It’s certainly not aesthetically perfect, this room which joins onto our kitchen.

It's a great new type of co-sleeper that swivels a full 360 degrees so parents can get in and out of bed more easily (great for c-sections). The height adjustment works well for different bed sizes and a baby up to 30lbs can sleep safely in the BassiNest. Safety is a big issues with this product, as with all Halo products. The sides are all mesh for easily ventilation and the BassiNest actually sits over the bed and has an easy folding side wall for access to the baby.

    (First, I would like to pause and acknowledge the fact that this was a choice – whether to be pregnant again or not – and in writing this, I am acutely aware of those who do not have that choice. My love to all of you.) After the arrival of my firstborn, life kept up it’s hectic, messy schedule for us for a while. Our son was ill as an infant, and we spent a lot of time at doctor’s appointments, often getting talked down to because not only were we new at this, but we were on Medicaid – US government paid healthcare, which is it’s own book, but tends to be…

    Traveling by various modes of transportation turns into a vivid realm of endless discovery whenever your baby watches this wonderfully created Baby Einstein On the run movie. It is a known proven fact that cars, buses, motorboats, trucks, trains and planes frequently fascinate young children. Children’s contact with these large transportation automobiles might be restricted to a couple of vehicle outings per week, also it usually takes some time to allow them to begin knowing what each vehicle can be used for and just how it will get came from here to there.

    Based on the 2000 U.S. Census, the typical American family members have 1.86 children. Possibly you, much like me, haven’t determined how one handles to possess .86 of the child. All I understand is the fact that we’d whole children and lots of them. It wasn’t within the original existence plan to possess a large family. Basically had known on my small big day which i might have twelve children I would have run screaming within the other way. Fortunately we come to be our future, and also the children were born individually. The very first four children were born in under 4…

Here’s why: This post is about….sleep training (gasp!). People are so incredibly polarized on this issue, and I can completely understand why. I get it. I really do. On the one hand, some people are of the mindset that sleep training may hinder a child’s emotional development or attachment with his or her parents, that allowing a child to cry causes undue stress on the child, and that when a baby cries during…

  • 4 All-Natural Teething Remedies

    30 Apr 2013 | 12:05 pm
    I’ll admit it. When my kids were teething, I went straight for the Tylenol. Maybe I should have been more hesitant when it came to giving medication*, but I figured both my babies were fussy at the best of times, and I was shooting for instant gratification (well, instant relief). But I know many of you think twice about giving any type of pain medication, and rightly so. Although it’s tempting (especially at night), there are a few drawbacks to whipping out the Baby Advil willy-nilly: Unnecessary dyes and chemicals Potential for inadvertent overdose It can take up to an hour to…

    25 Apr 2013 | 5:55 pm
    Aside from the medical and developmental scales we use to understand babies, there is a language we can learn that lets us decode exactly what babies are telling us. They have a stealth language that is designed to draw us in so that we listen very closely to what words and thoughts fail to do. Babies speak in the language of the body. They talk to us through movement, sound and facial expressions. Our job, as adults and caregivers is to become attuned to their subtle language. Babies know what they are feeling; often they are telling us a story from their experiences inside the womb and at…

  • Get Your Baby Sleeping Through the Night….By The End of the Week!

    Holly

    Do any of the following sound familiar? Your little one: Seems unable to soothe himself to sleep: This means that up until now, you may have needed to rock, nurse, pat, or swing your baby to sleep. Takes short naps: When you do manage to get her to nap, she wakes up after 20-45 minutes and won’t go back to sleep (although she obviously needs to!). Wakes frequently at night: Wakes up 3-12 times at night, and needs elaborate soothing to fall back asleep. Wakes up super-early in the morning and won’t go back to sleep: Some high need babies wake at 4-5am and are ready to start the day.

Reese looked casual and relaxed in her straw fedora, pink t-shirt and brown jacket.  No sign of Deacon’s big sister Ava at the weekend game, but perhaps she hid from the prying cameras.  Ava has grown so much, we probably looked right by her in the thumbnail pics!   Photos by…

    1 May 2013 | 9:24 pm
    At the request of some Instagram friends (where I spend most of my time these days) I am blogging this ah-mazing recipe. My favourite treat when we go to the Farmer's Market is a very expensive plate of fish tacos. I've been nervous to try my hand at it, but I am so glad I did. I daresay these are even better. I love the extra crunch of the almonds on the fish, and the lighter flavour when it's baked as opposed to fried. First, Hunter and I decided to make our own corn tortillas. Daddy has been working late the past few weeks and it helps pass a little time while we wait for him to get home.

I like the look of matchy trees, but I really love the look of our tree full of treasured ornaments in all shapes and shades. It reminds me of my childhood, and how much I loved pulling out each ornament and remembering the story behind it. For that reason, I buy a new ornament each year to symbolize that year.

  • Asparagus and Eggs – Two Ways

    Heather
    20 May 2013 | 10:23 pm
    My latest food crush grows in ditches and tastes like summer. I always hated asparagus growing up, but have come to really like it as an adult. In my early married years I tried baking it a few times, and even enjoyed success with it when I had it smothered in sauces. My white Béchamel Mornay cheese sauce was a favorite. However, I usually ended up with asparagus that dried out, so I never could understand why people loved it so much. Once I started pan-frying it in butter, my entire perspective changed. Or maybe I just grew up a little. Or my taste buds matured. Who knows? I ended up with a…

    OH HAI there! It’s been a while since we just had some over-the-fence neighborly talk. They say that random posts aren’t allowed, but for people who thrive on random (like my bunny-trail loving self), I beg to differ. My brain has been on lists lately. End of school lists, grocery and pantry inventory lists, house refinance paperwork lists, to-do lists… Take today for instance… it’s the last day of Spanish class for my kids. We’re meeting at the park for them to put on a puppet show in Spanish. I have no idea what we’re taking for our picnic. Which is…

    I’ve been invited to be a part of a number of really cool campaigns that companies create to reach out to the public. This week’s campaign is one of those that rates high on the “COOL FACTOR”. I get to tell you about the Microsoft Store, today – and to offer my readers a 100$ Microsoft Store gift card (P.S. they sell Xboxes, Microsoft Points Cards for gamers, and Windows Phones there). I appologize in advance that the post is long, but I promise you’ll learn something cool about Microsoft Stores that you probably don’t know… and even if you love…

  • Authentic Italian Risotto with Chicken and Rosemary

    Heather
    11 May 2013 | 8:39 am
    Risotto is one of those mouth-watering comfort foods that you just have to love. It’s like a glorified chicken and rice dish that is all grown up. It may not be that pretty, but hardly a grain is left in the pan after everyone fights for the last spoonful. I learned how to make it from a friend who’s husband is from Italy. That would explain the “authentic” part of my title. Real people from Italy are great cooks. No lie. This risotto recipe is with chicken, a bit of rosemary, a dash of garlic salt and white wine. However, there are as many risotto recipes as there are…

    Nancy Man
    21 May 2013 | 2:00 am
    “I like being the only Ailsa I know,” says Ailsa, a 59-year-old from Swansea in South Wales. Ailsa also likes the sound of her name, and appreciates its Scottish roots. (The name is a reference to Ailsa Craig, an island off the west coast of Scotland.) How common is the baby name Ailsa?

    The Gender Test: Girl Names Yesterday was the masculinity test, so today, of course, is the femininity test. Here’s the focus question: Which girl names were given to a significant proportion of baby boys last year? If you’re looking for a name that will clearly identify your daughter as a girl, the answer will help you avoid names that could cause gender confusion. This year’s femininity test is even easier to understand, as I’m now using a pass/fail system. So, if a girl name was… Given to baby girls at least 80% of the time, the grade is pass.

I’m talking specifically about how the name is being used nowadays. The question I’m asking is: Which boy names were given to a significant proportion of baby girls last year?

This time around, I’m making the masculinity test even simpler by sticking to…

  • The Truth About Elizabeth

    Queen ElizabethThe Daily Mail wonders whether Queen Elizabeth, who “received a lot of exposure last year, due to the Jubilee celebration of her 60-year reign, as well her presence at the London Olympics,” has anything to do with the baby name Elizabeth being back in the U.S. top 10. I can’t speak to the Queen Elizabeth part — perhaps she did influence a lot of expectant parents here last year — but I’d like to throw in my two cents about the top 10 part. Because “top 10″ makes it sound like the name Elizabeth has become more popular. It…

Relationship capacity Items 1-3 are Intrapersonal  Items 4-5 are Interpersonal.  The more intra personal traits and skills we have (understanding ourself) the more capable we are of the interpersonal traits and skills (understanding others.)

    Ever think about your "needs"?  A need is not a preference it is a must.  According to Abraham Maslow, there is a hierarchy of human needs. Whether in regards to work, relationships, team efficiency, life... I'm going to state these in regards to being part of a family. These needs can be applied to any walk of life.

    Expect the unexpected and I mean that mostly in a positive way.  You know those great day dreaming thoughts in your head, the "wishful" thinking that a certain phone call or opportunity will come along. Then the old negative thoughts can creep in and down you go!  My suggestion is to think, the positive exciting, the thrilling, the possible can happen - so, can the negative.  My focusing on the positive potential, the excitement of what that will feel like, is so much more rewarding than focusing on the negative...and, often the positive happens for me. I believe in having…

There's many times we might wish to respond - to be able to pause before saying or doing something.  You might try the five R's React: Realizing you wish to not "react" Refrain: Hold back from saying or doing something right away. Reword: Reword in your head what you really wish to say. Respond: This allows you to respond - to say or do what you really wanted to Regain: Regain your composure and begin to feel better…

    Little did I know when I wrote the last blog on April 17th, that we would lose a friend unexpectedly and instantaneously.  The shock of that and the reality is a powerful punch.  Our emotions rise up in total disconnect that it can't be true, yet it sits there naked and true. Grief is a complicated process...it comes to visit whether it's a death or a loss of another kind.  Emotions rush in like a tsunami, with a force unpredictable and powerful.  They ebb out and leave behind the remains and representation of that force.  Hidden within that powerful tidal wave is the…

    Latest Updates from Stroller-Envy | Best Baby Strollers Blog

  • Chicco Updated

    3 May 2013 | 6:22 am
    Chicco has made some recent changes to their line of budget to mid-range strollers. They no longer carry the Trevi full-featured stroller with the umbrella handles as well as the S3 all-terrain stroller. They have, however, come out with the Liteway Plus. The original Liteway is one of my favorite mid-range umbrella strollers. It looks sleek and modern with the single wheels and I love the colors. The Liteway Plus is designed in the exact same way, but made to accommodate an infant car seat! Demand is there for lightweight travel systems. Gone are the days of the whale-sized full strollers…

It is also 1.5" narrower than the 2012 version. This all-terrain/jogging stroller has all-wheel suspension with 16" rear tires for a smooth ride and superb maneuverability. Parents love such features as the swivel front wheel that locks into place for jogging stability, the tether strap and hand brake for safety. Consumers want to know the difference between the Summit X3, the BOB Revolution and the Baby…

  • New Joovy Roo and Twin Roo

    2 Apr 2013 | 6:50 am
    Did you ever think that a stroller frame could look and function differently? Joovy has done it! The new Roo and Twin Roo are unique in several ways and the first, most obvious is the way that the car seat sits in the frame, as you can see from the photo (car seat not included with purchase). The sideways mount is better for restaurant sittings or when it is time to feed the baby, you can parallel park and not have the handle get in the way. The Roo base width is wider than other standard car seat stroller frames to add better stability. Smaller six-inch rubber wheels enable better…

  • Introducing Mountain Buggy

    30 Mar 2013 | 7:36 am
    Originating in New Zealand in 1992, Mountain Buggy strollers were created by a couple of parents who wanted something agile enough to handle the rugged mountain trails they liked to explore with their baby. They designed a stroller themselves, a buggy that could handle the rough trails and steep hills that they liked to hike. A lightweight, yet sturdy frame like a quality backpack, is essential for hitting the trails. Ergonomically designed handles and seat give both parent and child comfort while using. And safety for both baby and parent is the most important aspect. Mountain Buggy puts…

    Mother’s Day is a great holiday, in fact I would not mind it if it was more than once a year.  It could also be called international Mommy sleep-in day.   And a good one in my case as Elena decided to get up at 6:30 today.  I dusted off my sleeping in skills, and rolled out of bed around 11 to be greeted with a cappucino and two slices of cake.  The cake is still sitting on the table as it looked a bit rich for breakfast.  Each time Elena sees it she says “Happy Birthday Mama”. It’s been a long time dear readers, and a hectic spring.  Elena was in the hospital,…

We just spent a week in the hospital, Elena had bronchitis-pneumonia.  It was awful and scary. Now we are home, and I have the worst sore throat like there is a creaky hinge where my throat once was,  and I also have Elena’s e eye infection.   I am hoping the healing qualities of the onion vapor will sink down my eras to my sinuses.  Meanwhile Elena is running around the house opening every bag, box and drawer she can find.  As we had been gone…

And like the wicked witch who wanted to make nightmares come true, I too was won over by dancing princesses, Mickey and Donald. This morning I told Elena: get ready for the funnest day of your life. Fresh for fun. We spent the day in the Magic Kingdom, and seeing it through the eyes of a two-year-old is a perfect thing to do. We hit the rides without height limits and caught all the shows with talking…

The Keys are string of islands connected by 42 bridges and highways at the very tip of Florida.  Cuba is just 90 miles across the pond.  The water is green blue like the Caribbean. It is a wonderful place. We spent hours on this perfect porch. Coffee tastes best on the dock. We stayed on Summerland Key, and just the name sounds magical.  It is not…

    My last pregnancy I felt .. well … DUMB and this pregnancy, honestly no words can describe this feeling – could it be left over from my last pregnancy or is it possible it’s accumulating I find myself saying over and over to friends, family and even clients “can I blame it on my baby brain” and it’s no joke .. IT’S REAL!!! Recently I got a call from a girlfriend  who I shared my frustrations with and she told me that there were articles about baby brain/pregnancy brain being an actual problem for pregnant women. She sent it to me and of course I had…

    27 Apr 2013 | 3:15 pm
    My blog is about testing products and when I love them, sharing it with all my readers. I really don’t post on products I have never tried, however this post about Colief Infant Drops is one exception and there is a reason for this exception (and NO I am not being paid in any way for this post, I was however sent the product to try out). If your a mother or father of a baby with colic, you will understand when I say that you look for ANY solution humanly possible to help! I tried two types of baby carriers (the Bjorn and the Kangaroo) which was a temporary solution … walking…

    23 Apr 2013 | 6:12 pm
    This is by far one of my favorite recipes! It’s a yummy quinoa salad that is great as a side dish or for the lighter eaters, it can be a full meal. My husband NEVER had quinoa before and I made him try this and now he said he would eat it everyday. It’s super easy to make (for real … this is coming from someone who really doesn’t know how to cook and I make this all the time) 1/4 cup of lime juice or lemon juice (i use lemon juice)2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce1 tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon honey *if you put the olive oil in the measuring spoon before the…

  • Celebrating Mothers' Day 2013

    14 May 2013 | 9:38 pm
    Bonjour! Oui, c'est moi. Just popping in to thank you so much for your heartfelt responses to my last post. Please know how much your words lifted my spirits. However, it threw the cat amongst the pigeons for some so I edited it and some comments - life's complicated enough right now.  Anyway, onto lighter news. Here are some highlights of my Mothers' Day 2013. Having a photo of me with the pixies is such a treat. Bed hair and all! They helped Mr PB whip up some scrambled eggs and bacon. Mmm! Here's Joshie's card spelling out Mothers' Day. Bless him. I've never been called…

  • Feeling tired and tongue-tied

    27 Apr 2013 | 5:59 am
    Source Hello lovely Planetarians. I am really struggling here. This popping-my-head-back-over-the-parapet business to restart blogging is confounding me. For the first time ever, I don't know where to start. The challenges life has been throwing us lately have left me unsteady on my feet. And this bloggy caper, which always came so readily to me before, is no longer familiar territory. I miss it. And I miss you, too. I don't mean that in a melodramatic, overly familiar way. I mean it most genuinely. I treasure the support you Planetarians gift to me, in so many ways and places. I…

I'll let the photos do the talking. The Great Easter Egg Hunt Here's Miss India with her bounty. And Joshua. Followed by Sam, saying "Cheese!" as only he can! Here are the assembled hunters.

  • And joy rushes in: the lowdown on Planet Joy

    28 Mar 2013 | 4:32 pm
    Ahem. Getting back into the bloggy saddle is proving harder than I anticipated! Life here is still a hard struggle at the moment so my energy reserves are finite. I can't blog like I used to. However, I want to resume regular life back here as I miss you all. So I'll keep up these shorter posts with that aim for the next little while, okay? Now, time to fill you all in on recent Planet Joy happenings!  The past 5 months have flashed by. I've had some welcome successes, numerous efforts and a few disappointing fizzers. All part of the mix when setting up a craft business, I…

    16 Mar 2013 | 4:12 am
    Oh my word. Thankyou ever so much for your warm welcome back to Blogland. I have been staggered by your interest and kindness. It has really buoyed my spirits. I'll respond to your comments shortly - I'm still finding my bearings a little. So, the next catchup post is about the pixies starting school and daycare for 2013. I relish taking photos of them to mark the occasion. They'll be a treasured family series once they've all left school. So in keeping with my new habit of shorter, more photographic posts, I present these beauties to you. Joshua was so proud to be the leader of the gang…

    15 Apr 2013 | 11:41 am
    When Katie sent baby photos 0f baby Evan I was instantly charmed. Evans looks all snug in his stripy sleep suits captured by Katie Drouet Photography. Baby Evan has such a expressionful face whether it is happy or not so happy! One of the few times in life one can look adorably angry! Katie has a lovely photography style and I am not surprised mummy and daddy fitted a photo shoot in while they were back in Suffolk visiting family. Tell us about your baby photos of Evan, Katie? I recently took this little boy Evan’s photos who was six and half weeks old at the time. Evan’s mum is…
