Kids and clutter

Got kids? If you do, chances are you have clutter too. Many parents, myself included, follow the old 'forest for the trees' principle--if you concentrate on the kids' stuff, you can't see what a mess your whole house actually is! Well, now perhaps ...

A lid for the crib?

We just purchased a crib for our eight month old son. Previously he spent his evening snugged cozily in the bottom of our pack and play, where he was quite comfortable and safe until he both grew out of it and was able to get his head over the top ...

An exersaucer saved my life

In my quest to find something both entertaining and educational for my six month old son to do that will also free up my hands a little I've found myself worn out. The older he gets the more mobile my baby has become. His desire to, well, just DO ...

Mat dilemma

My six month old son is officially all over the place. He scoots and crawls and rolls. He'd climb the walls if he could. His pack and play barely holds him any longer and does not provide sufficient play space, not to mention that he uses it to ...

Rolling and sleeping on the stomach

My son has a new hobby. Well, actually, it's not that new--he's been doing it for nearly a month now. My son is rolling. It's his favorite thing to do. It keeps me on my toes whenever I have to change him--in fact, I can barely keep him still long ...

Have baby: Will travel...things I've learned

In no particular order: Because I don't own a car, driving is an adventure, especially when you're surrounded by careening semis. Also, basically no one seems to know how to drive (including us). My husband can put together the pack and play ...

Have baby: Will travel...on the road, again

Well, it's just after 5:00 AM on Saturday and I am ready to get back into action. After a near nervous breakdown trying to reassemble the pack and play and a quick (albeit gigantic) burrito from Chipotle, which totally hit the spot, we went to ...

Have baby: Will travel...on the road

Oh MY GOD. Today, and especially this morning, has been nearly as insane as when I went into labor. I know it's my first time traveling with an infant and everything, but I think I might lose my mind if I don't get to take a shower and just go to ...

Have baby: Will travel...get packing!

As you may have noticed I've been relatively silent on the board these past few days. The sad truth is that all of my time has been eaten up planning for this trip. Now I have the enormous task of packing--for me, my son, my dog and essentially ...

Traveling with an infant

Well, I may have done it now. My husband and I have decided to take a road trip to see our parents in about a month. We'll be taking at least one of our dogs, and, of course, the baby. Outside of his trip home from the hospital, my son will never ...
