Splat!

January 24, 2009

It is no secret that I am wait­ing with baited breath for Boon Inc.‘s scrub­bles to hit the mar­ket. So much so that I stopped in to Babies R’Us last night to see if they were on the shelves. I did not see the scrub­bles, but I did see some of the other prod­ucts that […]

Ten Reasons to Wear Your Baby

November 17, 2008

It’s Inter­na­tional Baby­wear­ing Week, and in honor, I will share Ten Rea­sons to Wear Your Baby… or rather ten rea­sons why I wore my baby that might apply to you! Trav­el­ing light.  The first inter­na­tional trip I took The Boy on, I had way too much gear– car seat, stroller, dia­per bags (yes, more than one). […]

November 15, 2008

While I live a life of unique cir­cum­stances, I thought oth­ers might ben­e­fit from know­ing about Pel­tor Kids Ear­muffs. They are not new or an excit­ing toy, but they do serve a very impor­tant pur­pose– to pro­tect your child’s hear­ing at loud events. Due to my husband’s job, my son went to his first basketball […]

Crayon Rocks rock our world!

September 14, 2008

Not so long ago, my mom pur­chased The Boy some Crayon Rocks. I admit to plant­ing the seed after see­ing them on another blog, and they are won­der­ful. For young hands, they are eas­ier to hold, encour­age the tri­pod hold for older chil­dren, and color beau­ti­fully. Crayon rocks are made of soy wax and minerals. […]

Baby Wearing

September 3, 2008

Many times while trav­el­ing I have been asked about a sling or car­rier that I am using for The Boy.  I con­sider a sling to be an essen­tial part of my travel arse­nal. There are times, when trav­el­ing, that a child wants noth­ing but to be car­ried, and rather than bat­tling the child and luggage, […]
