Review: Reef Fanning sandal and Croc Sassari wedge
I’ve been a Reef wearer for years now, but always end up tossing my shoes not because they are worn out, but because my feet seem to get dirty the older the flips get. When I realized, recently, that my current favorite pair of Reefs (the Tigris) was two years old I decided it […]

Table-top Paper Shredder

Sing and Go Choo-Choo
When your children are babies you can buy toys when they are there with you, go home and wrap them up and give to them later. They act like they’ve never seen it before. That’s what happened when we were shopping with Grandma and my son. He saw the Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing and Go […]

Vibrating teething ring
Here’s another product that “I wish I’d had it earlier.” The Massaging Action Teether from The First Years is an excellent teething ring for babies and toddlers. I found it while searching Babies R Us for a softer teething ring during one of his “teething spells.” The rings we had seemed so hard; he wasn’t […]

Bath seat
Every time I say “I can’t live without [insert product name here]” I think, I need to blog. Tonight it was the Safety 1st bath seat. This is a great help at bath time with a baby who is at the in-between stage of bath time. You know, they’re too big for the sling/hammock-type infant tub, […]

Medela Quick Clean Bags
Cleaning bottle parts and nipples is a pain for sure, but sterilizing them is made easy with the Medela Quick Clean bags. You just toss the nipples, rings, breast pump parts, small bottles, then add 2 ounces of water, zip the bag up and zap in your microwave for 3 minutes. There’s a convenient “spout” […]

This post is for all those nursing moms and nursing moms-to-be. I never thought I’d make a post like this, seems a bit personal, but I think it can help a ton of moms out there. Breast pads, nursing pads, whatever you want to call them … they are a necessity for any nursing mother. BUT there […]
