Even before having my children, I knew I wanted them to use a pacifier. Both Emmitt and Carlee are my pacifier kids- we call them binkys in our house. Ethan hated them and would not take one. Oddly enough, I was only able to breastfeed Ethan for 5 months, yet my binky baby Carlee nursed for 14 months until she weaned herself and Emmitt is still going strong. There are so many choices out there for good binkys, and to be honest, your child is going to decide which one they prefer. When packing for the hospital with Emmitt, the only binky I packed was the GumDrop from Hawaii Medical. I am pleased to … [Read more...]
Graco – Secure Coverage Digital Baby Monitor
March 10, 2011 by 2 Comments
Graco is not a new name in my home. Actually most of my baby items are Graco! I was recently sent the Graco Secure Coverage Monitor which is noted to have crystal clear digital connection, so you can clearly hear even the quietest whisper, without fear of interference from your phone or wireless network or microwave, or all the other wonderful things in your home that interfere with a monitor! Something brand new to me and Graco is the vibration technology. Sometimes, as a parent, you learn to block your child out. Be honest, you just do! Graco has added a vibration option (sounds just like a cell … [Read more...]

I do not own very many pieces of jewelry. My jewelry collection consists of my wedding bands, a bangle my husband got me for Valentine’s Day last year, and just recently I have been adding mother’s jewelry. If you search the internet you will find tons of sites that make necklaces for moms, but not many that make bracelets. Belly Charms, not only makes bracelets, Sonya owner and designer makes amazing mother’s bracelets! I was so excited when Sonya agreed to let me review her mother’s bracelet; that I literally made my husband agree that night on a name for baby number three, so I could place my … [Read more...]

Did you know that most doctors recommend barefoot walking or a soft leather shoe for growing feet? Have you searched stores for these types of shoes ever? You won’t find many shoes like this, unless you stumble upon Pediped! Pediped creates footwear that most closely resembles the natural shape of a baby’s foot. The Originals most closely mimic barefoot walking. When children learn to walk they tend to shuffle, so rubber soles or shoes with grip, force children to change their natural stride and can actually make them trip. Originals have a durable, slip-resistant leather sole. They’re roomy so the … [Read more...]
Undercover Mama

Nursing your baby where you want, when you want is something I strongly believe in. Another thing I also believe in, is that after three kids, my tummy is NOT something other people want to see! I cannot nurse my child, by flopping my boob over my shirt. I have seen many mothers successfully do this, but I just cannot. I have to nurse under my shirt, which means the entire time I am nursing my sides are exposed to the world. The Undercover Mama tank makes it so that I can feed my baby under my shirt, without showing off my flab. The Undercover Mama is a strapless camisole that attaches right to my … [Read more...]
