Bumbo Baby Sitter! 2007-03-08 17:48:00 After having numerous friends tell me that the Bumbo
Baby Sitter
is the best baby product they've bought for their child, I finally decided to give it a try. Kaitlyn isn't use to sitting up on her own, so i think it startled her a bit, but then she really enjoyed it! She sat on the ground close to her 2 year old brother, and watched him play with his blocks. I know she can't wait to start playing with him, she just LOVES watching his every move! The Bumbo Baby Sitter allows her to keep up with her big brother for now, and that definitely keeps her happy! A happy baby means a happy mommy! So, I definitely give it my two thumbs up!!!"The Bumbo Baby Sitter is a revolutionary new concept with world wide patent rights, uniquely designed according to the baby’s posture to seat babies independently in an upright sitting position, from as young as 3 months up to an age of approximately 14 months depending on the individual development of the child, thereby providing a snug and cozy enviro

A little bit of vintage... 2007-03-20 15:42:00 I appologize for the lack of reviews recently. We are in the middle of purchasing a new home, and all of my spare time seems to be devoted towards that these days! Since I am getting an opportunity to completely remodel my children's rooms, I'd love to share my ideas!For Kaitlyn, I have decided to go with a bit of a vintage look. I don't want to go with a another pink princess theme, though she seems to rule the house...I found all of her items at target, they have some great furniture & decor there! Amazing, huh? The bedding is a green & fusia/pink mixture (see the photo on the left). The furniture is all an off-white color (see the crib & dresser to the right), so I'm hoping that the bedding will really stand out against the vintage furniture. That's about as far as I've gotten with her room!I'd love any suggestions you may have... It isn't everyday I get to completely design a nursery from scratch! :)Again, I appologize for the lack of updates, but I hope to have some do Read more:little
I'M ALIVE! 2007-05-03 23:20:00 The past few months have been extremely hectic! We decided at the last moment not to buy the house.

I appologize for the lack of updates on this site though. I've been trying to decide exactly where I want this site to go. I'm thinking about taking it in a new direction in the near future. So be prepared for some new changes! I've got a few really good ideas, so be excited! :)Also, I want to thank everyone for all of the emails & all of the adorable pictures I've been getting! I got quite a few of little ones in their bumbos. I love it!Take care of yourselves & your families, and I promise great things in the near future!
