Ju-Ju-Be Paci Pods: Never Lose a Pacifier Again!

Maybe I’ve been living in the dark ages for far too long, but I recently came across the Ju-Ju-Be Paci Pod and immediately wondered two things:  Why didn’t I think of this? and Why didn’t anyone tell me about these?  I think we’ve probably all been there before…desperately digging around the bottom of the diaper bag [...]

The Best BIG Diaper Bag for Your Budget

Whether you’ve got multiple small children, twins or multiples, or are simply an over-packer, you may be on the search for a large capacity diaper bag.  In less than 2 months, my husband and I will enter the “two kids under 2″ Club, and we’re already feeling the pressure to upgrade from our daddy-friendly Skip [...]

Burt’s Bees Cocoa and Macadamia Nut Body Butter Review: The Stretch Mark Cure?

Developing stretch marks are never a welcome sight to see, even when having the excuse of being pregnant.  In my previous post “How to Prevent Stretch Marks During Pregnancy“, I shared the frustrating news that my doctor gave me: Stretch marks are genetic, and there is no amount of moisturizer that will keep them from [...]

Free Pampers Gift to Grow Codes and Points

If you’re a Pampers fan, you are probably well aware of their Gifts to Grow points program.  However, did you know that there are a lot of free promotional codes available?  In recent times, I have collected over 300 free Gifts to Grow points, which has brought me that much closer to redeeming the prize [...]

Moby Wrap vs. Sleepy Wrap: Which is Better?

There is no doubt about it:  I loved using my Moby Wrap when my son was an infant.  Now that he’s a toddler, I handed my Moby over to my sister-in-law to use with her baby girl.  And what do you know?  She loves it too!  But now that we’re expecting baby #2 soon, I was [...]

Eczema and Pregnancy: Aveeno Eczema Therapy Review

My second pregnancy has wreaked havoc on my eczema.  Thank you, pregnancy hormones!  Usually, my eczema breakouts were very mild and were rather quickly healed up using a simple steroid cream.  However, pregnancy turned my mild eczema into a permanent cycle of moderate to severe breakouts that lasted for months.  Despite religiously using the steroid cream, [...]

Annoucing Baby #2

I am happy to announce that my husband and I are officially expecting Baby #2!  In a previous post, I wrote about trying for a second baby.  It took a few months after I quit breastfeeding to get my period again, but I only had 2 cycles before I realized we were pregnant again!  Watching [...]

Trying for a Second Baby

Well, my husband and I finally had “the talk”.  We both had been beating around the bush for quite some time as to when we’d try for baby #2, but the conversation eventually surfaced.  I had secretly been hoping that we’d try for another baby in the near future, but I wasn’t sure how my [...]

The Trained Night Crier vs. The Cry it Out Method

After visiting my son’s pediatrician at his 9 month appointment, she told me that my son was a “trained night crier”.  She came to this conclusion after I told her my son wakes several times during the middle of the night, but not because he is hungry.  I try to feed him but he simply [...]

Treating Penile Adhesions for Baby

My son had his 9 month well-child check the other day.  He is very healthy and his growth chart is looking great!  He is 95th percentile for height!  However, there was one thing we had to address; his circumcision.  For some reason, he has formed penile adhesions where the skin has grown back together.  I hadn’t [...]
