If you live in the majority of the country right now, you know one thing- it’s !#&%*#ing cold! So far, we haven’t gotten too much snow. Last year our region hit nearly record-breaking snow totals, so I am mentally preparing for the same to happen again. That said, last year I had a newborn. I …

It’s beginning to look a lot like… a giant mess in the kitchen. It’s cookie baking season! Wait – let’s be honest. It’s always cookie baking season. It’s just that the holiday season pairs well with cookie exchanges. My circle loves to hold a big cookie exchange – we’ve had over 30 participants in previous …
I couldn’t be more sad to say that we’ve reached the end of summer. Sad face. While I live in a region that gets all four seasons to the max, and I’m eager for the change to fall, summer is always my favorite. In my world, there is just nothing better than a beautiful afternoon …
It’s my favorite season of all… summer! There are few things in life that make me happier than sun, shorts, flip flops, and the beach. And with all of those favorite things comes grilling. In case you haven’t noticed from all of my previous posts, I love food (but probably not as much as Oprah …

As I sit here to write this post, I realize that a large portion of our readers may actually already have kids in school! I have trouble wrapping my head around that, because growing up school always started back in September – typically even after Labor Day. My son doesn’t go back to school until …
Summer, to me, means a few very essential things. For one, I can’t get through the summer without ample pool and beach time. Then there’s the ice cold cocktails at happy hour. (Or, a not-quite-as-fun pregnancy mocktail this summer.) You can’t forget the barbecues, or the late nights sitting under the stars, or even the …
I’m going to go out on a limb here, people – vacation with [small] kids is hardly a vacation. Our family rents a beach house each year, which is something my husband grew up doing. It is so. much. work. In essence, you drag nearly everything you own from your house to someone else’s house …
Woohoo, we made it! It’s the end of the school year! Summer is nearly upon us. But before we are able to park ourselves in a lounge chair by the community pool, we must first prepare our children to say goodbye to their classroom teachers. Your child’s teacher(s) work very hard throughout the year – …

I’ve written about this a few times on Baby Gizmo before, but my family has been through a decent amount of health struggles throughout the last few years. Because of all of the research our family has done regarding antibiotics destroying our gut, we feel that probiotics are very beneficial. Here’s why we feel it was …
