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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

The biggest reason that I began review blogging was the news in late 2007 about the potentially toxic affects of BPA and it’s presence in hundreds of baby feeding products.
My second child, Deeds, was only a few months old at the time and the Mother Bear was awakened in me.
