I love your site and your book. It’s great inspiration to those of us who get a little antsy and bored at home and like to do new things with our babies. My baby is now a toddler and I’m happy that a lot of your activities work for toddlers as well. We tried potching the other day and my little guy had a great time. I also enjoyed making pants out of old t-shirts. Thanks!
Wow! I actually clicked over earlier today and was so excited by the “7-9 MONTHS” block staring me in the face, because, hoo boy, I need it. Beautiful! And so easy to find what I (desperately) needed.
I love that activities are separated by age.
I really like the clean look of the site and the simple color scheme–very appealing and easy to navigate. I have two just-turned-2 year olds and have come across lots of great tips here–thanks!
I love this site. I actually feel happier when I read it, similar to when I hear the theme music to “The Office.” I have a five year old and a three year old and I just started reading it. I wish I would have known about it when they were babies. I would not have felt so alone in my post-partum fog. You are both very inspirational to me, so thank you.
I’ve been enjoying your blog for many years now. A friend of mine turned me on to it early on (at post #4 or 5, I think!) and I’ve been following your suggestions ever since. It’s very helpful that I live in the East Bay too because I can do many of the exact same things you guys are doing.
I love your site and have been reading it for months now. I have a 15-month old and have tried quite a few of the activities from your site. When I first started reading your activities and the blog - I felt right at home - you both are real people, with real kids and real lives - thank you for putting yourselves out there for all of us to relate to, laugh with and commiserate with. I do like the new look and feel (and the color scheme) of the site - makes it even easier to find activities for the right age group. Keep on blogging!
Your site is amazing. As a first time mom, there are so many suggestions that have helped me in my journey so far. You make me feel like it’s okay to not always have all the answers or know what I’m doing - and sometimes you help figure out what to do! You guys rock!
I have used so many ideas on your site! The memory game with family photos was a huge hit with my neice, the spelling with Flickr site inspired me to make fabric blocks with iron-on letters that spell out my friends’ babies’ names…the list goes on. Only thing is, I need to use more of these ideas for my own poor baby, who is sick of her friends getting such cute gifts, while she is left with generic stuff from the store. You are both brilliant!
LOVE the site and always recommend it to my new mom friends. A few posts that stand out to me are… the repurposed board book father’s day present, halloween costume ideas and suggestion to take the baby to a cafe by yourself.
I like the age-appropriate activities blocks - they’re eye-catching but not overwhelming, easy to find, and it’s quite obvious what they are. I’m hanging out in the Months 1-3 block, but when it comes time to move into a new block, I won’t have to hunt all over the place for the Months 4-6 block.
LOVE the new look. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new blocks for age groups. Not loving the black dashed box around it, though. How does it look with the gray dashed lines?
The sidebars are a little overwhelming for me, BUT you have lots of useful information there, so not sure what you could really do about that.
I’d ditch the sitemeter for an invisible StatCounter, or pay for the upgrade on sitemeter if you don’t want to switch. I’ve heard great things about woopra as well, and they have a hidden counter.
GREAT job ladies!! Lookin’ GOOOD!!!
Yep, looks great! A superb theme choice, if I do say so myself.
I love that you can browse activities by age. Maybe it was always on the site, but I never noticed it before. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas with the mommy world!
I love the browse by age option - very well organized. The whole new design is fab by the way.
I really like the age group boxes on the new site.
Being a new mom, I love your activity suggestions and use many of them with my 10-week old daughter.
I love the age blocks! With a two year old and a baby, it needs to be easy for me to find or I won’t use it. I’ve been enjoying all your tips!
I LOVE your tags. It’s so easy to find some specific kind of activity that you’re looking for (like “cheap”). The other thing I love is your sense of humour, we all need it being moms. Oh, and the “a week in ….” topic is the best! I haven’t used it yet but I will for sure, you never know what to do with kids in a new city!
P.S: the new look is awesome.
Wow, the site is DEFINATELY easier in the eye! I am so loving the new age range quick clicks! Nice work ladies! Devine!
-Lynn
love the new look of the site! thanks for the opportunity for such a great giveaway
i love the new site! i have been following you guys since way before i got pregnant and you have saved me so many times when i thought i would lose my mind from sleep dep/newborn/almost toddler craziness. i was so happy to see the new layout, it makes it much easier to search new ideas and activities for me and the little one. thank you!
I really appreciate the activities by age level.
As an expecting mom, I am anticipating using it for years to come.
Thanks for all the sharing.
Karen
I love the age range organization. My son is two months old today, and I love that you help me to feel like I’m not alone! Thanks for all the great ideas!
I love the simple clean look, and the buttons by age option. I just love reading new ideas for things to do with our DD! Thanks!
I was hooked as soon as I found this site (through 101 Cookbooks). What I like best are the One week in another city suggestions. I’m looking forward to travelling with my baby and it’s great to go places you feel welcome (family friendly was something that totally eluded me until I had a baby). But all the activities sound great and I’m taking lots of notes, trying as many as I can and passing them on to friends.
I love this site. Thank you for providing me with inspiring ideas!
The site looks amazing and love the new “your hostesses” shot on the homepage. Go rookie moms!
I love that the “toddler” block is there for easy reference as well as the activities list, which are always a great resource for me!! Thanks!
I love the new design. I like that it’s white behind the text now, makes it easier to read. My favorite thing is the collection of buttons at the top right so you can find activities by age! I just really enjoy reading the blog in general, it’s witty and timely and makes me feel better about the job I’m doing as a newish mom.
love the new look. great job ladies (as always). my favorite part of the site is the age by age blocks. makes it easy to navigate. keep up the good work.
I love the very easy to find and navigate age blocks in the top righthand corner. Thanks for making it so easy to find what I’m looking for!
I love the new design! It makes it a lot easier to find the activities that work for my 3-month old. I also like the more prominent display of who wrote which because I could never keep straight who said what before. And I’m hoping to get a copy of the book very, very soon!
I appreciate that you’re cognizant that no one is a real
pro at parenting; rather we’re all learning together, and the best thing is to just share what little tricks work for you. There is no condescension. Isn’t that the last thing a new mom needs? Thanks ladies!
I think I can second (and third and fourth) the age-separated activities.
I love that you have the activities organized by age. My first child is due in November and I’m stocking up on ideas for when he arrives. I especially enjoy the “did do” list post. I’m an avid list maker and always fall into the trap of dwelling on what I didn’t get done instead of what I did. Thanks and congrats on the new look!
I love the activity and nutrition suggestions - especially the recent one for how to have a fun “stay-cation” (and preschool car wash) - and I really love the look of the new site, very clean and bright… Go Rookie Moms!!!
Any time I am feeling a lull in activity with my baby, unsure of what to do for a change of pace for both of us, I can look at your site. Without wasting our precious together-time, I can quickly click the link for her age and find an activity to spice up our day–that is the best thing about the blog design. Thanks for keeping the ideas coming!
I love the activities arranged by age of baby! What a great way to search for age-appropriate fun. Your site is looking fantastic! And what a great prize package you’ve put together!
love the new design! So fun
I like the way you’ve organized everything by age. It will make it easier to find cool tips as my daughter ages.
I love your activity and outing suggestions! None of my local friends have kids and my daughter just turned one. Your site is like having an experienced friend nearby!
I love the style of the site. I am no designer but it seems like a sophisticated, modern style mixed with some vintage feel. Very serene and inviting. And of course I love the content! I have picked up some fun ideas from you ladies (even if I am not a rookie:).
I love that you’ve broken down the activities into age categories - it’s great when I need to come in and get an idea for my kids!
Every time I see a new post from you on my RSS feed I get very excited to visit your site and read it. You always make me smile with your sense of humor. Thanks for all the tips.
I love the new look! It’s so streamlined. My favorite thing would have to be the easy access to the archives that are organized by age groups. Brilliant!
Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work, girls!
I just found your website a few days ago . . . I’m a new mom of a 3 month old baby girl and am not doing too much before the next round of feeding, burping, diaper change, begging her to go back to sleep. I LOVE your site - you guys are hilarious and I’d rather read you than sleep! Thanks so much for the laugh-out-loud chuckles I get from your posts.
I read the below lines and was hooked. It described me to a tee!
“I am tired, and distracted with details of keeping tabs on the baby nail clippers and making sure there is always milk in the house. Lame? Maybe. But I’d guess I’m not alone. Anyone else feeling oppressed by having to check in with their partner before they take a shower?” (My husband doesn’t even check with me before he books tee times on Saturday mornings!)
I have loved this blog through two newborns and faithfully check a few times per week. It is also on my list of blogs to check out to new mom friends, but the new format blew me away!!
So fresh and new…keep it up.
Fingers crossed….KRISTEN
I have been by a few times on your site, I am intrigued but not yet a subscriber. I think more interesting stories about you folks would add a personal connection.
Otherwise, pretty good layout, user friendly and easy to read.
Regards,
Amy
Like many others…I love how the activities are searchable by age!
I have enjoyed the encouraging nature of your website. One post I remember was when you suggested we set the timer and GET IN THE PICTURES w/our babes! There’s hardly any pics of me on our computer! I started doing that and told all my girlfriends so now we compare pics we took at home doing random stuff…I love the new site! It’s cool how you made the categories a little more user friendly. Congrats!
I love the redesign! I love the different age buttons, but I also love the middle column that has so many different categories. It really gives you a sense of all the different information you have. Fabulous!
wow! I’m a fan of this site!~~ And love this design!! Keep up the great work!!
I’m delighted to see the site includes pre-school activities - I read Rookiemoms when my little guy was actually little - now he’s three and a half and I’m back for more as I expect a little girl (next week!!) At times I’m so focused on the needs and interests of a three-year-old, it’s hard to imagine that a baby will be a challenge. I know she will, though, and I’ll be glad to have some advice and reminders. Thanks for the slick new look!
I found the site in my last month of pregnancy, and I’ve been checking back (at least) weekly ever since. Just the name “Rookie Moms” gives me something to hold onto during those times I feel anxious and unprepared for this new job. Thanks so much for this site, it’s been a real pick-me-up for this rookie mom
I love the new site, very eye-catching! Today I’m loving on your infant Halloween costumes post, we have a baby due any day now and I am a huge Halloween fan, so I’ve gotta get working on an idea. Thanks!!!
I love the redesign. My favorite part is the activities separated by age group.
I love that the browse activities by age is HUGE and so easy to find (upper right hand corner). Not only that, but the page just looks more fresh and not as “busy”. Great Job!
I love the way you can search for information according to your kids’ age ranges. And the new design is easier to read! Thanks for all the time and energy you put into this wonderful site!
I love the Thesis theme, I think it looks really nice and I love the activities sorted by age — but can you ditch the black dashed lines around that area? I think all it needs there is another gray line separating it from the content below.
Overall, love it, great job!
I’m loving the big blocks separated by age–right at the top. I like coming to check out all the different activities…but always forget to go search for the ones that will work for me *right now*. So the easy to see organization is a boon to me and my “free time”!
It looks very chic! I like the new design!
I really appreciate your activities sorted by age. When you aren’t around other children sometimes you aren’t sure what works for them at what age, for example when to start peek-a-boo.
I’m NOT a rookie mom…or at least I thought I wasn’t! Your site has so many constructive ideas that have added depth and complexity (the GOOD kind) to my mothering. My stay-at-home dad husband is loving it too!
Love the new look! It looks clean and fresh, and same great content! Cute pic!
As a new mom-to-be in a big city, your blog makes me feel like part of a community already. I especially like the city-specific suggestions and am excited for adventures with my little one. Thanks!
Who knew the perfect site could be more perfecter. Love it!
The realistic mom-to-be necessity list! How many people have tried to talk me into needing so much stuff, but the three of us have to share 950 SF of space in downtown Boston! There are only so many receiving blankets and toys that a newborn baby needs! Thank you for some sanity in a over-cluttered world.
I like the easy breezy organizational buttons by age. I also like the top banner… makes me think of a bakery or chocolate shop.
I love the new streamlined look - and being able to seperate by ages.
Keep up the great work
I love that you have buttons for browsing activities by age. I think it would be great if you had a link in the same place to browse activities by tag. I know that tags are below, but it would be very convenient to hop to them right away!
I’m soon to be a new mom. I love the fact that I can find idea based on the child’s age. So many books and blogs that I look at only have ideas for older children. I’m anxious to try them out on my own little one.
I like the way the activities are broken down into ages on the right side.
Congrats on the new look! It looks fantastic!
I love the new look, it is very clean. I love the wonderful ideas for getting out and doing things with my new little guy to help me from letting myself get stuck in the house. You do a great job and I can’t think of anything you could better personally. :o)
I like how it is separated by age!
I love the site…it’s so user friendly. Keep up the good work…I know it’s not as easy as it looks!!
seeryusfam@msn.com
Your activity suggestions rock and are so easy to navigate!!!!
I like that you can browse by age of baby. This site is obviously geared toward doing, rather than just buying stuff, which most mom sites seem to end up being about. I like that. Keep up the good work!
I love the extensive list of toddler activities. I’ve put many of them on the calendar to try out in the next few weeks.
Maybe some holiday related activities? DS is already really excited about Halloween.
I am brand new to your site (thanks Prizey!) and am IN LOVE! You have so much good, handy, practical information presented in such a fun way. I guess I don’t really have anything substantial to say other than I’m going to enjoy hopping around here a little more this afternoon
Thanks!
Ok, first I have a confession… this is my first time to your site. However, I love it already! There are so many great things that I don’t even know where to begin. As some other commenters pointed out, I really just like that it’s by down to earth moms, for down to earth moms. What more can I ask for?
I love this new redesign. I love that you have things organized in baby’s months. Perfect for finding something quickly!
Great work
tuesdayef (at) aol dot com
I love your activity ideas! I’ve bookmarked your site so I can read the rest of them later!
I am another fan of the age blocks. I also like that it’s all cross-referenced. I love crafty ideas for any age.
I haven’t seen your site before, but before I even read the detail, I was impressed by the large boxes with the ages in. Thats what all moms want - no messing, looking at the small print. I am not officially a rookie because I have a boy aged nearly 4, but I have started fertility injections (last night) so know I’m going to be a rookie again within the year. Yipee. - believe me, after 5 years it will feel new again.
I also LOVED that there is a prenatal area on the site - yours is the first I have seen to do that. I have added you as a fave. Good luck with your business and children.
ps I have a BSc (Hons) in IT, touching on end user software design - if you did this nip and tuck by yourselves, you should be very proud. Sorry for the essay. Good luck to all.
i love the activities by age section..it helps me to think of something unique and fun to do with my daughter
Hi, the site is looking really good. I’ve only just seen the different areas for things to do (mine is LA _ never knew about the crying theatres at The Grove). Did you have it before?
Thanks for the sweeps.
love the site, love the fact you are real- not a fake I am perfect- you folks show you are human and make us laugh
Ah, I love how you’ve streamlined the site - it makes it more inviting! Can I suggest more streamlining, esp on the main page? The 2 sidebars actually caught my attention first. Maybe separating them and putting them on the two sides? Either way, thumbs up for great content!
I stumbled on your site today. This is great ya’ll look soooooo cute! Wish I had a friend to go though my pregnancy with.
i love your site1! i actually wouldn’t change anything.
I like the big blocks of age-appropriate activities, and the color scheme is so fresh and bright!
I love the activities by age. It is nice not to have to sort through things to find the appropriate info. Your design is so crisp and sleek. I love it!!
I would so enjoy this giveaway (as would the other commentors! LOL). So fun!!
My email is sarahw56@gmail.com
Thank you!
I love how relateable you all are.
I like the clean look and new organization!
First time here~Your site is beautiful and so easy to navigate! Keep up the good work.
~Amy
I love the new look - and how easy it is to find the activities by babies age. Thanks for the chance!
I just love how easy it is to navigate! I can always find the area I need
Looks great girls!!!
who is the super organized fanatic? kidding! I love your site b/c it is always so CLEAN, and organized, set up by age, and not bombarded by advertisements that you can’t find what is related to your site and what is linking you to another site! beautiful!
I love the design of the site. Especially the colors. Lavender and brown look very nice together.
I love how convenient it is to browse activities by the age of the baby. This is very useful!
Wow! I just discovered your site and already I LOVE it!!! I browsed through the activities you have for the 4-6 months age. I’ve already been inspired by some of them. Can’t wait to read the rest of your site. I love that you have the activities separated into age categories as well as the type of activity.
Very cool site! I love the new clean look!
I LOVE the activity blocks. im going to go now and see what I should do with my 7 month old today!
One of the first things I noticed about your site was the blocks on the right with activities for little ones by age group. I am always looking for new things to do with my toddler and enjoy reading the ideas you guys post on this blog. So, I think you are doing a fine job, keep it up! Thanks for the chance on such a fabulous giveaway and congrats on 3 years!
I like that things are seperated by age groups. Plus everything just looks great in general! Great job!!! Thank you for the chance to win!!!
Blessings,
Kathrine
thewehrungs@yahoo.com
I love the age appropriate activities you provide. Being a stay at home mom I tend to get a little ummm…antsy! And we run out of activites and sometimes there aren’t a lot of things for the younger babies to do. Your site gives so many great ideas!!
ladeebug224 at hotmail dot com
I DO love the new site. Congrats.. I love your book too. I’f love to win one of my very own because I’ve just been borrowing. EDD two weeks and counting! wahoo. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, but your blog is also a light for me and other mommies (rookie or otherwise). Keep up the awesome stuff you do!
I love the activities by age boxes that are so easy to find and use.
Always love the ability to search by age
gkstratos@yahoo.com
I LOVE the baby activities lists! I’m planning on using these for my toddler, preschooler, and baby-on-the-way!
In addition to your tags, I like they way you have divided activities up in the age blocks at the top of the page. It makes it easy to navigate and find what you need. Thanks for the giveaway.
The site is very well organized. You have so much great information, it can be overwhelming, but I can easily navigate to find what I am looking for. The colors are relaxing as well and nice to look at.
Favorite post: You know, just last night I made the easy kids pants. It was so easy and it worked just like y’all said it would. Loved it, and I’m making another pair tonight from another piece of fabric.
I just found your site so I can’t say anything about the old layout but I love this layout! Grouping activities by age is great - especially how you’ve broken it up so much. I’ve seen other sites that break things down 6 months at a time but 6 months is a long time especially in the first year. Thanks for this! You’re definitely going into my bookmarks.
I really like the browse by age boxes but I am not crazy about the big brown band at the top of the blog (needs a little something there still). There a compliment and a suggestion!
I love that it’s organized by age. Great idea. Thanks
I love how you have activities by age! I’m always looking for new things to do with my little ones. I really like Activity #329: Play hide and seek. We love to do this and even my 2 year old has a great time!
I love the new look! Too cute, it’s nice to go to our age range if we want to look up where we are and things we can do, see and try.
Can’t wait to see more. We link to you all the time! 
I like the look of the site. It looks clean and is easy to navigate. I like the age blocks and that you can also choose an activity by type. I really related to Activity #574: Survive breastfeeding. I had similar feelings and questions regarding my 1 year old too.
laylarenee[at]cfl.rr.com
I’m new to the blog, but I really like the Toddler activities–I’m anxious to try some of them and tell my sister-in-law about them. Thanks!
I love your site! Keep it up!
Oh Holy Crap. I just found the website. Mr. Man is 7 weeks old and I needed it big time. Minutes ago, I read the “Did Do” list to the husband and he likes it too. Thank you. For a while. before he headed off to work, he was asking what my plans were for the the day. I tried to be nice but inside I thought, “Dude, if you only knew…” I think he’s starting to get it but he’s still, you know, a man.
wow i love to try and win this not so much for my self but for my friend who’s haveing her frist i think this would make a grate gift for her thanks
VERY NICE! I can’t believe I haven’t seen this site before now. Will definitely be visiting again.
Feedback:
Something a little lighter or maybe just a dark purple taken from the hue on the background?
Definitely the big blocks of activity-by-age are a big win!
Would only suggest changing maybe the color of the header area - it reminds me of poop - at least on my screen…
Good job overall!
Love your “Only Kind of Know What I’m Doing” T shirt.
Your redesign is FABULOUS, ladies! Congratulations and much continued success to you!
First time here and I LOVE your site!! I completely appreciate the activities section that is organized by age. I found so many useful tips and am going to try tip #359 (egg hunt) this weekend. I’m always racking my brain to find new activities for my toddler that gets her outside and active. This site is now added as one of my favorites!! Oh, and thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com
You two helped convince me to get out of the house and tackle the big firsts — first trip to the grocery store with baby, first big errand day with baby, first lunch out with baby, etc. You two perfectly capture the anxiety that you must face and conquer as a rookie mom. Thanks! And I love the blog entries. They make me happy.
baby halloween ideas was really cute
jceko77@yahoo.com
I just found your site, and love the way you have the “months” seperated on what kiddos should be doing…I have an eight month old, so this is handy. Thanks for the chance to win.
mommykoala (at) live (dot) com
I LOVE the browse by age feature!!! Love it!!!
I just plain love this site.
I would love to refer friends to it if you would put up a “necessity list” for first time moms?!
thanks for all you do!!!!
abbey
I love the search by age feature. I also love the new mom advice you give. I’m expecting my first child (due in March ‘09) and am DEVOURING your site! Thanks for all of the fantastic suggestions!
I love the bright bold “Activities by Age” Calendar. I’d love to see a question and answer spot on the front, you could andwer a new question each week.
I am new to your blog but as soon as I saw the age buttons with activities i wanted to explore more! Perfect for busy mums! I’ll be back many times I’m sure!
Thanks
I love your site because it helps me realize that I am not alone! It also makes me laugh, and that’s a good thing.
i love how everything is organized by baby’s age…so many sites make it hard to find what i need, or i just have to google a specific topic.
I love the month-by-month activities!
Just discovered your site today, and I’m so excited! Still waiting for baby, but we’re starting to freak out about what’s to come, and it’s great to have both the practical advice and the virtual cameraderie. Congrats on your milestone!
I really like your website. Very cool name too! This is my first time on it so I’m exploring it and finding some interesting things!
This is my first time to the site, and the baby age categories caught my eye. Don’t think I could say anything to change since I haven’t really explored yet. Great giveaway, thanks!
I love the site design! Simple but chic! You guys have so much information for everyone at different stages. Love it!
I agree that the baby age categories are great! I read every day–or nearly.
What a nicely revamped site, love the new look and love to read all the entries. Love the baby age categories! So helpful!
I like how clear and well-organized your site is, not too cluttered but still plenty of information. The best part is, of course, the Browse Activities by Age of Baby blocks because it’s so handy for any parent to be able to find specific groupings like that. Keep up the great work!
I hadn’t made it here before, but I noticed and loved the “browse activities by age of baby” buttons right away! What a great way to ensure that you’re always seeing new (and age-appropriate) content! I’ll definitely be hanging out around your site!
I love your site its perfect how it is. I love how you guys keep it humorous
I like the new look, and the browse-by-age function. Useful!
This is my first time coming across your site, but it’s lovely and I think it’s great. I’d totally hang out with you ladies IRL-anyone up for a playdate?
I loved the article about finding a Halloween costume, I have been searching for a costume for my 14 month old that won’t become overheated in. I liked the idea of the jailbird pajamas that he can wear again. Thanks for the help.
I really love your banner. Probably because of the color and the little graphic on the right hand side. I like it because it looks like a ‘rookie’ drew it. Thanks for the chance. What a wonderful prize pack!
Happy 3rd!
Attitude–I love the attitude of the site. You make big things seem so small and calm when I need it and make me laugh at this crazy world of parenting.
I have a toddler now and another one coming soon and this site certainly helps me when I have brain drain on what to do with the toddler while my body screams for me to sleep.
love it!
Rookie moms is great! My daughter is only three weeks old and I’m looking forward to Rookie Mom-ing with her as she gets older. Thanks for giving me lots of great ideas!
love the new look. always love your posts. clever with words & as always with advice. thanks for sharing all the wealth of information!
love the new layout. what I really enjoy from your blog is the honesty and humor. I always get a good chuckle when I’m reading your blog at work (which is when I usually check out my favorite blogs).
I don’t have any suggestions on things to change - I love your site. The ideas, the humor, and now the easy-to-click-on categories for finding activities by age!
Great fresh look! Looks awesome and so does the book!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!
I have been a big fan of this site for over a year now, since I stumbled upon it soon after my son was born. I have found so many great ideas and activities for us to do together. Love the new look. Thanks for sharing all the fabulous info!
I love the “activities by age” section…this will make life so easy when our second is born in a few months! Thanks!
I love the new face lift and your website. I love to come here to get ideas on what to do with my daughter and myself. So much fun!
I love the colors and clean look. and while I DID figure out the labels way back when, I do like the easy to find, big, buttons for age groups.
i like the fresh and clean design of your site. it’s so easy to navigate and get directly to the area you’re looking for. your ideas are creative, community building, innovative and sanity saving. thank you for everything!
I have always loved that you guys had tabs to find activities by age. It made it so easy to find ideas with my first kiddo. The second baby? Poor little guys rarely gets his own activity, I’m just too busy! He’s just along for the ride, and he seems to be lovin’ it.
I love the support the site offers as well as places to go with babies..I love,love ,love it..
I LOVE how you now have the activities all separated by ages. It sure makes finding age appropriate activities easy and fun. Thanks for the facelift!
Age function makes the navigation through the info easier.
I love how easy it is to find information based on your baby’s age. Your site is really organized and user friendly. Thanks for the chance to win!
Great site. At 36 weeks pregnant, I know I will be back with questions and ideas!
To be honest, the reason I got hooked on your site was your blog. I just loved reading the first person account of someone (thankfully) going through all the parenting phases/trials before me. And since I used to live in Berkeley and SF, I read your local references with great longing and nostalgia. Keep up the great work!
I love how you have the activities divided by age group. I’ll definitely be checking back for some activity ideas.
The activities by age! Genius.
I don’t know how long you’ve been around, but, I sure could have used this place when my other two were littler! Luckily, I found this place in time for Numero 3 and we have used a lot of the suggestions we read about here. Thanks for the great site (and contest).
I think it’s great that you recognize that it is important for mom and baby to get out of the house and do things!!
I love finding random activity ideas… just surfing from tag to tag. Even if I don’t end up doing many of them, I bet the ideas will re-surface in a few months, only I’ll think they’re my original thoughts! Thanks, RookieMoms.
I really like the Activities by Age. It’s been so helpful!!
