I love products for children that have multiple uses; they make for great travel accessories!
My newest such discovery is the Noobee®, a mom invented product from Pookafun!
Noobee® is like a fabric book with entertaining, educational, and engaging images printed on two sides of a scarf-like layout.
Noobee® is visually stimulating for babies of all ages, [...]

I’m joining in with Delicious Baby today to participate in Photo Friday.
I want to share these sweet pictures of Deeds and his buddy Gohn, whose birth story I shared back in March.
This was Gohn’s first time to ride in the stroller/buggy/pram and Deeds decided that he was the only one allowed to drive.
He pushed the [...]

Both of my children refuse to sleep under a blanket.

Jojo was 18-months-old and seriously obsessed with sweeping.
I wrestled brooms away from him in hotel lobbies, off of the maid’s cart in airports; he had uncanny broom detection skills.
Every morning would begin with us going outside at the break of dawn (not exaggerating), Jojo grabbing a broom [...]

I have so many pictures I never get to share; I decided to start posting a daily travel photo. These pictures will be from any of our trips since Jojo’s birth (2004).

Many people, including adoptive parents and even medical nurses, are surprised to learn that it is possible to nurse an adopted child.
Each adoptive mother who has nursed their child has their own unique story.
I have personally known two adoptive mothers who have successfully nursed their children. In these cases each had had children biologically [...]

Barbara Schantz is the mother of two sets of twins (one set is 4, the other 6-months-old; check out her blog for adorable photo evidence), so she knows a thing or two about multi-tasking.
I know how it feels to run out of hands.
Somehow, Barbara found the time to design a new product, the Baby Dipper [...]
