A bib is a bib is a bib right!?!? WRONG! Sure, we use them on our little ones to catch all the excess drool or to attempt and make feeding time a little less messy…but somehow, sometimes, whatever we were trying to avoid is unavoidable! Well, I came across a very cool take on the traditional bib. It’s trendy, functional, unique, reversible and handmade. Did I mention this bib is also eco-friendly and easy to wash!?!?! It’s called Maddy Wear and I came across it after a good friend of mine raved about how GREAT it is!! ...

Washable and waterproof are the two keywords that caught my attention when checking out “The pediped Footwear System.” Up until now, my main concerns when finding footwear for my son has been color, style and fit. So, now that I’ve had the chance to put a pair of pediped’s to the test, I’m realizing there’s so much more to consider when (out)fitting your baby’s feet! I mentioned earlier that “washable” caught my attention when it came to this brand of shoes…I mean once you hit...

My youngest son and I recently played the “starring” roles in a video created for a crowd funding campaign. The project seeking funding is a vehicle child safety seat called “ANEIROS.” All too often we hear about (preventable) tragedies where a child is mistakenly left behind in a hot car, and ends up losing their life as a result of vehicular heat stroke… Well, the ANIEROS is designed to save those children. It effectively integrates with a vehicles alarm and electrical wiring, giving it the capability to...

I have a couple girlfriend’s who I’ve known since childhood and we all happened to give birth within a six week span last year, so this year, as our babies grow, we are able to share and maneuver through some of the “baby steps” together! So, as our babies crossed the 6 months mark and began taking in “solids,” I get this random text with a photo and link attached to it for the NUK Mash & Serve Bowl. My friend went on to say how much she had already fallen in love with hers and how easy it is to...

For a first time parent, when it comes time to think about the “feeding” options for an arriving newborn, and how to properly accomplish the task with success, having all the right bottles, pumps, nipples, warmers, sterilizers, etc… It can be very overwhelming. Sure, you see lots of ads and brand names may sound familiar, but you really don’t know what is going to work and/or be right for the baby until you can actually try the various methods and products for feeding! In my case, I did a little research and thought...

Post written by Daniella M. for 53 weeks I was given the Joovy 360 jogging stroller as a gift from my brother and sister-in-law when my daughter was born in 2012. This stroller was my salvation! It helped me keep my sanity AND loose that extra baby weight in about 4 months. I have to mention that another contributing factor to the weight loss was that I was able to nurse. Ultimately, she refused the bottle, so what was initially intended as 6 months of nursing turned into a year.  This is a lifetime for a runner, and delayed my ability...
