Attend a Virtual Baby Shower!

My sister is having a baby and is due in January.
I think I was tricked into it, but it appears that I am in charge of planning the baby shower.

I’m lucky I can say baby shower, let alone plan one, so I am imploring your help!
I am [...]

Her Hair Came Out of Nowhere!

My daughter woke up this morning with hair.

In Anticipation of New Babies

Our family is expecting 2 new additions, 1 this coming fall and 1 this coming winter. We don’t have a huge family, even when combining my family and my in-laws. In fact, our 2 kids, and my 12 year old nephew have been the only kids. I’m sure they liked the attention [...]

SwaddleMe Infant Wrap - a review and giveaway

Our newest giveaway is for a SwaddleMe Adjustable Infant Wrap by Kiddopotamus.
