I have always been a Pampers Mom. I have tried out a few other brands, but find the Pampers Swaddlers and Cruisers to be the best for my kids. I think they are softer on their skin and they seem to do their job well.
My son has always enjoyed the Sesame Street characters printed on […]

If you have a toddler or know someone who is about to have a toddler, this is a must-have:
Black & Decker 7.2 Volt DustBuster® Cordless Hand Vac
I use this multiple times a day in my kitchen (primarily in a circle around my son’s highchair equivalent to his pitching distance). It is powerful, convenient, and pretty […]

Did you know that you don’t have to PAY for books? You can even rent movies for free! Did you know that there is a place in your town where they let you borrow books, movies, and other media for free*?
