TRUE RELIGION JEANS for our TODDLERS 2007-08-18 09:27:00 I adore my True Religion jeans although to be completely honest, there are days that they don't seem to fit the same as they did on the day that I found them on sale. Anybody else have this issue? I could care less as the day you get a discount on these cool jeans is a red letter day and I'm thankful for each and every moment of the days they fit my tush nicely because these jeans are so cool! Anyway, this post is not about me but about the fact that now mommy and Little One are both going to be hot this fall because True Religion Jeans for Toddlers are on the market. I'm not willing to call my sweet baby girl hot, let's say she's warm as toast. Did I mention that these jeans are expensive? Yep, they are priced at $200.00 or thereabouts,(I paid less than that for my Johnny jeans!) but think how cute matching mommy and baby are going to be in their mother daughter style True Religion jeans!
3 BABIES and HEIDI KLUM's STILL FABULOUS 2007-08-17 14:17:00 It's hard to believe when looking at Heidi Klum's back and rump in her new Jordache MOM Jeans ad that she has given birth to three children. She still looks so darn fabulous for having had a baby a year for three years running (unless I miss my guess). Let's get a count: There's LeniHenryand coming in at 9 months or thereabouts, Johan Astonishing!
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale - Kingston's Baby Clothes 2007-08-17 13:35:00 Gwen Stefani
and her delectable hubby GavinRossdale
were seen exiting the airport in Sydney with son Kingston
wearing Zutano red candy stripe pants a hunter green shirt or jacket of some kind and brown Ugg boo shoes. Far be it from us to give fashion tips to the celebrity moms and dads of the day, but I couldn't help but think how cute and comfy Kingston would've been with the following Zutano stuff to go with the red and white pants! I believe that the name of the style of Uggs that Kingston was wearing is called Mini Mel and the name of the color is Heathered Chestnut. I'm very impressed with Gwen and Gavin's eye for value in baby clothes and gear. Last month they were note to be using an inexpensive convertible car seat the, "Safe Voyage Convertible Car Seat in Red/Black by Fisher Price" which has a price tag of about 139.99. Some parents (celebrity or otherwise) consider a child safety seat that costs over $100.00 to be too expensive, but if you compare prices to other m Read more:Clothes

RALPH LAUREN BABY MARY JANES - BLACK PATENT for PARTY TIME 2007-08-17 11:12:00 Somehow I've never made the following connection: Child and shoes and Polo or Ralph Lauren, have you? I suppose I was just out in the ozone because some of the most popular baby clothes out there are sporting the famous sophisticated and time honored Ralph Lauren logo. For those of you just tuning in that would be the logo featuring a polo pony and player. Polo by Ralph Lauren Kids' Briley Infant LayetteIt's my motto that baby girls are only baby girls for a very short while and that they deserve the finest (and most fancy) haute couture that we can afford from infant in arms to toddling toddlers. Think how sweet baby girls will look stepping about in these dressy black Ralph Lauren brand shoes. Add a pair of lacy tights and a classic Ralph Lauren Christmas party dress and these Mary Janes will make your budding diva the envy of the preschool set.The pretty satin ribbon will keep her rosy toes snug and securely tucked inside the fancy black patent leather and the soft suede so
PRETTY PINK BABY PHAT INFANT BALLET FLATS 2007-08-15 17:04:00 Sweet with bling on the toes. That's an accurate description of these precious little pink Baby Phat ballet flats. baby phat Kids' Cinderella Crib InfThat little baby girl can feel like a celebrity wearing these baby ballet style crib shoes with what appears to be pink crystals or rhinestones on the toe. Till your little diva is ready for her first pair of Baby Phat high tops these sassy flats will have her kicking in the crib in celebrity fashion.
IT'S NOT TOO HOT TO BUY FALL BABY CLOTHING 2007-08-15 16:58:00 Here we sit in the middle of a heat wave and I'm spending the after noon looking at all the cool new jackets, coats, hats and other winter stuff for babies. The prices seem very reasonable, too. Not long ago I saw pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal walking celebrity baby niece Ramona Sarsgaard in a Silver Cross stroller that I found out had to have cost at least $600.00. Here's the stroller. That kind of makes me pay close attention to what kind of clothes a baby might wear whose wheels cost that kind of cash! Silver Cross(R) Micro V.2 Stroller
Finally Cooler Temps 2006-10-05 15:26:00 Finally, some cooler days. Business has really picked up and am I glad.I finally finished the baby bedding set that I was working on.Even though I'm no huge fan of bright (and I do mean BRIGHT) green, the John Deere Decor kind of fits in with the season. After all it's harvesting time and all. Read more:Finally
Cool Weather - Trick or Treat and Quilting 2006-09-28 18:54:00 I finally got the nice cool weather I'd been asking for. FINALLY! Now I'm in the mood to do all those crafts and stuff it's been too hot to do! I'd love to make a baby quilt. I found a perfect example on my favorite baby stuff website. Now, I'm on the lookout for quilt patterns for babies. I'm too impatient to sew by hand, but the sewing machine should move things right along. Read more:Trick
Not so Fast 2006-09-18 17:12:00 I just scanned yesterday's post and I can't believe how energetic I sounded. I don't feel very energetic today, that's for sure. The babies just didn't sleep very well last night. Thunder woke them up, I think. I'm tired
First Entry 2006-09-16 17:54:00 Ok, I'm the lady you saw in the grocery and asked if my babies are twins and I said, no they were just born that close together. Nine months apart almost to the day due to a premature hatching of nub number two. Everything I own is double, duo or twin. And guess what....I'm pregnant again. Yep. I had two choices: (a) to whimper, piss and moan about how it's just not fair and how tired I am all the time or(b) to do it in style and have funI have chosen option b. I plan to shop till I drop and do the kid thing to the unth degree. I'm gonna decorate, dress-up, do Santa, Halloween...you name it. I'm gonna have a blast if it kills me. Am I coming off manic? Don't knock it, mania may be all that's keeping me on my feet at times! HA Read more:First

LEOPARD PRINT BABY STUFF 2007-08-22 14:34:00 LAZY LEOPARD COVERALLWhat a cute little leopard print baby sleeper in sage green! Baby could wear it as a snug and cozy pair of PJs or add a pair of baby leopard ears, draw on some whiskers and you've got a really cool little leopard costume.
LEOPARD PRINT STUFF for BABY! CUTE BABY LEOPARD FAUX FUR BABY CARRIER COVERS 2007-08-27 14:57:00 After I posted the picture of the cute leopard print baby sleeper, I got several requests for other leopard print baby accessories. Once I began to dig, I realized there's not a lot of stuff out there in wild animal prints for babies right now, but what goodies I found in leopard and cheetah patterns are very cool! I just love this leopard print front position baby carrier cover. It's made to fit several different carriers, but the ones they specifically mention are the Baby Bjorn and Snugli carriers. Here's a tip: See if you can draw a pattern to make your own, but if you are not into sewing, this ready made carrier cover is inexpensive.
CAMO BABY STUFF - WRONG MESSAGE? Or JUST RIGHT FOR FALL? 2007-09-20 14:21:00 Hubby and I went shopping Sunday in search of some jeans for him. For some reason he thinks that the jeans at Goody's are the best. I wasn't enthusiastic about going there because I just don't care for their lines of lady's clothing. Since I was there anyway I thought I'd take a look at their baby clothing. The only thing that caught my eye was some pink camouflage pants with matching pink or green tops that were colorful and cute. The price was good and the fabric seemed sturdy and I almost picked a pair of pants and a top up to buy. Then it struck me that we are neither a military family nor do we hunt. It almost seemed that I would be sending an incorrect message about who we were by buying the camouflage clothes for the baby. I see camouflage strollers for boys and girls, camouflage diaper bags for dads and camouflage baby bedding and nursery themes. Are hunters and soldiers children the only customers for these baby items or are they considered the same as any print a
BROWN TICKS, BABIES and the CIRCUS 2007-09-20 13:59:00 What do brown ticks and babies have to do with fashion? Well, not very much but this baby story deserves to be blogged because it was so cute that I wanted to share it with our visitors. Sometimes real life stuff trumps new fall designer clothes for babies. The children were playing in the front yard yesterday and once when the ball the were playing with bounced into a wooded area, the older of the girls ventured into the brush to fetch it. She was the hero of the afternoon's activities. Even the toddler recognized bravery and her act of self sacrifice was rewarded with cheers and enthusiastic applause. As the adult in charge, I saw the relief on the hero's face that she made it in and out of the underbrush with no injuries, snake bites or other mishaps. At least that's the way it seemed at the time. That night the order was administered for all to ready for bathtime as per the normal routine. I was finishing up the dishes when our two year old came toddling into the kitche
COOL TODDLER CLOTHES with PINK MONKEYS! 2007-09-02 10:31:00 Clothes with a big grinning monkey printed or embroidered on them are all the rage this fall and little kids from toddlers on up want in on the trendy look. Sock monkeys are cute and these monkey prints seem to have copied the look in spades. There's no disputing the fact that mischievous monkeys are all time favorites of children of all ages and now they can enjoy them on pretty pink and blue hoodies with fuzzy brown monkey ears! There are also shirts, t-shirts and even pajamas and gowns that are decorated with the red, brown and white monkey for the little girls and boys that just love that sock monkey!
PRACTICE FOR LATER 2007-10-03 09:04:00 For the moms like myself that don't have much time to watch the early morning shows or search youtube for goodies, here's a video so that you can practice for when baby gets just a little older. This lady shoots all the directives in the span of a few minutes that moms of school age children parcel out during the course of any given day. I don't have to deal with Ipods or problems with the little ones texting at the dinner table yet. My little ones are not old enough to know much more than cellphones are the way we call Mawmaw to tell her something wonderful we saw at the park or the zoo. But, the rest of the stuff like eat what's on your plate, don't sit too close, etc. etc. all ring true. I will have to listen to the video again when I have a little more time to focus to see if there are other lyrics of her Mom's take on the William Tell Overture that apply to me and the average day in the life of the mom of many. I noticed on the program where the mom was interviewed that
DON'T FORGET THE STROLLER 2007-10-01 12:41:00 Against all odds we managed to make a zoo trip yesterday. It was the last day of that some of the exhibits were open and I was determined to make the trip. It was Cass' first time to stroll through and Lyndi and Allyson had not seen the exhibits that I mentioned. The umbrella stroller was at Mamaw's house (of course) so we had to jam the BOB into the hatch. The danger in this was that even in the collapsed state, it was impossible to keep some of the frame from being lodged against the glass of the door. The prospect of hauling one and possibly two solidly built little girls through the zoo was not appealing, busted door glass or no. The BOB had to fit one way or the other. I wound up dumping some of the other contents in the middle of the carport (they're still there) and engaging in plenty of pushing and twisting to get it wedged in place, but ultimately I was able to slam the door shut without hearing anything crack. Things started off well enough, but 30 miles into the j
Cool Weather Doesn't Mean I Can Quilt 2007-09-29 22:02:00 I finally got the nice cool weather I'd been asking for. FINALLY! Now I'm in the mood to do all those crafts and stuff it's been too hot to do! I'd love to make a baby quilt but I am just not sure that I know my way around a frame or a hoop or whatever you have to have to make a quilt. Now, I'm on the lookout for quilt patterns for babies. I'm too impatient to sew by hand, but the sewing machine should move things right along if I could just figure out how to keep the bobbin thread from getting all twisted up. Just because it's cooler outside doesn't mean that my needlework will improve, does it? Read more:Quilt
Three Year Olds and Church 2007-09-29 07:54:00 Well, now I've been humbled before, but DH got it GOOD Wednesday night. I'm telling you he came in from work with his stinger out ready to scrap (verbally of course) with any and everybody. The girls knew to give a wide berth to their ill tempered daddy. We didn't even make the mistake on this particular afternoon to say, "What's wrong?" Apparently kids learn from their mistakes. Once or twice a year this mood hits and in the past we asked...we quickly found out either we really don't care or we really don't want to know. The evening moved forward and at 6:30pm we headed out to church leaving hubby and his snarky mood behind in the wake of three girls going for religious training. Classes let out and we congregated for a closing moment in the main sanctuary. At the end, the pastor always asks for prayer requests and lo and behold who raises her hand like a shot? My Cass and wouldn't you know it she was two rows in front of me out of reach and she PRETENDED to be out of e Read more:Three

Good Child Discipline or Child Abuse? 2007-10-14 15:34:00 I'm always looking for ways to make the house run smoother. I pay close attention to the ways other parents seem to make this happen in their homes. I confess that sometimes I get really envious of moms with quiet, obediant kids when my babies are whining, sassy or just plain hard to control! I find myself wanting to ask total strangers their secrets of dealing with the strong-willed child and what forms of discipline they find to be successful. The only thing holding me back is that I'm afraid that the wild look in my eyes might frighten them! I try to think of creative, kind and effective methods of mob control, but I'm telling you that there are days when nothing seems to work. On those occasions I feel like such a blooming failure at parenting. I love these children so much and I want them to be functioning members of society, but how do I do this if I can't get them to behave? I typed all of that in order to rat another mom out, I'm sorry to say. Here's what happened a Read more:Discipline

BABY DON'T GET NO GAS TODAY 2007-10-11 16:46:00 Well, just when you think the week's gonna fly by with no real problems, hubby blows through the door asking what I'd charged on the credit card. I'm sure I looked kind of like a fish gasping for air for a minute, standing there with my bright yellow playtex gloves dripping from the dish water that I'd been happily swishing around in until I turned in shock. Quickly making a mental credit history, I thought to ask him exactly WHICH credit card to which he was referring. He dug the offensive piece of plastic out of his wallet and began reading the numbers off of the front. After firing them off like a drill sergeant he stood there expecting an explanation. Like I memorize all of our credit card numbers? Peeling off the gloves, asked to take a look.The numbers still were sharply raised on the cards so I knew that it had to be one of the newer credit cards in our inventory. Sure enough, it was the most recent credit card that we had received and I had reserved it specifically f
Baby Loves Potty Training her Baby Dolls ....Or Not? 2007-10-09 10:35:00 Cass has always enjoyed playing with baby dolls. In fact all of the girls still enjoy playing mommy with their special dollies from time to time. I would have thought that the older girls would have made the transition from newborn infant baby dolls funky fashion dress-up dolls, but they still will engage with the little one in the occasional pretend diaper changing and bottlefeeding (Cass still pretends to breast-feed her babies by asking if baby wants ninny! Who on earth did she get that term from? It's my grandmother's word that I've tried to get past but Cass latched onto it with the vigor of the obsessed!For practice and basic childcare they all prefer are the realistic looking baby dolls. Most of these baby dolls are so real looking back I'm having a hard time explaining to the little one that babies don't come from the toy aisle at Wal-Mart. I've tried to point out tummies of our pregnant friends for the purpose of telling her that the baby was inside. This approach d Read more:Training

BREASTFEEDING and BUNKO 2007-10-08 12:31:00 I don't know if moms in your area enjoy playing the dice game, Bunko, or not, but in my area it's written in red on most gal's calendar. There are more Bunko clubs around here than you can shake a stick at! It's the perfect opportunity (and excuse) for eight women to get together and see everybody's new home decorating project and eat somebody's cooking besides their own. Some clubs dress up and really put on the dog decking the tables and themselves out in fine style. Some serve cocktails and finger foods and say to "come as sloppy as you like". I want the best of both worlds and DH doesn't mind babysitting twice a month so I belong to one of each. It's more or less understood that this is a mom's night out, but we do make exceptions for breastfeeding moms of newborns. Plus we love passing those sweet infants around right along with the dice used to play. We have NEVER had the first uncomfortable incident and laughed our tails off at all the uproar of breastfeeding in
TAPING KIDS MOUTHS SHUT. IS THAT OK? 2007-10-05 14:38:00 Did anybody else hear a news story about an afterschool program that allegedly (don't I sound all legal?) taped a child's mouth shut as some form of discipline? Was this as a personal sanity saver or what? If I heard correctly, it was judged that taping a child's mouth shut is not a crime and the case was kicked out of court or some such nonsense. My thoughts on this are that while it might not have been a crime for the daycare worker to do the taping, the tailkicking I gave HER for doing such a cruel and heartless thing to my child probably would be prosecutable to the full extent of the law.What do y'all think about this mess? What would YOU do if a person left in charge of your children taped one of their mouths shut? I suppose this hits close to home because I'm the mother of lots of little jabber jaws and while I've been pretty close to snapping and sticking cotton in MY ears at times, I would never do something like that to my own child or anyone else's! Come on, tel
JOINING THE DOFOLLOW BABY BLOG MOVEMENT 2007-10-05 11:00:00 As a mommy blogger with very little time (like all moms), I don't like the idea that parents who read my baby blog and take the time to make comments don't get the benefit of their comments being credited by search engines. Therefore, I searched and found (I hope) the way to make my mishaps of family and parenting blog a blog with dofollow coments. I can moderate my blog and keep the spammy junk out, but for the rest of you moms that want to chat, please enjoy the dofollow comments feature and type away! If you have a dofollow blog whose subject has anything to do with babies, pregnancy, family life and parenting I would love to hear from you!
PICTURES are WORTH...WELL YOU KNOW 2007-10-05 10:54:00 For those of you who read my blog entry and asked how the trip to the zoo went in spite of the troubles jamming the stroller in the car and dealing with the clicking and clacking along with the complaints of the kids in regard to the stroller I thank you for your sympathy and questions. One sweet sewing mom from the great State of Texas asked whether or not the trip to the zoo was enjoyed in spite of the stroller fiasco and others wanted to know if I had to wag the middle sister on my hip all day. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words as they say and here we are with my middle one on my hip with the stroller behind the photographer. One baby on the hoof, one on the hip and another in a baby carrier.
MRSA - Did the Gym Staff Give My Baby a Staph Infection? 2007-10-19 14:37:00 I should've called this baby and family blog "Just When You Think" cause just when I think things are going pretty well life blindsides me and proves me wrong. Life with a house full of children and a demanding husband can really get my goat sometimes but I keep telling myself it's the journey not the destination and try to find something to enjoy and treasure about each and every day.TODAY I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THE EFFORT!Any mom worth her salt will understand the reason for my negative attitude; I just found out that my baby has MRSA and will have to take all these powerful antibiotics, etc. etc. to deal with it. I completely admit that I don't know all there is to know(or all that I SHOULD know, or all that I WILL know before the day is over) about staph infections of any kind. There was some chat recently at the gym where DH goes that some of the staff members had developed or come down with cases of MRSA. Does this mean that my DH brought it home to baby? This baby has ha Read more:Staff
WHY IS MY BLOG LOADING SO SLOW? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BLOG? 2007-10-16 12:58:00 For the record I'm loving the contact and comments from other moms in regards to child discipline versus child abuse etc. etc. I can still close my eyes and see that lady that I felt that I admired swinging around to hit her child in the back seat. Yes, it was that disturbing to me.Okay let's move past that unpleasant event on to something else that's bugging me. My blog is acting crazy. My computer is relatively new and runs like a top so long as I don't type in the address to my very own baby blog! Yes, I'm having difficulties getting this blog that you are reading right now to load without locking up the whole system!I have several ideas of what could be causing my blog to run so slow but I would appreciate some feedback from the rest of you who are more experienced in the world of blogging. I saw that one poster had had the same experience after she put some items in her sidebar. I have several items in my own sidebar, but how do I know which one is causing the problems
A WAHM BRAINSTORM QUESTION 2007-10-24 10:31:00 I'm always brainstorming for WAHM ideas and last night when talking to one of my friends who manages apartment complexes, an idea hit me. I suppose it's not really WAHM, as you have to leave the house to do the work but it's a business that would be easy to start with little if any at all start up cost. My buddy, Marie, was fussing about how every time an occupant moved out of one of the units she had to go in and clean and repaint. The apartment complex has a painting crew but the cleaning has to be done before they show up to paint the walls.I think that it would be an excellent home-based business to provide cleaning services for unoccupied or recently vacated apartments only.The reason that I think a cleaning service for unoccupied apartments or homes would be preferable over occupied homes is that there probably would be no need for bonding or insurance. Right? I mean the reason those home and office cleanup crews have to have insurance is due to the risk of damaging a hom
Meds for MRSA or the Plain Old Stomach Flu? 2007-10-23 15:07:00 Well, we started on meds for the MRSA condition for the littlest one, the middle one started complaining of a headache and the oldest one said that she jammed her finger. Well actually what she said was that she was sure her pinky finger was "splintered". Then about 10:30 last night the little one who was getting in a little sympathy co-sleeping time woke up throwing up. It was very strange in that I became aware that she was wiggling through the fog of my sleepy exhaustion, but assumed that she would settle back into sleep. To make a long story short, she did not. She began to vomit up what she had eaten for LUNCH ten hours earlier! I know this is gross and disgusting, but what would cause food (chickpeas to be exact) to just sit in her tummy, undigested for that long a period of time? Would it be caused by the antibiotics they are giving her? Read more:Plain
