I am really excited about the Pura Stainless Steel bottles; they are 100% BPA-free, nor do they require questionable chemical linings like aluminum bottles.
I got a Pura 0.8L Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap and I really love it.
I always feel like the aluminum bottles make the water have a [...]

You know how you are supposed to reapply sunscreen every two hours when you are out swimming?
The Skin Cancer Foundation states “reapplication of sunscreen is just as important as putting it on in the first place” and advises to “reapply the same amount every two hours.”
I have very infrequently abided by this recommendation. One of my [...]

I remember my “bicycle under the Christmas tree” moment. I was 5-years-old and it had a banana seat and a plastic Snoopy basket. And training wheels. Later it met an untimely death when I left it in the driveway and it lost a fight with the station wagon.
Did you know training wheels are “out”? [...]

My 7th grade math teacher was afraid of snakes. REALLY afraid of snakes. Once in a while someone would come in wearing a snake skin belt or boots (hey, I’m from Alabama) and she would go into hysterics.
So if you were to ask me if I were afraid of snakes, I would say [...]

Buying a carseat is one of the larger investments you make when a baby comes along (not including teenagerly demands such as a new car, college tuition and the like).
And it’s one that parents often make in the dark.
I know when we bought our first carseat, the decision was mostly influenced by the lady who [...]

This summer when I was packing for a trip, I had things strewn about my bedroom, waiting to be organized and put in the suitcase.
I walked in on almost-two-year-old Deeds with an open pill bottle in his hand.
It was a terrifying sight (along with the shocking realization that Deeds could open child-proof medicine bottles). It [...]

Since we travel often into tropical climates, I take UV protection very seriously. It didn’t take me long to realize that it is often quite difficult and time consuming to put sunscreen on a toddler and preschooler every time they want to go outside, so now I am a big fan of UV protective [...]
