One lucky reader will win a Bath Luve and a Bath Buddy!
I remember when my kids were babies and we'd give them a bath. I figure it's pretty customary to lay a washcloth over their torsos to keep them warm while bathing. Serves it's purpose I suppose though, as they grow, the washcloth doesn't really cover all the important parts. When I found the Bath Luve I truly wished my kids were still infants!What an amazing invention! Leave it to a mom to invent something so per... Continue reading ...

I used to work in a daycare. Anyone who's ever worked in one or been in one knows that daycares and schools are the homes of some of the snottiest noses around. I was constantly wiping noses. No matter how soft, tissue eventually leads to irritation and can never get the really stubborn boogies! Like most moms, I've often used baby wipes on my own kids faces. I always disliked it, but arriving at your destination only to find your perfectly clean child now has a boo... Continue reading ...

The bumbo was far too unsafe for her neck until she was much older. The chair an... Continue reading ...
