One thing I love the most is a non-toxic cleaning product. I don’t think I really ever considered the thought of green cleaning supplies until I had my first baby and sat her in a bouncy chair in the bathroom doorway breathing the ‘clean’ air. Even if you aren’t a mom yet, don’t wait until you have a baby to make the switch to non-toxic cleaning products. Read more…

Recently I bought a few jars of baby food because my 8 month old wasn’t very interested in eating so I never knew when I might offer him some food. The jars just seemed convenient even though I had some frozen cubes of homemade apple and butternut squash baby food that I had made. Over the past couple of weeks, he has shown an increased desire to eat food and we now feed him at least twice a day.
I was heating up a jar of food in some hot water on the stove while holding him on my hip and making some food for the rest of the family. After thinking about it for a minute I didn’t understand why I wasn’t making him food. The logic is pretty simple, I make wholesome meals for everyone else in the family, why wouldn’t I make homemade food for our baby? Read more…
Yeah, I know…what happened to the train? Well, I can only say that I wish we would have had a train ride on part of our travel trip because they are really so nice since you can move around freely and sit at a table playing games. Unfortunately, our only options to get from California to Arkansas were planes and automobiles.
I took the advice of my sister who only has one child…(why I’m not sure) and took our 3 suitcases as carry-ons as well as a laptop, a diaper bag, a stroller, my daughters backpack and our two children. I will never again take more than one carry-on total while traveling with children. It is far too much baggage to deal with while having an infant to carry and a three year old to push in a stroller.
Although the 14 hour travel time was long and draining, we had a great time and our children were very good. I think this mostly had to do with mine and my husbands good attitude toward the situation we faced. So take it from me, one who has experienced the flight…don’t take carry-ons. It’s worth the wait at baggage claim.
