I’m positively giddy. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a few yards of fabric before. If I had to commit to just one baby sling, I think it would be my new Zolowear Ring Sling in Solstice. I bought it from Along for the Ride and used my coupon code–and I could […]
If this Glider’s a Rockin’
Sure, babies are super cute, but Mom deserves some swag, too. Gliders are a wonderful way to show mom you appreciate her. Pregnant moms, nursing moms, and moms who just need a break will love a glider. Newborns are soothed by rocking and many babies nurse better with a little motion. Gliders are also a […]
The Best Playards: Lightest, Budget, Compact, and Full Feature
I am an obsessive comparison shopper. I research size, weight, price, convenience, style, and features–locating the best deals for you!

Playards: The Best and The Lightest
Even parents who practice attachment-style parenting occasionally need a safe place to place baby when tending to a hot stove, traveling, or visiting child-free friends.

How many items of baby gear can a mama say she uses every day? The Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper is the only thing in the house I can say I use more often than the Safer Bather. Recent studies suggest that babies sleep more safely in the same room with mama. Placing your baby to sleep […]
End Colic and Help Baby Sleep: This Swaddling Blanket IS a Miracle
Do not even consider purchasing a cheap imitator. The Miracle Blanket is the real deal. Baby Diva earned her name between approximately weeks three through ten, during which time she did the colic thing. The kiddo would refuse to sleep anywhere but in my arms–and I had to be perpetually moving. As soon as I […]
Mama Luxe’s Favorite Diaper Bags
Silk brocade… luxurious, sleek, beautiful. These satin-smooth bags will take you through any season and any fabulous situation. Hmmm…Mama Luxe’s favorite diaper bags bear a striking resemblance to Mama-To-Be’s favorite briefcase. Currently I carry Baby Diva’s gear in the Kecci Shanghai II Mommy Diaper Bag in Chartreuse. I get at least one compliment a week […]
A Safer Way to Bathe Baby
When I placed Baby Diva in her first bath, I was so excited. “She’ll love this,” I thought. The screeching that followed was as disappointing as it was earsplitting. Dutifully, I washed Baby Diva every few days, but it was an unpleasant experience for both of us. Then, one day, the Safer Bather along with […]
