Babes and Kids Review

Camping & Backpacking Did you know that June was National Camping month? I certainly wasn’t aware until this year, but think that it’s cool that camping has it’s own month dedicated to it. I grew up in Idaho surrounded by the mountains. I had parents that loved the outdoors and instilled that love in all…

Allergen-Free Meat Products Food allergies seem to be getting more and more common as time goes on. Although we are lucky enough not to have any food allergies in our family, others do. I know kids who can’t have wheat, dairy, or nuts to name a few. Because of this, their moms have to be…

Helps for Health Throughout the year, kids and parents are bound to get sick. For some it doesn’t happen very often, for others, it seems to happen a little bit too often. One thing that seems to come back again and again is the common cold. I think my boys had colds more than half…

Trending Baby Names Have you noticed in the last 5+ years  that a lot of “older” names are coming back and trending?  By older, I mean names that were popular 50, 70, or even 100 years ago.  While I think some of them are adorable, some just shouldn’t and I don’t think will ever come back. …

Last summer, I reviewed a really fun pan by Teflon. It was a flip it pancake pan with a fun patriotic design. Since we are coming up on Independence Day soon, you get another chance to win a pan! Below is my review from last year. We still really like the pan a year later,…

Diaper Pail Test Drive – Munchkin Last week, you got to see a review of the Diaper Genie II Elite. It was a pretty good diaper pail overall. The other diaper pail that we have been switching back and forth with is the Munchkin Arm & Hammer diaper pail. Although it’s purpose is the same,…

Exploring the Outdoors Boys and bugs. They just seem to go hand in hand.  At least they seem to with my boys. On top of that, they also love exploring and just being down in the dirt. This is something I’ve had to get used to as I’m not exactly a bug person.  If my…

Healthy Snacks On The Go Summer means on the go, right? At least for us it does. And because we are on the go so much, I almost always have snacks and bottled water for the boys, especially if we are planning an entire afternoon out. Costco offers great summer snacks with health benefits in…

Bumbleride Flite We aren’t a stranger to Bumbleride, and after using the Indie Twin for the last 10 months, I’ve been continually impressed with the quality of the stroller it is. So when I heard that they came out with a new lightweight stroller, the Flite, my curiosity peaked. I love using our bigger stroller,…

Summer Splashin’ Summer is in full force! We’ve been taking  advantage of the warmer weather and have been spending lots of time outside. While we don’t have a beach nearby, we have our backyard, our rec center pool, and a Noah’s Ark splash area which we frequent. There are all sorts of essentials when it…

Bringing Baby Home When you bring a new baby home, you want the best for them. However, if you are a first time parent, there can be a lot of questions as to what products are best for your baby. I remember having this feeling not that long ago. Baby skin can be incredibly sensitive,…

Diaper Pail Test Drive This month our diapers are testing the limits in a Diaper Pail Test Drive on behalf of Mom Central. We were sent two different diaper pails to try and test out, and we have been alternating them a week at a time. It’s been interesting to note the differences, and what…

I ran a half marathon on Saturday. It was AWESOME!  I ran it in 2 hours and 23 minutes. What was even more awesome was seeing my 60 year old mom cross the finish line. Now that’s inspiring. I’m now training for a marathon in September. Wish me luck!
