My Favorite Baby Items

Posted on February 16, 2017 by Jamie H

Some favorite baby items from a mom of 3, with input from our fans! My baby is 3 years old! I just can’t figure out how it’s gone by so quickly! As she outgrew things, we’ve gotten rid of the items, since we don’t plan to have any more babies. And it might sound strange, but I’ve been surprised at how many things were difficult for me to part with! They saw us through 3 babies, and apparently I grew attached! So, since I know that there are a lot of first-time mamas out there, I thought I’d share with

Motorola Baby Monitor

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Jamie H

When Miss Magoo was a baby, we received a video monitor quite by accident (the wrong product was shipped to us, and the company didn’t want us to return it). I loved having a video monitor, but unfortunately an unsteady toddler tripped on the cord and broke it. So when I was given the opportunity to review a Motorola MBP36S Video Baby Monitor, I jumped on it! I have to tell a funny story about baby monitors. When Miss Magoo was a little baby, she started testing the waters to see if she could get out of her crib. So

Tips for Surviving The Witching Hour

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Lucy

If you have kids, you instantly know what I’m talking about when I mention the 5pm blues, pre-dinner drama or the “witching hour.” I have not met a mom yet that didn’t experience this. That’s the time of day, when everything and I mean EVERYTHING can go horribly wrong! The time of day when even the most sane mom wants to make the kids a pb&j sandwich and crawl in a hole and pray for bedtime to come soon!! So what can you do? I mean, besides the hole thing? Through a lot of trial and error and mostly error,

Gender Reveal Party Cookies & Idea

Posted on August 14, 2014 by Lucy

When I got pregnant with my first child about ten years ago (holy cow! has it really been that long?!), no one was doing the gender reveal parties. And since we didn’t do it with our first, we didn’t do it with any of our other children either. Though, I think I had barely even heard of the idea when I was pregnant with our fourth. But a little while back when Jamie and her children were over visiting, I had this great idea for gender reveal party cookies. Not that she needed the idea and neither did I, but

Homemade Baby Food

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Jamie H

I’ve always made the majority of the baby food my kids have eaten. It’s so easy, and a great way to use over-ripe fruits and vegetables, so it just seems like a given to me. I especially love to make homemade baby food from fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden. For most homemade baby foods, I cook them the same as I would for the rest of the family (or better yet, I use the leftovers from our dinner to make the baby food- just make sure that the veggies aren’t salted, and start with single ingredient foods). So

Second-hand Clothing

Posted on June 2, 2014 by Jamie H

One of the easiest ways I’ve saved money with kids is by buying them second-hand clothing. This can save so much money, especially when they’re babies and flying through the sizes so fast- you can find baby clothes that are like-new, for really cheap! Buying second-hand clothing also allows me to clothe my kids in better name brands than I could afford new. Second-hand clothing can be found at thrift stores and consignment shops, but my favorite place for buying it is at yard sales or garage sales. I find that the prices are much cheaper there than at used

Homemade Rice Cereal

Posted on March 31, 2014 by Jamie H

Make your own homemade rice cereal to feed your baby! Easy recipe! I bought a box of rice cereal when Miss Magoo was a baby. However, I found that I couldn’t get her to eat it. She wasn’t a picky baby, but when it came to rice cereal, nothing would get her to eat it- not even mixing it with fruits. She hated the stuff. So I decided to try a taste. Baby rice cereal is disgusting. After trying her awful cereal, I decided not to buy it again, but to try and make it myself. I know that store
