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...
Maternity photos are a big deal these days, and if you choose to have professional photos taken, it’s an investment to capture a special time in your life. So, if you’re going to have them done, you want to make sure you get photographs that will serve as lasting, beautiful memories you can always look back on. I never went “all out” on photos, either times I was pregnant, and I kinda sorta wish that maybe I had… But — in the interest of those of you who are making sure you don’t let this moment...

If you are a frequent air traveler, whether it be for work or pleasure, the (travel) game changes a bit when you grow your family with children. There’s so much more to pack and consider when toting a tot, and while you can bring them along as a lap child until they reach the age of 2, what are the rules when you have to get them their own seat!?! For me, I had pretty much thought I would just stop flying during the “assumed’ period when you have to lug a huge car seat onto the plane in order for them to fly in their...
I recently took my boys to attend a “Choo Choo Train” themed birthday party for one of our neighborhood friend’s who turned 2! I’m sure this is a popular young boys theme for a birthday, and this one did not disappoint. One of the things that really impressed me is how Johnny’s Mom turned a highrise “community club room,” into a virtual indoor party-play space for the youngin’s! She brought in a variety of train-related toys and created (train) stations for the different play areas…how...
