As you know we’re always on the hunt for the latest info on safe, or safer, products for kids and families. And one sources I rely on (she does great research!) is Suzanne from Mommy Footprint. So when she sent me her latest post on the charming ingredient Triclosan which is found in many antibacterial [...]

WEEK 4: Fun In The Sun! I have reached the half way mark and I am starting to enjoy working out, who knew?! My trainer Bre keeps changing my workout and challenges me in new ways each week. She has been able to maintain my interest and she motivates me to work harder then I [...]

WEEK 3: I Love Being Called Awesome! Week 3 got off to a great start. I was feeling strong and discovered I had already lost 1 inch off my waist, 1 off my hips and 1/2 an inch off my chest! But then the end of the week rolled around and I was suffering [...]

I had an art teacher who used to say “a thing of beauty is a joy forever’. This may be true, but sometimes all of this beauty can be a bit overwhelming. On a daily basis, my daughter comes home from daycare with a wide assortment of popsicle stick creations, finger painted masterpieces and works [...]

My office is packed with things to test and try so I’m on the hunt for a few babies who are willing to run some fun products through their paces. I’m looking for a baby on the lower end of 6 to 16 lbs who wants to try a very cool, reusable diaper set (it’s [...]

When I popped into the Home Grow-In Grocer to get my Granola Girl fix a few weeks ago I blogged about it and then thought long and hard as to whether or not it would be a good subject for one of our daily editorial. It wasn’t particularly mum and baby focused but I thought [...]
picture perfect
Filed Under contests, parenting | August 11, 2009
We’ve all seen our share of unfortunate, tacky, unflattering, even hideous portraits. I always seem to receive particularly stellar ones at Christmas time. Whether it’s bad backgrounds, unnatural, forced poses or smiles, or simply an over zealous photographer who should be reminded of the phrase ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’ – we’ve [...]

Week Two: Shaped Like A Rectangle Week 2 did not get off to a good start. I wanted to make note of my measurements so I could keep track of my results as I train with Fitness On The Go. I pulled out the tape measure on Monday night and started to measure myself. [...]
