As part of the #MoDSquad for Father’s Day, this is what #Imbornto

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and really, this organization is so easy to support. Read the later hashtag again, except this time, say it aloud. #Imbornto, that’s a heavy line isn’t it? It kind of reminds you of the last line Tom Hanks said in Saving Private Ryan. For the record it was “Earn this” and for me it was more motivational than sad. March of Dimes has partnered with The Motherhood this Father’s Day to spread awareness, raise some money this Father’s Day season and be thankful.

Making babies and the many roads of a child’s conversation

Perhaps it should be called the autobahn or the cul-de-sac of a child’s conversation. It’s those times when you’re innocently talking to a child and they open up a whole new dimension of where you were planning on going with the conversation. Sometimes it’s an innocent cul-de-sac where the conversation goes round and round while other times it takes that light speed to Endor jump from innocent to hold me tightly, I need a moment. This is a combination of the two of those streets.

The Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller review

The maze of figuring out what stroller to purchase can be really confusing. The jogging strollers look the coolest to some, but may not be able to accommodate the baby carrier. A combination stroller of sort is the Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller; it works with children 6 months old to 50 pounds and is good for everyday use, as well as more active occasions.

Buzzworthy Baby custom art giveaway with #BlogPop

Last year I reviewed a really unique product called Buzzworthy Baby. It’s a custom made print designed to celebrate your baby and family that can be done on print, canvas or on framed wall art. The folks at Buzzworthy Baby were kind enough to donate one print as part of #BlogPop. If you have a new baby this is one keepsake that you’ll keep forever-and it ages very well.

Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light 2 is super simple & light-giveaway

Growing up my father used to say “you’re not holding your mouth right”, when I was trying to do something but not succeeding. It was always a seemingly simple task that proved frustrating because it looked like it should be happening, but wasn’t. Putting up a pack and play is like that, especially the middle bar that folds in half. Enter the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light 2. Coming in at only 11 pounds it’s the lightest, easiest travel crib we’ve ever used.

The Baby Neptune Ocean Orchestra: great sound, interactive and fun

As I mentioned, we love Baby Eisnstein. We had an earlier version of the Baby Neptune Ocean Orchestra when our oldest was just a baby. While the toy was fun and played some nice classical music, it wasn’t anything remarkable. “How much could they really improve a device?”, I thought before I opened this up. This toy is cool, the sound is crisp and the lights are vivid.

The Metra diaper bag from JJ Cole Collections review

You know you’re in for some quality when a diaper bag is part of a collection. The Metra diaper bag from JJ Cole Collection is all quality, packed with pockets and has a long enough strap to easily slip over your head and around your shoulder. That’s the way cool dads wear the diaper bag. It looks like they’re a bike messenger except you’re delivering diapers, wipes or snacks for irritated small people.

In defense of a hot mom on Facebook and fat children in England

The other day I read this great article in The Daily Mail. It was written by a health professional at a weight management center, or centre as he would write. This morning I was greeted with the obvious bait link of a headline, “Hot Mom on Facebook Defends Herself”. That story was not what I thought it would be, but it was also a great read about motivation, exercise and parenting. I simply combined the two stories in my head to come up with the train wreck of a headline: In Defense of a hot mom on Facebook and fat children in England.
