LiLiKiKs: Sportswear for our active girls

My daughter is very active, so I generally dress her (actually, she dresses herself) in comfortable clothes that she can move around freely in.  I’m planning on getting her involved in some activities, something like gymnastics or soccer in the coming months.  Something where she can burn off some of that crazy amount of energy [...]

Hooded towels from Bebe au Lait

We were recently sent one of the softest hooded towels by Bebe au Lait for our baby.  Honestly, this is the softest towel I have  felt.  I love wrapping our soon-t0-be one year old in it after she’s played in the pool or when she’s fresh out of the bath.  It’s not scratchy on her [...]

butt-ums up baby diaper changing pad

We are now counting down the hours until we leave for our beach vacation.  I’m not “completely” packed but I have a great head start.  At this point, I still have my own clothes and stuff for the baby to pack.  I’ve been keeping track of how many diapers we go through each day, so [...]

Sun protection from Neutrogena

I have very fair skin and I am also quite freckly.  My days of “laying out” or going to the tanning salon are over.  I can’t risk the likely chance I have of getting cancer.  I have my health and my two little girls to think about. So, that being said, I’m taking Neutrogena® sunblock [...]

Pipila Portable UV Pacifier Sterilizer

NO WAY was I EVER going to be a mom who had a kid that used a pacifier.  Nope.  My first didn’t use one, so why would any babies thereafter? Well…I stand corrected. My second baby is a pacifier baby.  Those “paci’s” help her stay calm.  Here we are, 10 + months later and not [...]

It’s time to pack!

The time has finally come to start packing for our trip.  Usually I am the one who waits until the very last minute to pack but considering we’re going out of the country, I feel a strong urge to take care of things well in advance.  For once I would like to feel cool, calm [...]
