    I have done several canvas prints and also metal prints. I have decided I really like the metal prints because they have much sharper details and just seem brighter. I can almost always find a Groupon for metal prints (as well as Canvas) so be sure to look there. :) All these adorable...

    Please help me decide..

    Is your husband still staying at home with the girls or has he gone back to work too? And if he did go back to work, is his schedule at all flexible? If you are still the sole financial provider for the time being, I would seriously consider the new job. What kind of future potential is...

    Neither of my nursers easily took to spout cups that had to be tilted. We used straw cups and they worked well. I think I picked that suggestion up off of kellymom. The Nuby ones with handles were both of my kids first cups...

    I need holiday party last minute snack ideas

    We host a lot of gatherings. My go to's for appetizers depending on how much work I want to put in are: smoked gouda cheese(or any other "different" cheese) and crackers and maybe even a sausage roll to go with it. Love Dip (cream cheese and hot sauce mixed together) with chips or...

    We didn't do infant lessons but I started them at 2 with Cooper and he started swimming like a little fish by the end of the first lesson. My boss' daughter teaches them all Summer at their pool which is right outside my office window and I have watched some of the youngest children excel the...

    I tried the No Cry Sleep Solution and it just didn't work for us. The one that did work was The Sleep Lady's Good Night Sleep Tight. It is also geared for many ages so it has helped me with regressions as well. I think it involved a little crying possibly, but it wasn't anything I was...

    The great thing is that they work great for infants too without any special inserts. I froggy legged Cooper until he was old enough to spread his legs. By froggy legging him, it put him high enough up in the carrier that it was comfortable for both of us and his head was always right there for...

    http://www.webmd.com/asthma/guide/asthma-control-with-anti-inflammatory-drugs We use Budesonide which I think is also referred to as Pulmicort. He takes a breathing treatment of it each night before bed, then follows it with some water to clean out his mouth. If we have to do a regular...

    Cooper has asthma that is brought on by colds. Every single time he gets a cold it settles in his chest. Or if he has allergies nonstop, it always ends up as a cough settled in his chest. In daycare, you can imagine how often he has a cold....pretty much all winter. Last winter our ped...

    Not scientific, but does give a lot of info and things to consider. We did a mixture of both with both of our kids. I did purees but also gave them larger pieces of food to work on BLW style for their own enjoyment and learning about texture etc. I did not start solids until around 6 months...

    Barbara, this is where I do my research. It isn't parent reviews, but the state inspections etc. I got a good idea as to how well my daycare was staying up with standards etc etc. Every place is going to have issues of some sort at some point but it gives you an idea of the nature. I check...

    Has she had a cold lately? If this is not normal for her, I would also wonder if she might have an ear infection. Just something to consider. Is it hard to get her back down and settled when she wakes? Ear infections are by far the one thing that have caused major havoc on my kids sleep...way...

    I found out the gender of both my babes at 13 and 14 weeks. Luckily out NT was a tad late each time. Our U/S tech is really really good at early predictions and he was right both times. But he told me both times that the difference between 12 and 13 weeks is big. At 12 weeks it can look like...

    How much do you spend on food?

    Just like everyone else, WAY TOO MUCH! On average I spend $250 a week at the grocery store and that feeds 4 of us. That feeds me 3 meals a day since I take leftovers. I try to only eat out lunch once a week and I often do that on the weekend with the kids. We rarely eat out for dinner bc it...

    I have an amber teething anklet on Cooper. I was always too scared to put it around their neck and never used one with Devin b/c I didn't realize there were anklets. He has been cutting his 2 yr molars for weeks now and I feel like it has helped a lot. It doesn't help that he keeps getting...

    I went back to work at 10 weeks with both of my kids. I actually started working remotely from home part time at more like 2 or 3 weeks, but it was totally my choice to help us out financially and not burn through all of my vacation time or savings. I also successfully pumped for the first...

    It sounds like either an intolerance to his formula or maybe even reflux. Their tummies are small and can only hold so much food which is why they eat so often. There will come a day when your baby sleeps through the night and you wake in a total panic thinking you didn't hear them, and...

    Need flat iron help!

    I left my Chi for my Babyliss and will never go back. I love it! It gets super hot and the titanium is wonderful! I know they sell them sometimes at TJMaxx for super cheap so it is worth keeping your eye out for for the future.

    Wimmin! Do you track your cycles?

    I have always tracked mine. My OB showed me an app for my iphone called PTracker Lite that I really like. We aren't having anymore children, but I can see how it would have been very useful when we were trying to get pregnant before. And it tells me when my ovulation days are and it has been...
