Deeds has a blankie.
The blankie’s name is "Silky".
Silky has to go everywhere with us. Silky is filthy.
When I am the lone adult traveling with my two kids, keeping track of lovies is stressful.
My usually solution is to carry a giant purse that I can stuff things into so we can walk [...]

Sassy sent me some fabulous new feeding products for on-the-go infants and toddlers.
I find that even though Jojo is 5 years old now, I still use small containers of all kinds for his snack and lunch that I send to school.
I even pack a lunch for myself, and 2-year-old Deeds needs a [...]

As a member of Graco Nation, I was one of the lucky ones to get an advance look at the Graco Alano FlipIt Stroller.
It holds a child up to 50 pounds, and has a padded seat that reclines.
You can adjust the harness to be a 3 or 5-point harness. You can close [...]

When Jojo was a baby, we traveled even more than we do now. We flew to Laos when he was 7 weeks old, followed by a month in Thailand at 12 weeks. Before he was 2 he had been to Thailand, Laos, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and of course exotic places like Alabama and Tennessee.
One issue [...]

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 [...]

Sassy has redesigned their baby toys, making them better suited to baby’s developing senses.
That means bold geometric patterns, symmetrical faces, high contrast patterns and bright colors, soft sounds and upbeat music, and many exciting textures.
When I read the part about “bold geometric patterns”, I envisioned the bright, clashing colors of the 1980’s. Happily though, these [...]

I breastfed both of my children, but I never could get the hang of breastfeeding while baby wearing.
Evenflo has a new babywearing solution especially for itty-bitty babies, and one that offers an ideal nursing position!
The Evenflo Snugli Sway is a sling carrier with great safety features; an adjustable interior harness with a buckle system keeps [...]

I have mentioned before that I am pro-babywearing for convenience as well as bonding.
One thing I DON’T like about baby wearing is that slings and carriers are often an “investment”; you have to plunk down some serious cash and then there is always the nagging worry that this particular carrier won’t be a good fit [...]

On Monday I will be flying to Southeast Asia with Jojo and Deeds.
It is a really long trip and we have four connecting flights. Hometown to Atlanta, Atlanta to Japan, Japan to Bangkok, and Bangkok to Laos.
This time instead of my trusty Ergo carrier, I will be toting Deeds in a LilleBaby EveryWear.
I decided to [...]
