How Far Back Can You Remember? Childhood Memories, Experiences & Expert Advice

I had a though while singing my baby to sleep ... I had Max in my arms and Jonny sitting next to me on the couch. We were singing some of the songs that I used to sing to Jonny and Nate when they were younger. Some were from our favorite musicals. I then proceeded with a few songs that Jonny didn't know. This led to good old 'Brahms's Lullaby' (Lullaby and Goodnight). The next thing I knew, I

What If...

Scene: Sunday night. Mother putting away clean laundry in oldest son's bedroom at bedtime. Son brushing his teeth, then putting on pajamas. ----------------------------------------- Son: Mom, what if you were a spy? Mother: How do you know I'm not?

Newborn Bowel Movements - Newborn Poop & Pee - Changing Diapers Is Not Fun!

It was a little annoying at times, but it reminded us to pay attention and know what to expect from our newborn. This is a guide that you can use to make sure that all is well

Should I Give My Baby A Pacifier?

Picture of Newborn Baby Max - 2 Days Old - December 2011 Although the nurse advised against my using a pacifer in the hospital, I am SO GLAD that I made her bring us one. I also suggest that all breastfeeding mothers have one ready once their baby is comfortable feeding and doing well with it.
