Preparing for baby’s arrival
2012/01/27 By 2 Comments
I think this guest post holds true whether it's your first or third! Katie has some great tips here so please read on! Five Ways to Prepare for Your Baby's Birth Having a new baby is both exciting and nerve-wracking. While you may be looking forward to bringing home your baby, being worried about getting everything done in time is natural. If you’re an expecting parent, here are some tips to keep in mind that may help in your preparations: Tip #1: Stock Up On Essentials A newborn baby requires a lot of things such as diapers, an installed car seat, wipes, clothing and formula. If you’re breastfeeding, consider getting nursing bras and pads. Stock up on all these items a few weeks before your due date, because once the baby comes having time to run out to the store may not be a reality. Tip #2: Set Up the Baby Room A baby’s room is a special place. Setting it up before he or she comes home will help prepare you for the reality of your baby’s impeding arrival. A … [Read more...]

2012/01/26 By 23 Comments
It happens - our kids get fevers. Usually it happens in the middle of the night so everybody is running around with no clue of what to do but to stop their little one from feeling icky. And that usually involves acetaminophen, no matter what brand name it is. The trouble is, it's hard enough to figure out that dosing during the day with enough rest. Try squinting, with no glasses, in the half-dark, with no sleep and it's darn near impossible. So PediaCare has helped us parents out a lot by introducing a new dosing system for their products. Here's a video to help describe exactly what has changed: … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Get Your Kid Outside (Guest Post)
2012/01/25 By 2 Comments
I'm lucky that my kids are still huge fans of going outside. However, I expect that to change in the not-so-distant future. So I will be glad to be armed with these suggestions from Heather Smith. 5 Ways to Get your Kid Outside When we were children we spent our time outside, playing until the sun had set. You could hear a collection of “Just five more minutes” and “Oh man!” coming from the neighborhood children when parents announced that it was time to head inside for the evening. Nowadays we try everything we can to get our children outside. We have many devices that entice the children to hide from the great outdoors like computers, video games and television. Here are a few ways to get your kid active and outside: Camp Out: If you have a tent or the means to go buy a tent, do so. If not try old sheets and towels and look around the garage for old boxes. Making forts and tents are tons of fun. Serve them lunch or snack in their camp and watch them play for hours in … [Read more...]

The Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy (Review)
2012/01/22 By 1 Comment
The Baker's Daughter is a new novel by Sarah McCoy that will be released on January 24th. Here's a summary of the book: In 1945, Elsie Schmidt is a naive teenager, as eager for her first sip of champagne as she is for her first kiss. She and her family have been protected from the worst of the terror and desperation overtaking her country by a high-ranking Nazi who wishes to marry her. So when an escaped Jewish boy arrives on Elsie’s doorstep in the dead of night on Christmas Eve, Elsie understands that opening the door would put all she loves in danger. Sixty years later, in El Paso, Texas, Reba Adams is trying to file a feel-good Christmas piece for the local magazine. Reba is perpetually on the run from memories of a turbulent childhood, but she’s been in El Paso long enough to get a full-time job and a fiancé, Riki Chavez. Riki, an agent with the U.S. Border Patrol, finds comfort in strict rules and regulations, whereas Reba feels that lines are often blurred. Reba’s … [Read more...]
