With it’s ample canopy (better than any other out there) that has amazing sun coverage (and a peekaboo window to check on your napping little one) and … [Read more...]

Monday Monday Monday at ABC.

I still love my comfy shoes. Petit Nest is a gorgeous line of nursery furniture that will grow with your child. Inspired by Tiffani Thiessen and Lonni Paul, I fell in love with it. You can still find safe 5 point harness boosters, like the fun ones at Dorel Juvinelle Group. A girl can never have too many pairs of BabyLegs either. If you are at the expo, and haven't checked out Soothe … [Read more...]

After a day of scrambled packing, a fine dinner at the airport, we arrive at the gate to find.... A fifteen minute delay. Not a huge deal, but it figures, because of course I'm out of fruit snacks for my son (they are in the checked luggage) … [Read more...]
