I have a 14-month old critic in the house. She questions everything I do. And she has an opinion on everything I say. When I read a book to my little critic she tells me if she likes it by clapping her hands – or, if she hates it, by closing the book and pushing it out […]

The Wellness Hat: Susan Brown’s Baby
. One of my friends, Susan Brown owns a skincare company called, Susan Brown’s Baby. You may have heard of it. It’s a fabulous company that makes gentle, natural skincare products for moms and babies. I’m in love. I have super sensitive skin, so I wasn’t sure how I would react … literally. But, Susan sent me […]
The Mommy Hat: Diaper Bags
How much can you squeeze into your diaper bag? These are the necessities I include: diapers, wipes, bottles, food, snacks, extra outfit, brush, medicine, sunscreen, hat, keys, mom’s wallet, cell phone. And, in this case, a birthday gift from a friend. No wonder I’m late everywhere …
The Parenting Hat: Baby Tips
They say you learn something new everyday. THEY must have been first-time moms. I could write a book about the things I know now – and I’m only at month seven! I found this book (an oldie, but a goodie). It’s a comical guide on “Safe Baby Handling Tips”. This might make a great Christmas present for […]
The Mommy Hat: Tags on Toys
Before I was a mom there was a lot I didn’t know. I laugh about it now. But before she was born I got out all of her toys and started cutting off the tags. I remember thinking – why do they keep these huge satin tags on such little toys? Snip. Snip. Then, I […]
The Shopper Hat: Gift Idea
It’s a pacifier. It’s a stuffed animal. It’s both! A family friend in Texas introduced me to the Wubbanub™. My child has never had an interest in pacifiers, but she really likes this toy. The Wubbanub makes a great baby gift. It’s also a hit with other moms because it’s a ”Why didn’t I think of that?” kind of invention. Our […]
The Mommy Hat: Retiring Toys
Remember that crib toy that I loved so much? Well, I came into her room the other day to find her trying to reach it. She had propped herself onto her knees and streeeeetched until she was almost there. In an effort to keep her safe, we lowered her crib to the lowest setting possible. It didn’t […]
The Mommy Hat: Best Bath Towels
My cousin, Heidi, gave us the best bath towel. Ever! This “Kitty” hooded towel from BamBoo Hugs is amazing. Super soft, very large to wrap her in after bath time and very thick. I bought a few other hooded towels from Target and they don’t compare to this one. I thought I would share this with you just in case […]
The Mommy Hat: Nasal What?
If you know what this is, you are a mom. If you know how to clean this, you are a super mom. I just figured out the best way to clean a nasal aspirator. It was an ah-ha moment, so I had to share with you! Step 1: Fill the nasal aspirator with really hot soapy water […]
The Shopper Hat: Crib Toys
There are certain toys I am thankful for. Some help baby fall asleep, some cradle her, some entertain her – pretty much all of them encourage her to learn. But, if I’m being honest … before I had a baby I was a visual snob. I swore my living room would never look like a daycare. […]
