What Is It? Rockabye baby music takes favorite adult albums and kid-ifies them, changing them into lullabies. I suppose the theory is that you can listen to “kid music” but not go crazy because you’ll be singing your favorites in your head while you listen. I received the Pearl Jam album to review. In the…
This post brought to you by Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine. What Is It? Glidden Paint has these little cute bottles of tester paint, with a brush built into the lid (like nail polish brushes are). Each one lets you paint up to 3 square feet, so you can buy a few to test…
Happy 3 months to my little girl! This is an exciting milestone, the end of the “fourth trimester.” My baby isn’t a fetus-on-the-outside anymore. She’s a separate person (who still needs me of course). She goes for longer periods of time between nursing these days, unless it’s a clusterfeeding-growth-spurty day. She’s also starting to be…
Well, not of energy, but of free time today. Yesterday, my girl didn’t nap at all, and nursed almost all day. Today she’s been sleeping almost all day. But who could resist the pun, when I’ve been playing with my serger today? I bought this serger based on its TONS of 4-5 star reviews, and…
What Is It? October is national SIDS awareness month, so I had the opportunity to review the HALO SleepSack Swaddle. It is a roomy sleep sack that you zip your baby into, with an optional swaddling band to wrap and velcro around the baby’s arms. HALO wants you to know that putting babies to sleep…
When I was pregnant, I felt like poo and didn’t want to do much of anything. Cooking, cleaning, crafting, anything. Now that this baby is OUT (and awesome by the way) I have renewed energy and motivation. And an excuse to craft. An excuse to craft a lot of things. You’ve seen some of the…
What Is It? I got to try out Sanük Footwear’s June Bug in brown. The company’s name, Sanük, is the Thai word for “fun” and they try to keep a light attitude in their business. They started out making sandals out of inner tubes and carpet! Now they make surfer shoes and other simple footwear…
Since Okra has been in season and in abundance at our farmer’s market, we’ve been eating it almost every week lately. And this way of making it is so easy and delicious (and NOT slimy – which I know you’ll appreciate if you’re like me and hate slimy okra) that this is how we’ve prepared…
What Is It? Coconut cream concentrate is basically ground up coconuts, oil and all. Think of peanut butter, but instead of peanuts, it’s coconuts. In the name of all that is holy, this is amazing stuff. It’s mostly fat (1 tablespoon contains almost 100 calories of fat) which means a spoonful can be an excellent…
gDiapers not only has Small, Medium, and Large gPants, but also newborn Tiny gPants which are intended for your babies when they’re at their smallest. A lot of people out there seem to be very curious about these tiny gPants, especially since they’re not sold in stores, and are only available in the new baby…
What Is It? Bravado Designs makes a nursing tank that is different from every other nursing tank I’ve seen. Why is it different? Because it has a REAL BRA inside. Not a skimpy shelf bra. From 32D to 40G, women in a wide range of sizes will be able to buy a nursing tank that…
I saw this recipe on the Tropical Traditions site, and made a version of it (changed a couple things to suit what ingredients I had). Aren’t they pretty little squares? Coconut Cream “Health Fudge” In a bowl, mix: 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut cream concentrate 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder…
