Newborn Clothes

When preparing for our daughter’s arrival, I was hesitant to acquire any newborn sized outfits for her. My “pink” shopping addiction began with purchasing mostly zero to three month sizes. I limited myself to four newborn sized onsies. As my baby girl clothing collection grew, and subsequently my new addiction, I found myself buying clothing in every size but the newborn size. In my mind I figured my daughter could very well weigh over eight pounds at birth making the use of newborn clothes completely obsolete. After visiting my sister, brother-in-law and their five week old daughter, I started to … Continue reading →

The Curse of the Shopping Cart

I’ve always maintained that my daughter is one smart cookie (I’m her mother, what do you expect?), but I recently discovered that she is even wiser than I give her credit for. Since she was a newborn, my daughter has hated shopping carts. She would scream each time I placed her infant seat in one and wouldn’t stop screeching until I removed her from it. This trend continued during her toddler and preschool years. Now that she is six, I don’t even bother suggesting that she ride in a cart because my groceries would never fit if she actually took … Continue reading →

What Type Of Newborn Mother Are You?

Whether you’re a veteran mom or about to give birth to your first child, you probably have opinions about life with a newborn. My husband worked in a church last year, so we built close relationships with many people. Everyone in the church felt a close connection to us, even if we didn’t know them very well. It was wonderful. We found out I was expecting a baby in the fall, and as the due date approached, I got an increasing amount of comments from people that made me very nervous. They were comments like, “What hospital are you delivering … Continue reading →

What NOT to do with Your Newborn Twins

And the 2008 Worst Mother Award goes to… Sonia Ringoir. Okay, maybe not. However, if they handed out an actual award for poor parental behavior the 31-year-old Belgium mother would certainly be in contention for title. If you haven’t already heard, Ringoir stands accused of selling her newborn twin boys to pay for liposuction surgery. According to reports, Ringoir, a restaurant worker from the Belgian tourist haven of Ghent, was arrested and charged last week after her estranged husband ratted her out. And get this—when police questioned Ringoir’s current boyfriend, he says the mom sold her babies because her estranged … Continue reading →

October 1st Insect Repellent and Young Children Protecting my children is the number one priority, but one thing that I tend to avoid is insect repellent.

Guilt-Free Shopping

Is there such a thing? I suppose if you are a multi-millionaire shopping is almost something you have to do so you don’t die with money left over. (Oh, the horror!) But, for the rest of us non-Powerball winners we tend to pick and choose our “necessities” carefully. For example, diaper bags. If you have a baby you need a bag of some sort to tote around the ton of infant essentials associated with a newborn. The bag needs to be able to hold the equivalent of an entire nursery, but you still want it to be stylish (even if … Continue reading →

Ask a Baby Blogger: Just How Do You Do It?

The question reads: I don’t know how you survive as a homeschooling mom with 5 children under the age of 7! How do you ever get out? How do you give everyone enough attention? How can you keep your house clean or attend to your husband? I only have one and am completely overwhelmed. Seriously—just how do you do it? I chuckle as I read this question because I promise you that if you saw my house with books stacked high in places that are NOT the bookshelf—that would answer at least part of your question. I almost didn’t respond … Continue reading →

Mega Morning Sickness

Kate Middleton’s baby is due to arrive any day now. The royal newborn will make the Duchess and Prince William first-time parents. It’s hard to tell who is more excited about the impending birth—Kate and Wills or the paparazzi. Middleton is said to be counting down the days to motherhood by clothes shopping near her parents’ home. Her retail therapy is a far cry from her hospitalization for severe morning sickness earlier in her pregnancy. Duchess Kate admitted to suffering from an acute form of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum.  The serious-sounding condition can level even the toughest moms-to-be.  Doctors … Continue reading →
