Radio Flyer Pack and Go Canopy Wagon: A Quiet and Comfy Ride
4 Jul 2009 | 7:00 amAfter two blocks into my first jaunt with the Radio Flyer Pack & Go Canopy Wagon I could see why moms have been toting kids in wagons for so many years. It’s a breeze to cart two kids (and their stuff) around in this amazing wagon. And to say the kids enjoy the ride would be an understatement. At first I was hesitant about a plastic wagon, thinking the classic steel and wood ones more to my liking. But the plastic has proven itself worthy again and again. Rain, spilled drinks, muddy feet… nothing gets the Radio Flyer Pack & Go Canopy Wagon ($150) down. And the wheels, though not… -
Darryl Worley on His Talkative Little Girl
4 Jul 2009 | 5:00 amBryan Bedder/Getty Singing may be Darryl Worley’s passion but his greatest joy is his 14-month-old daughter! Savannah Gail is described as “very advanced, a very smart baby girl. Just beautiful, red hair, blue eyes,” by her proud papa. The country singer is treasuring each new stage in Savannah’s life and is enjoying it when she has him on the floor laughing with her personality and vocabulary! “She says everything. You’ve gotta be careful because she doesn’t have a filter. She will just blurt it out,” says Darryl, adding that “she’s got about… -
The Name Game: Double Dare
3 Jul 2009 | 3:00 pmSome expectant parents are fortunate enough to quickly and easily settle on a name for baby-on-the-way, but more often than not, the decision is one that is agonized over. Imagine, then, doubling that agony — with twins! That was the challenge facing Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, who welcomed twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Ewell 11 days ago. While the reaction by CBB readers to their choice in names ran the gamut, nameberry.com co-founder Linda Rosenkrantz notes that the couple are “just the latest in the bumper crop of twin starbabies to be born in…

Mommy & Me Hair Clips by Lil? Sugarplum
4 Jul 2009 | 8:46 amI like the looks of these Mommy & Me Hair Clips made by Lil’ Sugarplum because they’re not so flowery like many hair accessories for children are.

I asked an angel to comfort you And watched her take your hand.* She told me you are in more pain Than I could ever be. She wiped her eyes and swallowed hard Then gave your hand to me. *Although you may not feel my touch Or see me by your side. I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried. *So ---- linkBinkyBlogs:: The best baby / infant and early child raising blog posts from around the webThe…

Creative and Easy Father’s Day Gifts
23 Jun 2009 | 7:08 pmFather’s Day is this week Sunday. Why not make something special for your baby’s daddy? A hand-made gift will surely be treasured more than any gift you could buy! Plus, these ideas aren’t time consuming, which is important when you have a baby! Born to be a Dad: A Special Layout I created this layout for my husband, Matthew, celebrating the many ways he loves our son, Elias. The photos were taken several months apart and have very different energy - one of Matthew kissing Elias right after he was born and one more recently of the two of them playing. The very different… -

Creating a Two Page Scrapbook Spread
8 Jun 2009 | 7:17 pmThere are times when you just have too much to say or scrapbook than will fit on one page. This is a great time to create a fun two page spread. But before you just start slapping pictures and decals onto the page, there are a few things you’ll need to consider. Theme Two page scrapbooking spreads work best with a theme, so choose a theme first and then work with it. Use photos that complete your theme. In the example here, I’ve used Water Fun as my theme and everything from the papers and colors to the photos work with that theme. Often, you can find entire kits based around common…

Booby-Trapped!
3 Jul 2009 | 7:44 amSo yesterday I was patting myself on the back. I was sitting on the couch nursing my baby and my daughter was playing happily a few feet away. I had remembered my glass of water and was just about to pick up my MOMS Club handbook for reading material(I am the president this year). I've got the two kids thing handled, I thought to myself. I think I even smiled smugly. Then(pause for dramatic effect), my daughter decided to stir things up a bit. From out of nowhere she came and knocked my binder off the coffee table. My glass of water was of course, in front of the binder, so it fell down, too. -

Victoria's Secret Nursing Bra Test
21 Jun 2009 | 12:01 amThe title is not exactly true. I did not test the Victoria's Secret nursing bra for two reasons.1. They do not have them in stores.2. They are too expensive to order online, based on the reviews I have seen.I attempted last week to try Victoria's Secret's nursing bra. The ones they used to make were sexier, but the new plain ones are still pretty cute. I tried two stores in person and one over the phone. Two of the stores had no idea what I was talking about and one directed me to a maternity store. Now maybe it's just me, but I hate it when people equate nursing with maternity. Sure, that's…

Excusa Moi?
20 Jun 2009 | 7:11 amSo Connor is usually filled with sweet compliments when it comes to my clothing. Perhaps its because I have taken him on many a torture filled shopping trip but he is now a pretty good little shopper. His wife can thank me for that one later - he won't be wearing pleated khakis or sandals with socks. He has style and he isn't ashamed to pull out clothing and see how it will look on him in the mirror. He has a strong sense of fashion. In fact when he gets the opportunity to dress himself I am always impressed by his outfit choices. Just the other day he came down wearing blue athletic shorts,… -

Money & Making Change
19 Jun 2009 | 7:02 amThis might sound a little odd to you but my son really likes to learn. He is so curious about pretty much everything and is really proud of any knowledge he attains. Rock'n Learn is one of our favorite companies for learning DVD's and more often than not he will pick their videos over his cartoons. He is really into money right now but can't quite grasp the concept of what is worth what. The Money & Making Change DVD does a really good job of explaining the concept. The fun songs and easy to follow learning exercises make the whole process easy for him to start to grasp. He isn't ready to… -
Purex Complete 3 in 1 Laundry Sheets!
19 Jun 2009 | 6:42 amI don't know about you but when I do the laundry I have to add three separate products to my washer/dryer. First I add detergent & fabric softner to the wash and then I add a dryer sheet to the dryer. The new Purex Complete 3 in 1 Laundry Sheets take all those steps and narrow it down to one complete with anti-static. It so simple. You just place the sheet into your washer and it will release the detergent. Then when you transfer your clothing to the dryer you take the sheet along with you (like you really wanted to try and find it in that wet mess anyhow). The sheet will then become heat…

Mom Confessions: Postpartum Depression (part 2)
2 Jul 2009 | 7:17 amThis VIDEO (3:06) is the second in a series of three in which Heidi shares how it feels to have postpartum depression. One of the challenges of PPD is that it goes unrecognized by many women who suffer from it, making it challenging for them to reach out and find support. It is very rare that a new mom says, “I think I have postpartum depression.” More often and very often, women feel what Heidi describes in her videos. “In the weeks prior to going to the hospital, I was very emotional, very down. Crying a lot. I had stopped being able to take care of my newborn daughter. I… -
