To my princess, I’m glad you were born. I’ll admit “glad” was not the word that came to my mind the day I sat staring at those two lines as the sounds of three little boys under 18 months of age bombarded me through the bathroom door.

May 2, 2011 5:09 am | by

What is a Snappi?The Snappi is a modern, diaper fastener that has become an important cloth diapering accessory. This easy-to-use fastener replaces the diaper pin.

How to Make New Friends
April 27, 2011 5:03 am | by

“Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other’s gold.” – Author unknown Life is full of changes, and arguably, none is more life altering than having a baby. It can be difficult if your friends aren’t having babies at the same time you are. Maybe their children are older, maybe you are the first within your social circle to have children. You may have found, like I have, that it’s difficult to have social outings, especially with those who don’t have similarly aged children. So, if you need new friends that are parents, how do
