P&G Back to School Checklist and $50 Giveaway to the P&G E-Store!
I recently attended a Philadelphia mom blogger bash at the Nail Bar in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia (if you haven’t been, you need to go!) hosted by the lovely Audrey McClelland of Mom Generations and sponsored by P&G (the makers of Olay, Pampers, Bounty and Duracell, you know, just to name a few!). It was so […]
Summertime Treats for Mom on Totsy
Memorial Day is this weekend and I feel like summer has come out of nowhere… and I am totally unprepared. At the top of my list are some at-home beauty treatments, new sandals and summer clothes. There are some great sales on Totsy right now that are just in the nick of time for summer. […]
How to Relieve Teething Pain
Finding a teether that works can seem elusive because your baby’s preference will change as he progresses through different teething stages. I spent a lot of money testing different teethers when I was a new mom only to find my baby didn’t like most of them. With my second, I was fortunate enough to receive a complete set of MAM Teethers.
Butter up Mama! Mama Mio’s deliciously rich creams for your growing pregnancy
When I found out I was pregnant (with my first child!) I was OVER THE MOON. Then (with total vanity) I screamed “Please heaven above, NO stretch marks!”
Pregnancy is a huge blessing, particularly if you’ve been waiting awhile like my hubby and I have. But no matter how many books you read, horror stories you hear, tips you pick up from your friends or family, one can’t be fully prepared for the major changes to your body. Suddenly veiny chests, odd wrinkles around the neck, spider veins and dimples on the legs, and of course: possible stretch marks on the tummy…
Trudie Styler’s Weight Loss Yoga
After having three kids in 5 years my body is far from what it used to be. I was always the fit, under 110 lb girl. Not anymore. Now I have all that excess baby weight that I have been trying like crazy to lose. Diets help minimally as they help me lose weight but not the flab. Most exercise videos don’t keep my attention after a week or two, and the gym…well you try to get me there…good luck.
I have fallen in love with Trudie Styler’s Weight Loss Yoga DVD from Gaiam.
Baby Sleeps Safely and Soundly with the Halo SleepSack Swaddle
The Halo SleepSack Swaddle is the Cadillac of swaddlers. It’s lusciously soft, and it’s designed to not only help your baby sleep better by preventing the “moro” (startle) reflex, but also to reduce the risk of SIDS. And it’s so simple to use, even a sleep-deprived parent of a newborn can put it on swiftly and easily.
It’s well-known that immobilizing the arms of your infant by swaddling them helps them sleep better–but that’s sometimes easier said than done…
Momma Gotta Have: Miss Gigi-Mae Tether System
The Miss Gigi-Mae Tether System is a Momma Gotta Have. If you’ve ever reached around to grab a toy off the floor of your car while driving or picked your child’s sippy cup off a grimy restaurant floor, you’ll understand the need for this tether system.
This mom-invented product is designed to attach to a carseat, stroller or high chair. Simply attach baby’s toys or sippy cup to the four retractable clips to keep them off the floor and safely in reach. (You can view a demo of this product here. )

How to Do Less Laundry
I’ll admit that I was unprepared for the amount of laundry just one small, drooling baby can create. I never imagined that I’d be doing so many loads of laundry. BonnBonn Baby’s special fabric has reduced my laundry burden by keeping baby’s crib sheets, bibs and onesies dry and fresh-smelling– reducing the number of sheet […]
