The Search for Sensitive Baby Soap

Tot School: Week 1 Day 1 – Superheros
Today we started Tot School. I’m starting small with 5 minutes a day dedicated to Tot School. This week we are focusing on Superheros. And what better way to start than with Star Wars. After breakfast we broke out a coloring book and some crayons and colored. He like using the crayons to color but…
Breastmilk – Never Recalled
One way we saved a ton of money is by breastfeeding. (12 mos of BFing saves approximately $1,433) Jude has been breastfed for 14 months. My initial hope was to BF for 1 year and then consider weaning but now that we’re here it makes me sad to think of quitting. I’ll admit it was…
We’re co-sleeping family.
The most recent issue of Mothering Magazine has a few articles about co-sleeping that I’ve recently been reading. And up until now I never really understood what Co-Sleeping was all about. Apparently, there is a difference between Co-sleeping and Bedsharing. Co-sleeping: sleeping in the same room, in close proximity to one’s child, but not necessarily…

This Swedish inspired clothing makes my heart sing, mainly because I have an obsession with stripes and Hanna specializes in stripes! I can’t normally afford a pair of…

Why didn’t I think of this sooner
So just recently when Jude had a major blow out I grabbed one of our cheap cloth diapers and used it too clean things up. After the majority of the poo was cleaned up it only took one wipe to finish it off. Typically a big poo would take at least 5 wipes to clean…

Diaper Addendum
I forgot to mention a few facts in my post yesterday about our cloth diaper experience. 1. We use disposable diapers a night. Primarily because I don’t have the mental capacity to change his cloth diaper in the middle of the night but also because I don’t like the idea of him sleeping 6 hours…
Diaper Doodie
I thought I should give a cloth diaper update since I spent so much time researching cloth diaper options prior to Jude’s birth. We have been using cloth since about 3 weeks after Jude was born. I ended up with a combination of prefolds and covers and a few all-in-one diapers. I thought I would…
