There are always must have items you get before you have your baby. Sometimes, I think there are items that you aren’t sure you will really need due to the fact that either you are on your 2nd or 3rd baby and you didn’t use it the first time around. Or a friend has said,…
To swaddle or not to swaddle, that is the question? There are times that I don’t have a clue what my baby wants. Does she want to be swaddled or not? Does she really hate it? It’s honestly hard to say. So, I swaddle her up even though she is crying and putting up a…
Strangely enough, I don’t ever remember my mom nagging me about making my bed when I was a child. But I also don’t remember making it each and every day. Then I went off to college and, because I always had a roommate, I remember making sure I tossed the covers back over the bed…

Pop. Sucker. Treat. Candy. These are the words my little guy says when we head out to the doctor’s office, the store, and church. Before I became a mom of a little one old enough to eat these treats, I never understood why people didn’t let their kids have a piece of candy when someone…
Nothing says ‘I love you!’ like a personalized gift. Zazzle is the perfect place to get products like this. While I typically do not plan ahead for birthdays and Valentine’s day, I was able to get ahead of the game this year with a few gifts. Our products let you… be you! We’re deeply passionate about…
