I did things a little differently this time around. About the same time Meagan, one of my readers (and friend) asked me about my opinion on the Cybex Solution X-fix high back booster seat, the company emailed me about them. So I took the opportunity (and chance) to ask them if they could send the seat to her. I thought that a review from a mom who hasn't seen lots of car seats (like me) would have … [Read more...]

Quincy has long outgrown her infant tub because she wants to be free to splash and play. I discovered the Jahgoo collection of baby products and I couldn’t be happier.

Made of Organic Cotton, it has 4 fun little shapes that crinkle, rattle and otherwise delight. They certainly capture Quincy's attention. I … [Read more...]
When I first learned about the Baby Moments Flat Screen Digital Color Video Monitor from Summer Infant at last years ABC Expo I was excited to check it out. So when I received one a few weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to set it up. 10.) The 7” LCD Color flat screen is amazing, I don’t have to squint to see what Quincy is up to. 9.) With the night vision feature, there is no need for a night … [Read more...]

I quickly checked their website locator and saw their was a location in Seattle - near the airport. Sweet! We could go have some delicious food and then go to IKEA. Total win in my book!
