An umbrella stroller is so called that because it can fold up neatly and be put away in your car without much fuss. Perhaps yours is difficult to fold, frustrating to push or seemingly has a mind on its own with a desire to pinch your fingers. With that as my baseline experience with those types of strollers I am reviewing the new BMW Maclaren Buggy. Continue reading Test driving the new BMW Maclaren Buggy

Little Pim review: an entertaining way to teach language
I speak enough of a couple languages to be a good tourist. None of them are fluent, but I could order food, understand the numbers and get basic directions. That leaves me with the question of how do you teach your child another language when you, yourself can barely speak a second one? Little Pim has a series of DVDs, audio CDs, books and apps that make things learning another language possible for children. Continue reading Little Pim review: an entertaining way to teach language
What to expect from your 18 month old toddler
Babies start to become fun when they turn 5 months. Granted they are always fun, but sometimes the work to fun ratio is weighted heavily (exclusively) in work. By now your little toddler is probably walking to some extent. What else can you expect from your 18 month old toddler? Continue reading What to expect from your 18 month old toddler
The Sears ‘All things Baby’ sale is a great primer for parents to be
When I have a spare moment (rarely) I think back to when I had free time (before children). The needless books we purchased provided us with thousands of tips we’ve since forgotten, paranoid thoughts we didn’t listen to (thankfully) and a litany of things we’d need for the baby. Currently Sears is having the ‘All Things Baby’ sale. It’s a simple title with samples of everything you’ll need at some point during your time as a parent to small people. Continue reading The Sears ‘All things Baby’ sale is a great primer for parents to be

NogginStik is the rattle that you wish you had as newborn
A rattle is a rattle. We received lots of them for each child when they were born. They were silver or multicolored plastic, made a rattling sound and did everything a rattle should do. But what if a rattle could do more than just make a shaking noise when a baby moves it? A NogginStik is just that, it’s bumpy on the stick part, has multicolored lights and a mirror on the bottom of it. Continue reading NogginStik is the rattle that you wish you had as newborn
Checklist with a Tired Parent: Why is my Crawler Crying?
More Mojo was upset. At 11 months old he was crying, yelling and becoming the red faced, high pitched noise machine that makes people who don’t already have children take an oath of celibacy. When your crawler is in the thick of a tantrum it’s tempting to get frustrated. When that happened to us we did get frustrated, but also ran through our toddler Q & A checklist. Continue reading Checklist with a Tired Parent: Why is my Crawler Crying?
Lil Helper is a simple, helpful device that crawlers need to have
Little crawlers love the play the drop something game. They drop it, you pick it up and the game repeats over and over. Sometimes the game is cute. When they play the game at the dinner table with their cup of milk it’s never cute. Continue reading Lil Helper is a simple, helpful device that crawlers need to have
