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.

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 Developmental Baby Toys

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 [...]

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 [...]

When Deeds was an infant, I purchased a Baby Planet umbrella stroller that I thought was the greatest.
But now that I have reviewed the Inglesina Trip Stroller, I have a new love.
Yes, I have discovered greener umbrella stroller pastures. They are in the land of Inglesina.

This stroller kept Deeds contained during Jojo’s music program.
The [...]

When I decided to delve into review blogging, I thought to myself I would know that I had truly made it if I ever got to review a stroller.
Well my friends, that day has come.
Now I know there is controversy about blog reviews these days and I am totally determined to do a fair and [...]

Are you going to the beach this summer?
There are people in the world that criticize the very act of traveling because of the “carbon footprint” produced by getting to a faraway destination.
I’m not ready to give up travel, but I starting thinking about what changes we could make in order to be more eco-friendly on [...]

Baby Shoebox Memories

I am a sentimental person, but often times the precious mementos I save don’t get properly displayed.
Jojo was an early walker. When I look at his little worn pair of soft-soled leather baby shoes with the elephant on them, I remember holding is hand at a market in Bangkok as he padded through puddles of [...]
