I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. How much water do you drink? What type of water do you drink? What’s in your water? These are definitely things I like…
So few baby products are geared exclusively towards guys these days. We have boppy pillows, baby slings, skin-to-skin carriers….all of which are marketed to women. I can’t remember the last time I saw a guy with a boppy around his waist snuggling with his newborn baby. So, without further adieu, allow me to introduce you…
The words “back to school” elicit one of two reactions. If you’re a teacher, it is often a sense of dread that summer vacation is almost over, mixed with the excitement of meeting new students. If you’re a mom, it is an overwhelming sense of relief that brings with it a teensy bit of guilt for…

One of my favorite memories from childhood are these crazy indoor pop-up tents that my sister and I each got for Christmas one year. I’m not exactly sure what my parents were thinking because our living room definitely was not big enough for two of those tents, but we made it work! And they were…
What do you pack your child’s lunch in or a snack to go? Is it plastic? I try not to use plastic as much as possible. My new found favorite is silicone. I found it at Kinderville. Kinderville® offers innovative, functional and safe products for your little ones. With a focus on quality and the…
Do you find that you are in your car a lot? Probably more so when school is in. Do you travel often? We travel quite a bit and we are in the car a lot. Trying to find a good head support for my daughter was difficult. Being introduced to benbat and their travel friends,…
This is my first summer being a mom of three. In just a few short weeks, my eldest daughter will be a full-time kindergartner and my son will be in “three-school” two days a week, leaving just me and my (almost) 1-year old baby girl to spend some quality time together. My overloaded and overworked…
It’s summer in Michigan…ahhhh! I honestly LOVE this time of year! This year has been a great summer, with the exception of one VERY hot week. I was introduced to the most perfect product for me, for this summer. We moved in to our new home last fall. With that came all the appliances, but…
