I must have been crazy for taking my 4 month old daughter to Disney World at the end of May. However, we survived!

May 2, 2011 - No comment
Cloth diapering scares many parents because it seems like a lot of work and most parents think of the old "fold and pin" diapers which leak. Now cloth diapering can be just as easy as using a disposable diaper. Well, there is that little thing called laundry, however, many cloth diapering moms I've talked to really do not mind the extra load of laundry. And that's coming from moms who really hate doing laundry. (I'm one of them!) Let me break it down for you, step-by-step, and you'll see just...

Create Your Own Diaper Bag
May 2, 2011 - No comment
I hate the look of diaper bags. They're all very "baby-ish" which I suppose is appropriate. However, I love my handbags, totes and purses because they're stylish. I purchased one traditional diaper bag and I think I've used it a total of one time. After that, I decided I needed to create my own diaper bag. Here's how you can create your own diaper bag as well. Items you will need: One large tote or messenger bag One diaper wallet A travel wet wipes case 3 disposable diapers or cloth...

Baby [does not] Love Disco
May 2, 2011 - No comment
There is a traveling event for babies called "Baby Loves Disco". Basically this event turns a nightclub into a kid/baby friendly venue for babies to get down and party. My husband and I went to the event in Orlando and were really disappointed. Here's why: The event cost us $12 for each "walker". For the amount the event cost, there was not enough to do or see. There was the open dance floor which was great for kids to dance, one tiny corner where The Little Gym had set up one exercise,...
