Fine Drooler-y
Now that I understand that every nanosecond of a child’s life (especially that first child – sorry siblings) will be photographed and documented, I can make a helluva good case for getting chic with the drool bibs at my friend’s baby showers. Plastic...
Parachute Pants Not Included
It’s the plight of pregnant women everywhere, and I’m not talking about constipation. Damn that belly grabbing! No matter how hard I tried, I could never get people to stop pawing at me. So maybe people will heed the words of...
Armored & Dangerous
I cannot tell you how glad I am to be out of the spitty drooly baby stage. Or maybe I should say my shirts are glad. Even with the loads of burp cloths I collected over almost four years of parenting, I still ended up with cruddy spit-up on my...

What’s Better Than the Mercedes of Baby Carriers? The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 of Baby Carriers?
I fully admit that after writing up the PortaMEe hip carrier here last year, I wanted one. I sooooo wanted one. Not because it was expensive (seriously) but because it was awesome. Say what you will about whatever front carrier you’ve got being just fine...
Slinging in the New Year
After trying on a massive number of slings, they are not all created equal. Sometimes that’s a good thing – the sling I used for my summer daughter just didn’t cut it when my January baby boy came along two years later.If you’re looking for...
Permission to Get Rowdy
After checking out a plethora of fantastic diaper bags over the last few years, I have to say that I’d love to be able to take the best features from each of them and combine them into one bag. The folks at Rowdy may well have beat me to it. Designed by parents...
