We've been reading to both our little ones since before they were even born. We read to them in the womb and we still read to them: board books, picture books, and, now, chapter books. We make the silly voices, we read them the same book a thousand times, and we read to them ...read more
Rest Assured With the VTech Safe and Sound Baby Monitor

Baby Brezza Glass: Homemade Purées in 15 Minutes Flat
I never even tried making my own baby food. I thought I would. I said I would. And then, once my babies were born, I just didn’t. Both times. I had too much to do. Too little time. And too many dirty dishes, pots, and pans that already needed cleaning. Did I actually need to ...read more

The UviCube: Say Bye-Bye to Bacteria, Baby!
