I know, I know, this issue is so played out, but I couldn’t help myself. I originally brought this up in our forum, but wanted to move it into a blog post as well. I know some of you are still frightened by the forum. It’s okay. The forum is your friend.

According to the statistics given by Babycenter.com, 50% of parents spank.…

I have a confession to make. I almost never blog about my kids on Mom Spark. Have you noticed? Yes, I am a mom blogger who doesn’t blog about her kids. There, I’ve said it. Truth is, I’ve never felt safe publicly displaying my kids. Sure, I’ve discussed issues like whether to have another child and managing work and parenting, but I rarely get personal. You will not find many photos of my kids here, either. These details are stashed away on my private blog,…

I was intrigued when Eardoc approached me about a new product for ear pain that requires no medication whatsoever. The Eardoc is a device…

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…

The kiddos and I recently had the chance to review Miss Brittany’s Organic Preschool Fun Dough. It has 3 main features that stood out to me. It’s Organic, Non Toxic, and Handmade in the USA. Even the packaging uses 100% recyclable packaging and is printed with soy ink. Not to mention that Isabella and I had a BLAST playing with it. Miss Brittany a preschool teacher from New York had the idea to make a more kid-safe and environmentally responsible play dough. So Miss Brittany’s…

1. My sanity. 2. Nice furniture. 3. A fear of bodily fluids and excrements. Even puke doesn’t bother me anymore. 4. 8 hours of sleep. 5. A smaller butt. 6. A clue. I found out fast that I didn’t really have one at all. 7. Free time. 8. A laundry room without piles of dirty clothes. 9. Quiet dinners out at restaurants that don’t serve meals that come with toys. 10. An empty place in my heart only they could fill.
