Do we really need fancy diaper pails?

October 15, 2009

With eco­nomic times being tough, I had been think­ing about putting together a post on what baby/kid items are needed and which we can do with­out, but it was such a huge task, that I never got around to writ­ing it.  So I’ve decided to make it a series and go one item at a time. […]

Beco Butterfly II

March 25, 2009

When I first wrote a post on baby-wearing, I did not yet own a Beco car­rier, but I thought at some point I would like to have one for travel, so my mei tai ties would not be drag­ging on the ground while I was roam­ing the streets of Europe. The day finally came– a […]

January 16, 2009

While look­ing for cute, high-quality, melamine dishes to use as tod­dler table­ware, I ran across a com­pany in Den­mark not only mak­ing fab­u­lous cups, plates, bowls and more, but that also has a con­science, Rice. Their prod­ucts are designed in Den­mark, then man­u­fac­tured in third world coun­tries by employ­ees who are treated fairly and are […]

Another baby carrier

January 10, 2009

I know I’ve men­tioned before how much I love my baby car­rier by Hope­diz, but for the past two weeks, I’ve upgraded, so to speak.  As my girl hit about 3.5 months, she wanted to see more while she was being car­ried, and her weight was increas­ing and putting a bit of strain on my […]

The Best European Car Seats

December 19, 2008

Accord­ing to the Ger­man con­sumer rat­ings mag­a­zine Stiftung War­entest, these are the top five car seats in each cat­e­gory that have earned either a “good” or “very good” qual­ity rat­ing.  The num­ber in paren­the­sis is the score received, the lower the score, the bet­ter the car seat did in tests.  When fewer than five seats […]

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!

International Babywearing Week

November 16, 2008

This week is Inter­na­tional Baby­wear­ing Week, so we here at Mama’s World­wide thought we’d bring you a cou­ple posts on baby­wear­ing. As a prac­ticer of Attach­ment Par­ent­ing, I’m pro-babywearing, as it has a lot of ben­e­fits for mother and child (Maria’s going to write about some of these tomor­row), unfor­tu­nately, I’ve also got a very […]

Hearing Protection for Your Child

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 […]

The Snack Trap

September 18, 2008

When my son started eat­ing fin­ger foods on the go, I looked for some­thing to make my life eas­ier. The last thing I wanted was to be pick­ing blue­ber­ries out of the stroller seat or from between the seats in the car. On a casual trip to Babies R Us, I dis­cov­ered The Snack Trap.  The […]
