Loading tweets...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, …

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. …

Early Mornings

Just like that, totally out of the blue, the little peanut decided that she needed an extra playing hour in the mornings. At least that’s what I imagine goes …

Stuffy Nose
From all the things that we have had to deal with and learn about since we had Angelica, few things have been as stressful as a stuffy nose. You feel so helpless in trying to help her… your only quick remedy is saline water and an aspirator. While things don’t get better, she can not …

Frustrations of a Mother
You would have thought things get easier as a baby grows… that’s what I expected. And in a way, I suppose I can say that’s true, but only in certain areas of life, in others, things get a bit more complex to say the least. Angelica now sleeps through the night, has a set routine, …

Recipes for a Toddler
Recently I’ve been struggling with Angelica and her new food preferences. The days of purees are surely becoming the past, anything that looks too creamy is instantly pushed away. Purees were great, my Mom would load them with nutritious stuff, I wouldn’t have to worry about her not getting everything she needed. But now, I …
