FIND! BECO Baby Carrier: All-new Soleil. {video}
I’m won’t lie: I’ve never been a baby-wearing mama. Some might say I once had a vendetta against it (for no good reason, I just don’t like the idea of feeling pregnant all over again after the baby is out). I’ve gotten major smack from my baby-carrying friends. But let’s let bygones be bygones. Two…
FUN. A big lesson from Disney Junior Live on Stage!
I now officially think it’s impossible for a mom to take her child to Disneyland for the first time and not cry. Because, yes, I CRIED. And, I learned something too… but I’ll get to that later. Frankly, I had nothing to cry about. Two-an-a-half LadyP and I were ecstatic to spend a day (her…

No matter what you believe, Easter week is historically considered the most holy/spiritual week in all the year. For us, this year is all about frantically running…
FUN. Act like a brat for the greater good? Yeah, it works.
I’ve written about being a mean mommy. I respect and applaud moms who declare that mean mommies “rule.” I consider myself one of them. Truth is, you must be mean for the greater good… not only for disciplinary reasons, but for your family’s balance, happiness and all-around fabulousness. As antiquated as this sounds: The woman…
