October Is National SIDS Awareness Month {+ Ollie Swaddle Review}

Ever since becoming a mother, SIDS (or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has been one of the scary unknowns that is always in the back of my mind.  Back when I did daycare, they even had us providers take a class on it.  Now as foster parents, both my husband and I had to take a SIDS/SUIDS training class again.  While they truly don't know what causes young children to die for no apparent reason in their sleep, per our training, unsafe sleeping conditions has been a leading finding in almost every Read more [...]

Adora Dolls BabyTime Babies 5 Piece Set + Giveaway (US & Canada) 10/18

Our 2 year old daughter is obsessed with babies!  Ever since we took in our first (4 month old) foster baby over a month ago, she just can't get enough.  And even though that little girl was only with us two weeks, we knew our daughter missed her as she'd walk around the house looking for baby after she left.  Thankfully, the void didn't last long as our next foster baby arrived just three days later!  So now, with a real tiny baby in our home, the obsession has doubled for her and I was so happy Read more [...]

NCircle Entertainment’s ~ Guess How Much I Love You & Gumby Gift Set + Giveaway (US & Canada) 10/15

With the cooler days creeping in, our family loves to enjoy snuggling in the house with a cup of hot chocolate and an entertaining children's DVD.  Since we don't have any television channels, we rely solely on DVDs that we own for our movie entertainment.  We find that this is a great option for our family with six kids under 11, as I no longer have to monitor inappropriate commercials and regular viewing choices.  I automatically know that every DVD I get from NCircle Entertainment will fit Read more [...]
