An article posted on MSN.com this morning points to a massive British study that has determined organically grown fruit and vegetables have “far more” nutritional value than conventionally grown fruit and vegetables. “Conventionally grown” fruit and vegetables are grown with chemicals and pesticides.
This is a BIG deal to me as a mom. We’ve been buying […]

I found the changes my body went through during pregnancy to be a bit rough. Especially that awkard in-between phase, where it looks like you could be pregnant, or you could just be piling on the pounds. All of your regular comfy clothes don’t fit, and maternity clothing is too large. For this phase, I […]

It’s been hot everywhere we’ve been since the first day of summer and protecting our kids from the sun has become a never-ending battle of ours. I love the new spray sunscreens, and they have versions made specifically for babies. (7/15 - Update: Make sure you read directions carefully - many sunscreens are not appropriate […]

Yesterday was a bright sunny day here in San Diego, and we took a bunch of old bread to the local lakes to feed the ducks. It was so incredibly brilliant and relaxing. We lucked into the right time of day and a quiet enough day that the ducks were starving. The ducks were happy […]

This is something that I share with all of my newly-pregnant friends who are experiencing morning sickness for the first time: keep your stomach full and smell fresh lemons. Even lemon tea is refreshing.

http://www.birthdayswithoutpressure.org/

The site covers everything from defining an out-of-control birthday party to take-the-pressure off ideas. The site even has a list of questions you can ask your kid to help you plan the perfect birthday party for your […]

The never-ending theme in our lives these days is work / life balance. I was asked recently for a quote on what it is like to start & run your own business, and raise two small children at the same time. Just one quote?
I’m sure I said it was wonderful. Anyone who knows us, knows […]

Since we decided to launch a website, we’ve wanted it to have a cool “games” section. This section is the last to get built; regretfully, it’s still in idea stage. But in the meantime, I can share this cool article I found on MSN.com that describes some great games to play with your baby, by […]

I think that life / work balance is a constant struggle for all parents; whether you run your own business or work outside of the house. We started our business for our kids and sometimes it’s our kids that sacrifice the most. There are days where we have no choice but to go full-throttle and […]
