It’s International Babywearing Week, let’s celebrate!

By

I didn’t really understand the importance or ease of babywearing with my first child. But, when I had my second, it was the only way to stop him from crying during his colicky moments. It also made cooking or playing with my then 2-year-old a lot easier.

{Recipe} Tri-Apple Pie

By

Let’s ring in this new season with my tasty Tri-Apple Pie. My husband and I took the kids apple picking yesterday so, of course, this was the first thing I made with all 8 pounds of apples! I’ve been making this particular pie for 11 years and have finally gotten around to sharing the recipe.

Can you believe the Morton Salt Girl turns 100 this year?! I was actually one of the lucky bloggers who got the chance to celebrate her by throwing a party in her honor. Over the span of 100 days, 100 mom bloggers held a birthday party in 100 cities to celebrate the little girl with the umbrella.

{Giveaway} A dry baby makes for a happy baby…and family!

By

Since my son’s body stays nice and dry through the night, he wakes up happy and ready to face the day. He’s a bit impatient waiting to get out of his crib but I’m sure he’s thrilled to not be soaked right down to the sheets. And I’m happy to not wake up to the sounds of a screaming toddler. Everybody wins! Hooray!

We’ve been to Edaville twice now, once to see Thomas the Tank Engine and now to meet Curious George. I think the kids enjoyed this time the best so far because we also had the chance to check out Dino Land.

Curious George comes to save the day at Edaville

I hate to even utter the words, but let’s face it, summer is winding down. My baby is now 7 weeks old and I’m just starting to feel like I can go out with all three kids. This weekend is going to be one of those times because Curious George is coming to Edaville USA.
