I really am trying.  I’d love to live a greener life, but that means too much change and too many upfront costs right now.  Instead, I do what I can and try to be a little more future friendly...

So you’ve decided to offer your baby a great, healthy start by breastfeeding.  You are thrilled that you won’t have to fumble in the darkness making late night bottles.  And cheers to less dishes to wash! But don’t forget,...

Time to shine the spotlight onto our oldest furbaby, Freckles.  He is a big baby.  A 16 pound tabby who likes to cuddle. But I think he’s getting a little jealous of all the lap time Rissa gets.  I think...

I have found in the past that when I’m feeling at my wit’s end about something – no matter how big or small – writing about it helps.  It helps me release the tension and emotions surrounding my issue....

Rissa is definitely trying to work on her verbal skills.  She makes some odd sounds, but it’s fun to watch  her face.  When she has her mouth opened wide, ‘yelling,’ I can see her tongue moving around, affecting the...

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Big Event Fundraising. I remember school fundraisers when I was a kid – selling pizzas, gift wrap, and candy.  I remember it felt like a chore and I couldn’t...

So most of you know that we switched to cloth diapers in January.  Naturally my next step is switching to cloth wipes, right?  Much like cloth diapers, there are more cloth choices than I thought. They are made with various...
