Things that cost you money, things that are just sort of in your home (or a storage unit) taking up space. This is not a topic that people enjoy discussing because no one wants to admit to … Continue reading →
