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 [...]

Those baby blues need Baby Banz

Congratulations to our winner, commenter number 37, Allyson! So many people comment on my 10 month old’s stunning blue eyes, so, I feel the need to protect those baby blues while we’re spending our days outdoors, underneath the hot, glaring sun. I know how bad that beautiful sun can be for our skin and eyes, [...]

Infant Swimming Resource

We are in the midst of Water Safety Month and the official 2010 swimming season is right around the corner, so I feel that this is a very important topic to cover. I just found out about Infant Swimming Resource.  I watched this video and my chest tightened as my eyes welled up with tears.  [...]

Dad On the Run: Week 3

Yeah, I know this post comes a little on the late side, but there was turkey day and all last week. I do find myself asking why am I trying to do this around the holidays? Trying to do this amongst the eating and drinking extravaganzas otherwise known as Thanksgiving and Christmas is a good [...]

Dad On the Run: Week 2

Woah, I’m a few days late with this post, but better late than never, right? So the second week of Dad On the Run was a bit of a hectic week. I jogged only 12.02 miles (according to the treadmill) but (again) fell off the wagon in regards to eating good stuff again. I ate [...]

Dad On the Run: Week 1

So yeah, I took my own advice and started slowly and actually made it through the first week of Dad On the Run with flying colors. I jogged a total of 13 miles in six days which really isn’t all that much, but it’s a start.  Check back in six weeks and hopefully my weekly [...]
