Christmas is just around the corner and today I’m sharing a great gift idea for a wide range of those people who are still on your shopping lists. Adult coloring has become all the rage the past couple years and you can look just about anywhere to find coloring books themed for a million different…

Years ago, when I was expecting my first baby, a girlfriend of mine gave me the most practical baby shower gift I had ever received. A homemade travel changing pad. At the time, I didn’t know it, but that changing pad would be the single item I used the most for my first three babies….
Yesterday, I picked up the infant car seat that we will be using for baby #4. Something about having the car seat ready and waiting, takes the whole baby gig to a whole new level of reality! Maybe it’s just me, but as soon as the car seat was ready and in place for each…
