This is a longish post, but stick with me—it’s worth it! A few years back, I won an amazing contest from Lily Jade. I nominated two friends to win one of their diaper bags and if chosen, all three of us won a bag—and I was picked! The coolest thing was my third friend knew …

I’m by no means a minimalist – in fact, I’m sure my husband would argue I’m quite the opposite. (We currently own four different strollers, which makes him a little mad – but that’s another story for another time.) However, I try to pack as little as possible into my hospital bag, both for me and …

BY: Shannon Griffith, owner of Green Diaper Babies, cloth diaper delivery service of Chicagoland. I’m sure you’ve heard it come up in your group of friends: CLOTH DIAPERS.  You know your “hippie” friends who have tried it and loved it; but there are also your friends who are clearly not interested.  Perhaps you find yourself …

I distinctly remember throwing together a pregnancy hospital bag (if you could even call it that) when my contractions were four minutes apart and I was heading out the door to give birth to my son four years ago. I was a first time hospital bag packer and while I knew to bring the basic …

First of all, I have to say, I love this thing.  It’s cute, it’s functional, and there’s surely a color to match any nursery décor.  In the looks department, the Ubbi beats out any diaper pail I’ve ever seen.  So when we ordered ours, I was really hoping it was going to deliver in the practical …

It’s summer—time to beat the heat at the pool or the beach! But a pool or beach day requires lots of preparation—and a ton of gear—when you have little ones. To help make it easier, we’ve compiled this handy list of items to pack in your beach bag. Try to keep as many as possible …

I’m always curious what other mamas consider their on-the-go necessities. Am I the only one? Hope not! Because today I’m giving you a little peek inside my mom bag … Yeah, yeah. It kind of looks like a toddler/baby explosion. That’s what it feels like too. But really, there is a reason behind everything. With …

At 34 weeks, I’ve decided it’s time to start packing my hospital bag. I’m sure I packed it earlier with baby number 1, but with a toddler running around and keeping me busy, my hospital bag has been way down the list of things to do. Way, way down. In an effort to get the …

After reviewing strollers for more than 20 years (and pushing more of them through parks, parking lots, and theme parks than I can count), I get excited when a brand actually listens to parents and makes meaningful improvements. That’s exactly what happened with the new Mockingbird 3.0 Stroller. Mockingbird has always been known for offering high-end stroller features at …
