I can be a bit fastidious when it comes to my family's clothes. Stains drive me bonkers and when you have a couple rough and tumble kiddos, that's not the best attitude to have. I've made a conscious effort to just let them be kids, dirt and all. So, when I was introduced to ...read more
I have a toddler and an infant, so I’ve yet to experience the hustle, bustle, and manic mayhem of the much-dreaded (or perhaps highly-anticipated) back-to-school season—at least not as a parent. My son does attend nursery school though, and getting him prepared for a few hours ...read more
