I love movies. In fact, when my husband and I got married, we had a bit of a movie theme with our wedding (I kid you not)! Our save-the-date cards looked like a movie poster; all of the tables at the wedding reception were named after romantic movies; we had our formal pictures taken at an old movie theatre; and we had "soundtracks" as wedding favors.  



Some time ago, I had participated in this "game" of finding movie quotes…

The term "Going Green" has always elicited in me an eye roll. I'm sorry if I offend... again not my intention. But this whole idea of a lifestyle of green living is just clever marketing for the most part. However, I do believe that…

If you read my blog post yesterday about “Does My Baby Need a Specialty Formula?“, you probably noticed that I briefly mentioned that some mom’s felt that their baby seemed to be having issues digesting the cow’s milk formula (regular formula).  Allergies are on the rise  and more parents are…

Yesterday day I wrote a post called “Choosing the Right Type of Formula for Your Baby?”  If you read this post, you will find out how overwhelming it can be to pick a formula for your child.  Most parents start out with a cow’s milk based formula which is tolerated by most babies.  Some…

When I was pregnant with my each one of my children, I knew from the beginning that I was planning on breastfeeding my babies.  Breastfeeding was a personal preference and I realize that not everyone wants to or can breastfeed their baby.  I am the type of person who urges new…

Dad are you prepared for the birth of your new baby?  If not, now is a great time to begin preparing for delivery day.  It is important to be  prepared so that you know exactly what to do when your wife or significant appears to be in labor.  The best way to learn about labor is to attend a child birthing class with your wife or significant other; however, child birth classes…

Dad if you plan on staying at the hospital after your baby is born, you will need to pack a bag for your stay so that you don’t have to run back and forth from the hospital.  Of course, if you forget anything you have the luxury of going back home and grabbing items that you forgot (including items that your wife or significant other might have forgotten).  The laboring…

Mom’s aren’t supposed to get sick!  I wish it was true but even germs and icky critters take us down for the count.  Over the weekend, my husband finally convinced me to go see a doctor when I told him that I woke up around 4 AM on Saturday morning with a pounding headache.  It wasn’t your typical headache, this…
