Fathers Day Frosty Weekend

Some dads are more partial to simple pleasures in life instead of the fancy-schmancy stuff. My husband is one such example.
He would probably be pleased with a Father’s Day lunch at Wendy’s!
Did you know that for the past three years, Wendy’s has made it a Father’s Day Frosty Weekend tradition to donate 50 cents from [...]

Teaching Children About Disabilities and Inclusion

I was thinking today about physical handicaps and how I “deal” with the “issue” with my children.
I can’t really remember a time when Jojo has made a seemingly inappropriate comment about a disabled person. I seem to remember him being really jealous of someone in a cool wheel chair one day when we were out [...]

There has been a recent “baby invasion” around here; two adopted infants and one biological child have joined families in my circle of friends in the past two months.
Watching their journeys into parenthood and reflecting on my own has really made me think about the risk in becoming a parent.

OriginOne is a unique company that uses hip, fashionable, graphic clothing to proclaim a message of human oneness!
OriginOne springs from inspiration that struck when the founding couple adopted their infant daughter.
In the spell of wonder that babies bring, this new adoptive father realized that,
even though he was not her “birth” father, she was still [...]

The “Problem” of Race

Racial prejudices are so complex; they have many layers and implications.
I grew up in the American South, so I had an idea of what I thought racism was. Where I lived as a child there was only white people and black people; there wasn’t any other kind of ethnicity, so I thought that these two [...]

Baby Deeds was understandably VERY happy when we started using Adiri Natural Nurser Baby Bottles.
(Baby Deeds, pictured here at about 5-months-old!)
We still nurse, but increasingly as he grew, there have been times that we needed to be apart for short periods, including when I was working part-time.
I didn’t want him to have to be entirely [...]

Hi Bloggy Giveaways Carnival friends! I’m CanCan, and this is my blog, MomMostTraveled.com!
I’m an eco-conscious Mama, and I also have a little one with painful eczema.
I’m always on the lookout for organic products that might give little baby Deeds some relief from his red, dry, senior-citizen skin.
I was excited to learn about Sum-Bo-Shine, a mom-founded [...]

I was intrigued and excited to learn that adoptive moms can breastfeed their babies. I enjoyed breastfeeding my children, and I used Medela products every step of the way.
So when a friend began pursuing the adoption of a newborn baby with plans to nurse him, I introduced her to the magic of Medela!
Medela generously [...]
