A paci can have a remarkably calming effect on a baby. When Baby Mwah and I are out and about, he loves to suck on his pacifier while riding in his stroller or while I carry him in his sling. Alas, he frequently drops his paci onto the dirty ground. I know people say that […]
Shape Your Mommy Body with Yummie Tummie: One of Oprah’s Favorite Things!
A friend of mine, whose body bounced right back into shape after her two kids, told me her secret was shapewear. Put it on before you even leave the bed and don’t take it off for two weeks. Maybe it was just lucky genetics for her, but the shapewear is worth a try, right? I […]

Three Steps to Better Skin
I learned from my mom that there are three steps to healthy skin. Wash with a cleanser specifically designed for the face, exfoliate with a toner (clarifying lotion), and moisturize.

Baby can see everything going on around him as well as mommy. The Scootababy is intended for babies five months and older (up to […]
Bow to Princess Bow Bow
When my little one’s hair grew longer and longer and covered her sweet violet eyes, I tried a few clips and headbands. Then she started tripping more than her usual toddler self, and my search got more desperate. Finally, she noticed some older girls wearing barrettes and decided she wanted a “pretty bow” of her […]
