Between sub-zero temperatures, snowstorms, and icy roads, we’ve found ourselves stuck inside the house quite a few times already – and there is still plenty of winter left to go! Here are our favorite strategies for avoiding cabin fever when we’re trapped inside. Break out the crafts: I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to fit in messy crafts when we’re always running out to a playdate or preschool.

It’s January, and if you’re like me, you’re dreaming of summer and the idea of a three-week beach vacation.  But if you live in the real world, the mere thought of an exotic beach vacation has to be scaled back into a small weekend getaway with your kids.

Cloth Diapers: A Dad’s Perspective
January 24, 2014 4:55 pm | by

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is a guest post, written by Zachary Leibel, a cloth supporter,  teacher of reusable diapers, and dad to two boys. When my wife and I found out we were pregnant with our first child, we were naturally very excited, but also knew we’d have to make some decisions.  One of the decisions we made was that we were determined to go from a two person income down to just my income so that my wife could stay at home with the baby.  Some people thought we were crazy for even considering this in today’s world and said things

Share the Love now shipping diapers to families in need. #sharethelove

A few days ago several of my friends posted a slideshow of moms supporting other moms on Facebook. The point of the slideshow, at least what I got out of it, was that we should all support each other regardless of the differences in our parenting choices and experiences. What really struck me is that, in my role as Share the Love Program Coordinator, I see this every day. We have an amazing network of moms who, without judgement, just want to help other moms. Out of kindness and love, Share the Love hosts from all over the country with a
