I was horrible at using the blanket to swaddle, and had a little bit of luck with the sleepsacks that had swaddle pieces attached. Somehow her arms always got loose. Then I found Love To Dream's solution to this problem...the  Love To … [Read more...]

When it  comes to keeping baby safe in their crib the doctors and experts have many rules. No blankets...no stuffed animals and the big one. No bumpers! They make breathable bumpers which I had for my son, but they certainly aren't aesthetically pleasing. Wonder Bumpers are different. They make your child's crib safe and comfortable, and they look … [Read more...]

Breastfeeding is not really the easiest choice, and sometimes the steps it takes to allow someone else to feed your child, or even if you just need a break and want to pump is daunting.

With your body constantly changing it is important to have a bra that can be worn all day and allow you to easily nurse your baby comfortably. The bras by bravado!

As a new mom you quickly realize that babies like to be held, and if we are being honest that doesn't change as your child gets older. My son is now over 3 1/2 and he still wants to be carried as much as possible. This can be tough on the arms and back. That is where the new MiaMily HIPSTER can come to the rescue. With HIPSTER, you will get to … [Read more...]

Oh how I love 7:00pm. Its bathtime! It means our day is really slowing down, it gives any cranky toddlers a second wind to stay happy until daddy gets home and I can sit! My daughters have been bathing together since Hazel could sit up at around 4 months. Now Hazel is 18 months and her sister Fiona is 3 years old; bathtime sure has changed. Since … [Read more...]
