Shimmery new way to display photos (giveaway)

March 14, 2012

I have given many a photo of my adorable family as a gift to my parents and in-laws, so I get super excited when I discover a new twist on presenting an image. When Meghan from Aluminyze emailed me about sponsoring a giveaway here, I was like, “Totally!” What mom doesn’t want to win a [...]

Share your toddler travel fantasies (giveaway)

March 5, 2012

My husband and I have logged thousands of miles traveling with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Not so many that I can remember to get frequent flyer accounts for the kids, but enough that I know that the right packing strategy can make all the difference. With preschoolers on up, iPhones are the third parent. Toddlers [...]

HALO launches adorable Pottery Barn Kids SleepSacks (giveaway!)

February 23, 2012

The giveaway is closed but do read about the cute product! The HALO SleepSack, an item used religiously by every woman in my mom’s group, is an example of one of those things you have never heard of until you have your own baby.

Win a pretty dress from Shabby Apple!

February 16, 2012

Giveaway closed. Dress picks still darn cute. One of the few fights Whitney and I have had in recent memory was over a dress: she was showing me her new sassy little black dress from Shabby Apple and I wanted to borrow it before she even took the tags off. Not my finest moment. The [...]

February 9, 2012

I’ve become quite adept at claiming hand-me-downs with bambino numero tre. Maternity wardrobe? Yes please. Tiny infant clothes? Sure. Gently-used baby stuff? Don’t mind if I do. I feel truly blessed by my community of moms for paying it forward and I’m happy to do the same. For the most part, my washing machine does [...]

Giveaway: Pretty slings by upa-lala

January 26, 2012

While I do love gender-neutral baby gear, there’s something really sweet about these pretty slings (that my husband would not wear) from independent seamstress Brittan Hlista, owner and designer of upa-lala. I’m thinking when your base layer is a tshirt and dull-from-too-many-washings yoga pants, these vibrant patterns could really distract the eye! (Note to sling-makers [...]

We’re giving away four pairs of sneaks, sponsored by Sears

January 18, 2012

My go-to fancy outfit for little boys who don’t need to own dress shoes is a pair of clean Chuck Taylors with khaki pants and a dress shirt. This summer, we had a wedding to attend, and I bought Julian a pair of slip-on Chuck Taylors for the occasion. I didn’t let him wear them [...]

Travel Boppy review (and giveaway!)

January 5, 2012

Contest is closed. “Is that a travel Boppy?” the other mom said to me with obvious envy. We had both just emerged from a five-hour flight, I with my three sons and she with her nine-month old. I nodded as I jiggled Sawyer in the front carrier and tried to get the bigger boys to [...]
