My kids and I attend a playgroup regularly with several other moms and their kids. It's a pretty tight-knit group because we've been hanging out together since our first-borns were just a few months old.
We have a tradition in this group. Whenever a lady is about to have ...
In 2006 there were a slew of articles and commentaries on whether or not breastfed babies had higher IQs than their formula-fed counterparts. Fast-forward to 2008 and a new study again claims that babies who are exclusively breastfed actually do have a higher IQ. So there is no doubt that ...
I saw an article yesterday about the clash between our modern culture and our biology. Basically, the author had interviewed a lot of women trying to conceive later in life and came to the shocking conclusion which many of us “older” women have already discovered: reproducing when you are nearing ...
The lab tests are out and it doesn`t look good for the dietary supplements Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula Products. The FDA tests detected concentrations of chromium in these products which are considered hazardous to human health – in fact, 17 times the acceptable concentrations. The same ...
I know that the nose bulb syringe - also known as the nose bulb aspirator - is one of the first things a pediatrician will urge parents to use on babies who are having a hard time breathing through their noses because of a cold or other illness. Lord ...

No, I don't have a bucket I carry around with me while I travel. This is in reference to the movie Bucket List but my list is modified to list the places my husband and I traveled to before we had baby #1, and then a list of the ...

When our fathers were kids, their fathers were held to a different standard of what made a "good" dad. At that time, a good dad was one who didn't beat his kids, or get loaded every night of the week. He provided for his family financially, and maintained ...
Don’t get me wrong. I feel very lucky to have gotten pregnant so late in life. I also feel so lucky to have two healthy baby boys at the same time. But because a multiple pregnancy was considered at my age high-risk, and because I had to stay in bed ...

If I could do it all over again, I’d prepare more prior to the birth of my first child. I really had no clue how something as “simple” as having a child would drastically change my life! Having said that , let me assure you that I ...
I'm a relatively liberal mom, but there was one thing I was never willing to do: allow my baby to try soda. It's probably easier because I don't really drink soda at all, so it wasn't much of an issue. I will admit, though, that there were plenty ...

Their findings were based upon a 6 year study of 9,000 children and were published in the European Respiratory Journal recently. The findings show that having a dog in ...

I sat my kids down to watch the First Words DVD from So Smart. My daughter is beyond the age range for this DVD since she's 4 and age range for the DVD is 9-36 months, but since my son falls neatly into the suggested ages she was game ...
Shortly after my wife and I found out we were pregnant with our first child, we made the four-hour drive to my hometown to visit my parents and tell them the news. On our way there, we stopped at a bookstore and picked up a baby name book to ...
Within two years of graduating from college, I got married, and had my first child. Three more children followed quickly after and by the time I was 30, I had 4 children. I don’t for a minute regret having my children,(as opposed to the regret I have about marrying ...
When my first baby was born I only knew what I had read in books. I'd never really had much exposure to newborns and babies because I was the youngest kid in my family. After I came home from the hospital I was amazed at how little I ...
I had lunch with a group of ladies the other day. We were a multicultural bunch, coming from different countries and cultures – from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and Asia. We had several things in common though – we all spoke English, we were all expats in Switzerland, and ...
