Sudden Infant Death Syndrome aka SIDS was a problem people USED to deal with...kind of like AIDS, right? At least that was MY perception with my first pregnancy back in 2007. It was a nice surprise pregnancy for my...
I used to dread when other parents would ask me how Miles was sleeping. It seems like the 'go to' questions for parents to commiserate over. But in my case all my friends had kids who slept 12 hour...
Spring has definitely sprung here in beautiful DFW, so it is time to clean out the closets. Get of rid of all the little shirts that are too tight and pants that are too short. Time to stop cramming...
I don't know for certain that I had postpartum depression (PPD). But, since 80% of mothers struggle with depression either before or after a baby's birth-- I'm guessing it's probable.

I received this as a gift, and...
I remember when I was pregnant, I saw a lot of articles in baby magazines about how to tactfully stop friends and family from touching your new baby, spreading all kinds of crazy germs. There were even lists of...
Hey moms! We are starting our first installment of Contibutor Confessions and I'm so excited to be hosting this time! What a great post to write! I learned a lot about my fellow contributors and a few things I...
