Car Seat Safety

by Alma August 17, 2009Travel

Little O is not so little. At his 6 month checkup, he weighed 21 lbs and measured 28.5 inches tall. It was confirmation to me that he had reached the end of his infant carrier car seat days. (Our model went up to 20 lbs and 29 inches). While I’m happy about not having to [...]

blogher before, and after.

by Allison August 14, 2009Travel

This was me and Marie heading to BlogHer. We got up to leave from Salt Lake City at 4 a.m. and we thought we were so tired on the way there. I mean we were tired. Just not this tired: I look slightly hysterical. It’s like going into parenthood. You have no idea what you’re [...]

Healthy Media

by Kimberly August 13, 2009Family

During our last visit with Miss Kris of PAT, we learned that as my toddler approaches age 3, it’s important to expose him little by little to using the computer. It’s something I hadn’t really tackled, other than letting him click the mouse around the desktop, sans batteries. Thank goodness for toddler-friendly websites where we [...]

by Allison August 12, 2009Travel

So you know the party I’ve been talking about for months, the one I’ve been planning since February {yes, it took FIVE months to make it happen}?

For those of you with kids too young for school yet, look into your local chapter of the national Parents as Teachers program. Soon. We’ve been participating for nearly one year and have been really happy with our involvement. It’s so popular in my community there is a waiting list! In a nutshell, Parents as [...]

High Chair Debate

by Alma August 10, 2009Family

Little O has started eating solids, which is a great adventure. I didn’t know it could be this much fun. But something I’ve been procrastinating is finding the right high chair. For the first week or so, I’d just feed him in his Bumbo on the floor of the living room—until I realized how quickly [...]

weekend at catalina island.

by Allison August 9, 2009Travel

I’ve wanted to go to Catalina island for a long time. On a good day you can see its outline from Ruby’s in Huntington Beach, and it’s always held a bit of mystique and grandeur for me, so when I was invited to visit along with Marie and Ciaran’s families by the Santa Catalina Island [...]

SeaWorld San Diego.

by Allison August 9, 2009Travel

Victor already posted about P’s unbelievable experience of feeding Shamu at SeaWorld. It was crazy cool, and I wish they would open it up to choosing parents. I mean I have dreams too, right? Obviously so does C. They involve throwing himself into the open tank of water with Killer Whales but still, a boy [...]
