I’m quite certain my car looks like it went through Hurricane Katrina — well, the inside of it at least. It’s one of those things that no one tells you when you have kids.
Your car will be a wreck. Get over it.
And then my daughter became a toddler and had to bring at least three [...]

Let’s face it. Who really buys burpcloths? A few people gave me a package of crappy cloth diapers and I thought I was set. And for the most part, they did the trick. But then again, I was a new mom, and I didn’t know any better. There were no burp cloth testers or better, [...]

“Common sense is not so common.”  - Voltaire
We know what we should and shouldn’t do, both for ourselves and for our children.  That doesn’t mean we always do it, but I’d bet that most of us make the effort most of the time.
Good Kids Bad Habits is about making the effort.  It’s not about achieving [...]

I almost never get nostalgic for those pre-walking, pre-talking days.  Potty-trained kids who speak in complete sentences - that’s more my speed.  But there really is something magical about seeing the wonder and delight in a baby’s eyes as they explore and discover.  So I have to admit that I really enjoyed reading the blogger reviews - [...]

You can’t escape the research that says “start ‘em young” and for the most part, I imagine many of us roll our eyes — yet another thing for us to worry about, right? However, when it comes to communication and making life easier, I’m all for it. I’m not a baby whisperer by any means [...]

Sure. Pick up that raisin and eat it — it’s only been on the ground for four seconds!
Works for me.  After all, isn’t it the FIVE-second rule?
While I’d like to credit my older daughter’s exceptional health to all the instances in which we’ve strengthened her immune system through the consumption of food that has spent [...]

If you’ve got a collection of shirt shoulders covered in spit-up, then the Burpcatcher might just be what you (and your wardrobe) have been waiting for. We’ve all done our share of gasping, grabbing, and dare I say, gagging when our little one decides to give back what we have given them. And while some folks [...]

Girl Con Queso
1. When did you start blogging and why? I just started blogging last July.  I’d resisted starting one for a few years because, frankly, it seemed like too much of a commitment to me (and I’ve been known to walk 40 miles out of the way to avoid commitment).  However, over the last [...]
