If you’re like me you’ll drink diet coke in front of your kids but forbid them from ever having a sip because of the aspartame/ caffeine/ carbonation. I’m not a big fan of a lot of juice boxes marketed to kids either because the #1 ingredient is almost always sugar, {and heaven knows P gets more than enough of that at school}. What’s the solution for kids who are thirsty for something other than plain old H2O, especially as the…

Lynette Damir, {a mother and RN} created these amazing swaddling blankets with built in instructions after finding out her friends and family needed a little guidance in the swaddling department. I remember very well after P was born, having the nurses in the hospital show me over and over again how to bundle P up just right until she resembled a little baby burrito. These blankets are just the right dimensions to help you do the job perfectly once you’re…

I am officially in love with Radius toothbrushes. They are so soft on your teeth & easy to hold {not just for kids, they’re great for those of us who have swollen hands in the morning as well}. Not only that, the handles are made from a 100% renewable resource {Nebraska maize}, the heads are replaceable {less waste} and they are available for lefties as well as the right handed majority. So cool. They’re completely reasonably priced as well, {the…

I was a scrapbooker once upon a time. Before P was old enough to walk. After that I went to scrapbook stores and spent loads of money on adorable things, only to stash all my loot in the basement, never to see the light of day. I have SUCH mommy guilt over the whole thing. P has at least three scrapbooks completely filled with every event in her tiny little life. C, not so much. Storytime Pastels $7.50 This clever…

I had such good intentions of making my own baby food. I bought the little trays to freeze purees in, I read some books. But I must admit that I’ve done it only once or twice. Poor Jasper. I’ve been buying organic jars of baby food, which purport to be healthier than traditional styles, but they still taste awful. Watered-down, overcooked and bland. Shouldn’t our kids be eating things that taste good? I found some frozen organic baby food cubes…

Linus would approve. $56. 36″x36″ Blanket {via…
