Oh, the joys of getting on an airplane with little ones in tow. A few months ago I had my first plane flight with my son solo. We were flying from Disney World in Orlando back home to LA and I felt like I was doomed from the beginning. My son and I were both …

This baby beanie may look a little different and have a funny name but there is no funny business to what it can do for your baby. The Tortle is a lightweight, snug beanie that is a cost-effective, preventative solution to flat head syndrome. Did you know positional plagiocephaly (or “flat head syndrome”) is up …

I totally convinced you how awesome doulas are last week, right? So, now that you’re searching for your perfect match, you need to prepare for your meet and greet interview. Any doula worth her birthing ball (ha, birth joke there!), will offer you a free phone or in-person consultation before you move forward. Take her …

I hit another homerun for dinner last night! This time it wasn’t Pinterest to the rescue but a good old fashioned Google search. I knew I wanted to throw something in the crockpot that didn’t include pasta. (We just had pasta the night before and I was trying to mix it up!) Yep, that is me …

I personally love packing up my diaper bags every time I use them. Through trial and error I have figured out what I need to pack, and things I can probably do without. Here are my ten must haves. 1. Diapers. I had to put that one. Always pack extra diapers, especially when your baby …

As I have mentioned before, I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Cake, cookies, bars and now bread. To be fair this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is what I would consider “dessert bread”. It’s not your typical sliced bread that you throw some lunch meat on and call it a day. …

I won’t go as far as to say that I’m making a goal to lose weight this year, but there are some baby pounds I may or may not being striving to get rid of. Ideally I’ll do this through some kid-friendly exercise (swift walks with the stroller and family yoga, anyone?) and a boost …

Okay, this is without a doubt my favorite Oatmeal Bake recipe. It is delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and kids are going to love the added twist on boring old regular oatmeal. It’s really easy to make, you can add anything your heart desires to spice it up, and the kids can help you …
