The Great American Teach-In “Cloth Diaper Laundry” Session
Each year my son’s school holds The Great American Teach-In event- it’s the new PC version of “Career Day” since it also allows parents/caregivers without employment to attend and share about their hobbies too. I know that kids love when the firefighters/policemen/doctors come in to explain their exciting jobs but I decided I should go […]
7 Ways Cloth Diapering Changed My Life
Without being dramatic I can absolutely say with confidence that cloth diapering changed my life! That one decision I made while pregnant over 5 years ago has paid dividends for my family and not just because we saved a few thousand dollars over the course of diapering two children. You’ll be surprised at how drastically […]
A look at “Life After Diapers”
It has been about 8 months since Everett potty trained. This time in my life can now be referred to as “AD.” I suppose the previous 5 years were “DD” and pre-kids my life was “BD.” Life “BD” is nothing like “DD.” Even though there aren’t diapers to wash, there is still plenty of other […]
When Twitter Comes to Life- or ABC Kids Expo 2011
The best part of ABC Kids Expo, the largest Juvenile Products Convention in the US- is not seeing all of the new products. For me, the highlight of ABC Kids Expo is meeting the faces behind the name. Unless you were there or have been before it is impossible to grasp the enormity that is […]
4th of July in Albany, NY

I am finally committing to a blog conference for this year. In August I will be hitting the skies and flying out to San Diego for BlogHer with my family in tow!!! I wrestled with the decision, mainly due to the controversy surrounding the sponsors and swaggyness, but in the end I knew as long […]
We Have Been Hit
By the sickness. Our entire family of 4 has been subjected to colds. Then, my toddler started puking. And having diarrhea. And then it struck my husband. And I am frantically trying to kill this thing and get life back to normal. No one should have to clean up poop and puke to the extent […]

Texas 2.0
We got back from Texas on Sunday. It was a long day which began at 3:30 am and lasted until 5:30 pm. 2 flights and a 1.5 hour car ride home. I am lucky that my son is a great traveler and has always been great on the plane. We visited my husband’s grandmother. She […]
