Sunday, June 1st, 2008We were planning to go camping in Flagstaff over Memorial Day weekend. Last year, we went at the end of the May and the weather was lovely - sunny and breezy with mild afternoon showers. But this year…well, let’s just say we checked the weather beforehand and opted OUT of tent camping in 20 degree [...]
Toss Plastic Water Bottles and Cheap-O Drink Containers
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Thermos is a solid brand and one that I am a huge fan of. Thermos products are well-constructed, nice to look at, and they last through lots of falls and tumbles.
In fact, we recently gave away almost our entire “coffee mug” and tumbler collection because they just couldn’t compare to our new Thermos Element 5 [...]
Sun Protection Zone: Better than your typical swimsuit
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I just registered my daughter for swim lessons through the local parks and recreation program. The sessions are two weeks long and cost $2 (yes, $2 for the whole two weeks!), and my daughter loves the water! The lessons will run M-TH so, needless to say, we’ll be out in the morning sun a lot.
Of [...]
A Blanket that Keeps Bottoms Dry
Saturday, May 17th, 2008How many times have you been out-and-about and…
decided to make a quick trip to the park or the beach?
picked up some food for a picnic and headed to an outdoor location?
met up with a friend to do a quick walk or run around the track [...]
It’s a Gym Bag, It’s an Overnight Bag, It’s a Diaper Bag…It’s a Puddle Jumper by LUG!
Sunday, May 11th, 2008LUG’s Puddle Jumper Overnight Bag made Oprah’s O List and I have a hunch it’s because it is so versatile. It features tons of storage pockets and compartments, a ventilated zip pocket compartment, an interior bottle holder, and a D-ring for your keys.
I’ve already used this bag as a diaper bag and a swim bag, [...]
Ever wish you could just stick a video camera in your pocket?
Sunday, May 4th, 2008Now you can! I am excited to introduce you to the Flip Video Ultra Series, “the world’s simplest camcorder.”
This little camcorder is super small, but also surprisingly full of features. It has a built-in wide range microphone, a built-in speaker, and a built-in flip-out USB arm. Plus, it only has 8 buttons so this thing [...]

Seventh Generation offers a new way to pamper baby’s bottom. They offer diapers that are “non-toxic, non-irritating, and fragrance-free” and wipes that are “moistened with aloe vera, vitamin [...]

Great Gifts for New Moms: GourmetStation
Monday, March 10th, 2008After childbirth, I remember receiving plenty of colorful gift bags decorated with pink bows and baby rattles and cartoon storks. Inside were tiny outfits and burp cloths and blankets. I appreciated each and every item and felt incredibly blessed, but I have to admit that the “gifts” that I remember being most thankful for were [...]
Fit Mama Friday: My First Shades
Saturday, March 8th, 2008My husband and I run together 3-4 times a week. We take our 18-month-old daughter along in a jogging stroller and, for the most part, she enjoys our 30-minute runs. She loves the sound of our feet pounding the cement, the rhythm of our voices as we talk, the dogs barking, and the wind blowing. [...]
"White Noise" May Help Baby to Sleep Better
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Experts agree that babies don’t necessarily like sleeping in silence. As Dr. Harvey Karp wrote in his book, The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Sleep Longer (Bantam, 2002), “Our culture believes in the strange myth that a baby wants to be left in a quiet, [...]
Product Review: Ultreo
Thursday, February 28th, 2008Beauty shines from within, but it often is first judged by our outward appearances - especially our smiles. Clean, sparkling, white teeth contribute not only to a captivating smile…but also to good health. Surprisingly, the health of our teeth affects the health of our bodies (and our babies - read this if you’re pregnant or [...]
