Baby Steps Screen Shot

When I delivered my first child back in the year 2000, we had JUST installed internet access in our home. The internet was by no means a new thing, but ordering products online was not the norm either. Instead, we headed out at all hours of the day and night picking up packs of diapers and wipes. After we arrived at the store, we then had to figure out which size and style to purchase among a huge selection.  At times, it was stressful. Fortunately,

How to Make Homemade Baby Food

Mom Spark 001

Here is a tutorial on making homemade baby food that I created back when my son was a baby. I promise it is not difficult and does not take much time. This tutorial is for carrots, but you can use the same method for all fruits and vegetables. HINT: I do not skin anything until after I steam it.

::GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED::  Congrats to Dana, Christine Sarkauskas, and Tamara B.! One of the most challenging tasks I have faced as a parent is getting my little ones to sleep.

Let’s face it, if our babies and toddlers aren’t sleeping well, we’re not sleeping well either, so finding effective ways to lull our little ones to sleep should be top priority. Like most families,

Sweet Nursery Dreams

Now that it has been confirmed and confirmed again, I get to start dreaming about everything baby. And everything baby includes nursery! (note: nursery is in italics because when I say nursery, I don’t say it, I sing it!) Nursery! Nursery! Nursery! Okay. It is out of my system. I promise to try and refrain. Italics can get hard to read, some say they even make them dizzy. So for those who are easily dizzied… Nursery. As of today and according to my Doctor’s best
