I love Thanksgiving, it’s my second favorite holiday of the year. Every year I start getting excited as we approach that last November Thursday… looking for recipes, decorations, planning everything in my head! But there’s one thing I never change, and that is my roasted turkey recipe. I vary the stuffing, but don’t dare to …

Baby Stroller Parking Permit
Ever seen one of those green stroller parking signs at the mall or other large parking lots? I usually notice on my walk down to our car, which usually gets parked pretty far from the mall entrance. That’s when I wish I had one of those permits to park up close; a big help for …

Harmful Chemicals in Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo
Johnson & Johnson has always been a trusted brand for babies, I least that’s how I thought of it. I still can’t believe they were using two harmful chemicals in some of their shampoos. One, dioxane, a known carcinogen; the second, quaternium-15, which releases formaldehyde. I found from another source that formaldehyde can cause eye, …

Long Time, No Blog
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a new blog. Is having a new baby girl a good enough excuse? I was too busy making bottles and catching up on sleep! Well, the important thing here is that I’m back. I am happy to announce that Gabriella arrived on April 30, red like a …

8 Weeks to Go
Here I am sitting on the couch feeling a little more “cowish” every passing minute. No, I cannot help it, in fact, it makes me feel happy. I have 8 weeks left before my c-section, 8 weeks before we meet our little Gabriella… and every pound I seem to gain makes me feel like a …

BPA-Free Simplified
When I had Angelica, there was already information about baby bottles needing to be BPA-free and quite a few selection of such bottles readily available. I bought the ones I liked and looked for the BPA-free sign on other items like pacifiers, spoons, plates… and never gave it another thought. Now I’m pregnant again and …

Baby Shower for Gabriella
This past weekend was the baby shower for Gabriella (name of my soon to come baby girl). My Mom planned it and my cousin Elisa organized the games. We had a great time with all the girls, chit chatting, playing around, eating… Wish we could get together like that more often. I’m so glad everyone …

Talk Baby, Talk!
Since last summer I’ve been concern with Angelica’s talking. She wouldn’t say much for her age and I wasn’t sure if it was normal or not. She was barely 18 months old then so I waited a bit, as suggested by the Pediatrician, to see if she would bloom a bit in the language department. …
