The Best Baby Shower: Milk Nursingwear Review and Give Away

L6000-medium BLUE

Milk Nursingwear stocks high quality bras, tops, dresses and much more at affordable prices. As a pajama lover and a stay at … [Read more...]

sticky

Everyone says you helicopter with the first kid, and then subsequent kids basically raise themselves.  I guess we'll see about that.  But one thing I know for sure is that I have in my head all of the things I didn't get to do for Emma so I can make sure to do them for baby #2. One of those things has to do with the monthly baby photos.  I was sure to take a picture of her every month for posterity, but I sure wish I had labeled her by month to make it a bit easier to identify.  I've … [Read more...]

Lots of moms like me feel that we're just too busy to work out.  Well, except for this cardio here: Besides toddler dance sessions, I just don't have time to get to the gym.  Despite this, I long for a toned, taut look, and of course, I wish I had the time to 'indulge' in a little exercise to get there.   Somehow, the dance parties and hauling Jack around just don't seem to whittle me away in any measurable amount.  The good news is that Shatobu is here to our rescue.  Now, I know … [Read more...]

Do you remember the first time you were romanced?  I remember the feeling, when I was a wide-eyed first-grader and received a valentine's day card from a young admirer.  I knew that I was too young for real romance, but I sure enjoyed that feeling.  Back when Valentine cards really meant a kid had a crush on you.
