Parenting tips and product reviews from a green mom of 3 crazy kids!
See that beautiful face? I would do anything to protect it and keep it safe. Now that I have a little girl of my own, I think often about what it will be like for her to grow up. I am afraid for her, knowing that the world is not a friendly place for a growing girl. There is far too much pressure to be perfect, to fit in, to be thin… I believe it is our place, our responsibility, {Read More}

The Mother Co. website is filled with helpful information and tips to help parents raise their children! They also carry many products that bring hands-on {Read More}
Making the transition from crib to bed is difficult for most children. I went through this with both of my boys. Both kept getting out of bed to play after I left the room, being freed from the bars of the crib, even though they knew they were supposed to stay in bed. Any parent that has been through this knows it can be an incredibly hard battle to fight! With the new and ingenious, mom-invented SleepBuddy sleep system, parents {Read More}
As a mother of a nearly-4-year-old, I am constantly getting questioned about what I am planning to do for school for him. Now, I know that it’s still a bit early for everyone to be so concerned (and really, why is it everyone so interested anyway?) but with the beginning of the school year looming closer and closer for many, it seems that I get this question from friends, family and even strangers at the grocery store! And my answer {Read More}

Welcome HOME, little girl! It has been 2 weeks since you were born but they have been, by far, the longest 2 weeks of our lives! We have been through so much.

You are so healthy! You are such a miracle! {Read More}
Please forgive my absence from my blog the past few days.. You are about to read the very difficult journey that my little Natalie Rose made into this world, just last Thursday and about my crazy life since.. Natalie was born on Thursday, June 28th, at 7:06pm. She weighed 8 lbs, 5.1 oz and was 20 in long! Now are you ready for our story? (It’s a doozy, just to warn ‘ya!) Yes? Ok, here we go. As you all {Read More}
Raising Healthy Eaters If you are like me, you want your kids to eat healthy. Who wouldn’t? However, I think there’s a big difference between kids who eat healthy because they HAVE to and kids who eat healthy because they WANT to.

Teach a child why he should eat healthy and how {Read More}
