This marks the first time I’ve posted a guest review from someone who did NOT receive a product in exchange. I’ve known Susan since my early university years – we did the whole frosh week organization cult thing together. (And may have enjoyed a beverage or two along the way. There may also have been dancing…
Miss Q as a fairy princess at Great Wolf Lodge
Soma Organic Mattress set #SafeSleep
I don’t believe in going organic at all costs. In fact, if it doesn’t make sense financially for your family to do the organic thing, I don’t think you should. My bet is that your kids are better off playing soccer, taking swimming lessons and having mom and dad be as stress-free as possible. But…
Blooming Bath – a unique baby bath tub (guest review)
This guest review was written by Sandra, who is currently on mat leave with her four month old, Baby F, and four-year-old big brother J, the superhero (proudly starting JK this month).

Joovy Room2 (that’s squared) – the ultimate pack ‘n play
Like many other new parents, I bought a playard (a.k.a. pack ‘n play, playpen) before my first child was born. And, boy, was it fancy.

Name Your Tune, volumes 1 and 2
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, it’ll come as no surprise that I love music. As a closet Broadway star, I’ll belt out anything from a tune from Wicked to the Itsy Bitsy Spider. I think imparting a love of music in our kids is important, and I think the gift of…

Contigo Striker AUTOSPOUT kids’ water bottle
I’ve bought my share of kids’ cups with straws. Whether it’s been a straw sippy cup or the take-and-toss variety, I just figured they all had their flaws. The leaks. The random explosions of liquid in my face. The lids that pop off if thrown to the ground. (Which, in my house, is every bleeding…
