If you have been around my blog any little bit since AppleBlossom was born you may know that I’m breastfeeding. It is not something that I talk about much, but it is a fact. Now at almost a year old, we’re still making it. No idea how long we’ll go, not really worried about that. What I do worry about is pretty and proper coverage, which I often get with my wraps and slings and also my Nurf… but that’s another post for another day. Continue reading →

Snikiddy Cheddar Baked Fries {Review/Giveaway}

Reply

Recently I joined in on a team of Mama’s for MamaBzz and my first participation is for Snikiddy Cheddar Baked Fries. Can you say yum?! One of the things that excites me is the “All Natural” part, then there is no preservatives, gluten & wheat free (hear that SisterB?) and no corn syrup. It gets even better when you look at the back of the package and find that is also has no trans fat, no hydrogenated oils, and low in saturated fat. With all the “snack foods” out there today it is quite difficult to find anything worthy of … Continue reading →

There is a very special little boy named Kinwah who just turned one and still loves his Silikids bottle in the afternoon.  Adorable! Photos of Kinwah are attached and below as well as Kinwah’s story. Kinwah lives at the Mogo Zoo in the owner’s backyard and was rescued and has been hand raised ever since.   He will most likely move into the zoo park full time when he is older. Attached is a recent story about Kinwah. http://www.abc.net.au/news/video/2010/05/21/2906437.htm Siliskin debuts red “hot” siliskins!

Infantino Jumbo Wheel Play Space

When I heard the doorbell ring and went to eagerly greet the FedEx man, I was so excited to see that it was a box from Infantino! Inside I discovered the Jumbo Wheel Play Space and as I put it out on the floor of our living room, I could not wait for AppleBlossom to get down their and investigate. My excitement was quelled for a short while as minutes before the FedEx man arrived she fell asleep. *sigh* Oh the rarity when I want her to skip a nap! Well I gave into my common sense and let her … Continue reading →

Have you ever found one of those companies that whenever you see their products you smile and want to buy it even if you already have a dozen? Well that is how I feel about Green Sprouts. Just one of a million things that I love about Green Sprouts is that they are consistently BPA and PVC free products. They are committed to providing non-toxic products for feeding our babies through toddler-hood. Plus they are just plain adorable! It seems to be that they specialize in bottles and cups, but they do not stop there as they also have available … Continue reading →

All Advice Welcome – Baby Sleep

I used to giggle a little to myself at two months and then four months of age for AppleBlossom when people would ask me, “Is she sleeping through the night yet?” She has been sleeping through the night since two weeks old! Yes when she was very newborn, she’d slightly wake, nurse and then go back out for another several hours. It was a very healthy situation for all of us. That is until she turned six months old. I do not know what happened. Nothing changed except she got a few teeth, then later an ear infection, but we … Continue reading →

Nine Months

AppleBlossom is nine months old! Can you believe it? It does not seem that long ago that I was pregnant… wow. And now my baby is no more baby baby, she is not quite a toddler, but she is a woddler (my new favorite term thank you Abingdon Press). It seems like there are things that she is ahead of the curve on and I hear that is good and bad. As my SisterL states, she does not encourage early walkers… As of the first week of April we had the beginnings of one tooth, then April 20th we had … Continue reading →

Blabla Kids Schoolbook Rattles

Every once in a while you find that toy that makes you (as a mama) squeal and say “Must have!!” That is how I felt when I first saw Blabla Kids Rattles. They are too cute and I am completely in love! I was delighted to find out that Blabla Kids is located in my home town of Atlanta, Georgia and that’s only one of dozens of great things putting them in my favor. Ever since I can remember I have kept my eyes open for that cutest toy for a future child. After AppleBlossom was born that desire did … Continue reading →

Oh Plah! Teething Cuff

Lately whenever people ask, “How is AppleBlossom?” The first thing out of my mouth is always a three word answer. “She is teething.” That pretty much sums it up. It explains the sleepless nights, early mornings, whiny afternoons, extra cuddly snuggles, non committal fidgets, crazy sloppy kisses, multiple dress changes from a soaked front, no appetite to famished and absolutely adorable partial toofie smiles. And then of course, so much more. As you can imagine, she wants to munch on everything. Paper especially, but that’s a tale for another day. One of the hardest things is finding something that she … Continue reading →
