I came across this free download today and thought I would share it with you. A gentle reminder to every mother at the end of a long hard day.

The Burley, a child bike trailer, was all the rage in the 90's and early 2000's, when bike trailers first came out and started replacing rear-mounted child bike seats as the most popular form of toting your kid on a bike ride. Now days there are several other brands of bike trailers to choose from, but it seems simple child bike seats might be coming back into style. Burleys and other bike trailers, Chariot, InStep,...

My brother shared this great new service with me and I thought I'd quickly get it up on Wee Baby Stuff so all of you are in the know too.  Here's an ecologically friendly way to dress your baby. At Plum Gear you can get boutique eco-baby clothes in the sizes you need, and then send the clothes back when they're too small. How brilliant! For 49.00 you get seven different outfits, one for every...

It's been more than a month since my last post and all I can say is that I've been too busy planning Lena's first birthday party to do anything else. Pretty good excuse I know! Seriously though, a first birthday only happens once and I wanted it to be a very special party. I put a lot of time and mental energy into the party planning, and it paid off this Sunday. Lena had a...

O & S’s bath time toys were taking over our bathroom and becoming a bother to put away each night. Before having the twins, I had heard of the Boon Frog Pod and it was the first thing that came to mind when I went on the search for bath toy storage. I am so glad I spent a little extra money to get a well-designed, good looking storage option instead of the cheaper versions...

I often have the tv on in the background during the day (shhh….don’t tell all the critics that say that is bad!). It happened to be on the Nate Berkus show last week on Friday. My attention was peeked by an image of this eco-friendly modern toy box. It turns out it was created by a mom who was searching for modern toy storage for her kids. When she couldn’t find anything, she picked up...

A stroller that's worth more than my car? Sad and hard to believe, but probably true. The $1500 price tag on the Bugaboo Donkey stroller is pretty impressive, but read this review and you might just be convinced to start saving up. Maybe I could somehow arrange a trade in?

I thought Lena would never drink from a sippy cup, until we tried the Nuby No-Spill cup with Super Spout. Seriously, we were ready to throw in the towel, and succumb to three or four soaked clothing changes per day, water all over the floors, and a crabby thirsty one year old. But the Nuby has changed all that, and I'm pretty ecstatic to have found a sippy cup Lena will actually drink water from,...

I hope all the mamas out there had a fabulous Mother's Day this past Sunday. Does anybody else wish Mother's Day was a quarterly holiday? It was so nice to sleep in, be treated to a nice meal, spend some leisurely time with my family, and just be recognized for all of the hard work I do, day in and day out, to keep my baby clean, fed, rested, and happy. Seriously, it's not an...

I don't know about you, but I am constantly battling to keep my daughter's bib on. She loves to play with it, tug at it, and pull it off. It was basically impossible to keep the kid clean, up until my sister-in-law gifted us with a hand me down Pelican Bib, and meal time hasn't been the same since. The Pelican Bib has an extremely strong yet comfortable adjustable neck fastener so that no matter how...

Lena has been crawling now for the past three weeks and she's getting better and better at it. It's also becoming harder and harder to keep track of her. I wonder if she'll be walking soon, and in preparation for that huge milestone, I've been thinking about shoes. Lena owns one pair of slip on slippers that I bought to keep her feet warm this winter, but I'm sure we'll need to get her some...

Lena has learned to crawl! It's incredible how something just clicked, and off she went, from one end of the room to the other, without warning, without me even realizing she had traversed the entire living room. After a month of practicing the separate movements and positions associated with crawling, Lena has finally put everything together to become a mobile baby.  And so, I've brought out the BabyLegs. I had originally purchased two pairs of...

A few weeks ago we received a NewAir space heater and we really like it. We've used oil filled heaters before, but tucked them away after our little girl became mobile.  We really like the NewAir heater (model AH-450) because it heats the room without getting too hot to touch. If it does become too hot, there's a caution light that comes on (although we've never seen it aglow because we keep the heater at...

I have been hearing about the Cribsie Awards for quite some time now and I finally took a minute last night to peek at the nominations and voting. For those of you who haven't heard of the awards, it honors the best brands, products, and websites for babies and toddlers. Categories include Nursery, Gear, Fashion, Play, Mealtime, and Web. Although I didn't take the time to vote (yet), it was fun to peruse the categories...

I just recently loaned my favorite fabric baby carrier to a friend and thought that it deserved a post to let all of you know about how fabulous I think it is. There are TONS of baby carriers out there and if you feel the way I do, it is overwhelming. I had heard of the K'tan Baby Carrier from a friend, but wrote it off and went with the ever popular Moby Wrap. I...

Our trip to Mexico is coming up in just a few days and we're trying to wrap our heads around everything we need to pack. We're hoping we only need to bring two small suitcases, but with all of Lena's baby stuff this may prove difficult.  One of the unique items we're definitely bringing with us on vacation is the Kid Co. Pea Pod Travel Bed, which we're lucky to have borrowed from a friend....
