This summer my son has been old enough to maybe “enjoy” the pool.  So the first time we tried out the baby pool in our neighborhood, it was more like a combination of a heart attack, panic attack and stress city combined into one for me.  After that day I went on the hunt for [...]

Win: You purchase designer babybuggy gear for cheap prices at your local Target.
Win: Target donates 10% of your purchase to needy familes.
Win: Your wee one looks all fancy pants and you feel good knowing you helped someone less fortunate.
The way I see it, we can’t lose here. Can’t lose at all.

I’m having a fall baby and in Texas it will, I’m sure, still be about 117 degrees. BUT, as it turns cooler and those little legs are dangling bare out of a onesie… I will for sure be reaching out for some of these. A-DOR-A-BLE.

I want a diaper bag that doesn’t really resemble a diaper bag, if you know what I mean. I want a cute purse like bag that can house both my crap and my child’s crap at the same. Maybe I won’t be able to carry around 18 lip glosses and 2 pairs of sunglasses  anymore, but I [...]

So, I’ve been having this little debate with my mother on baby gowns such as the ones below. My mom swears by them like they are the best thing since sliced bread or some type of miracle baby outfit that I can not and will not want to live without. See, sure she is experienced [...]
