ParenthoodBecoming a mom was the very best thing that has ever happened to me. Becoming a mom of two, that was a little bit terrifying. Your big sister immediately filled a void in our lives that we didn’t know existed. She was our sun, our moon and all of the stars. Our world revolved around her. We always knew we …

I was convinced I would have boys. Since I didn’t anticipate having girls, I definitely didn’t think I’d be that mom who would be shopping for …
Two years ago for Christmas I got a new set of towels. Not just any old towels. Big, oversized, super soft bath sheets. You know, the kind you can wrap around yourself three times and never worry about what might be showing if you wrap it too high or too low. Ladies, you know the kind I’m talking about. …
Baby Gear, ParenthoodOne of the first things you probably added to your baby registry was a diaper bag. My personal favorite: the Convertible Backpack from NursElet, because two words: machine washable. I also love my ToteSavvy insert for when I want to carry one of totes I already own. Either way, you’ve got your bag…at least I assume you do, because why …

We got you a backpack to take back and forth to the sitter’s so you could be like the big kids. You’re more than ready for this. It’s not you I’m worried about. It’s me. Before …

I also pictured myself with little boys…so maybe that had something to do with it. But here we are, two little girls later, and I can’t get enough of the matching outfits. Mommy and me outfits usually come at …
Healthy Living, Parenthood, ReviewsHave you ever looked at the ingredient list on a package of baby wipes? How about disposable diapers? Or diaper rash cream? I didn’t start looking at these things until after Calista was a year old. The more moms I talked to, the more parenting groups I joined, the more reviews I read, the more educated I became about the …
ParenthoodMaternity leave doesn’t just benefit new mothers. It doesn’t just benefit the babies of those new mothers. It benefits everyone. Everyone. Yes, you, the college student, years away from having a family of your own. Yes, you, the single business executive who doesn’t ever plan to have children. Yes, you, the retired grandmother, long past your child-rearing years. You should …
ParenthoodI used to think that I was a difficult person to Christmas shop for. There isn’t anything that I collect. My closet is overflowing with clothes, candles and body lotion. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry and I don’t appreciate knick-knacks to put on my shelves. Actually, I don’t have shelves for this very reason. I don’t look at …
