When it comes to clothing for little girls, you don’t have to look far to find cute. Everything is cute. And pink. And purple. The challenge is looking beyond that to find cute in the everyday. Cute in the not pink. So when I received an email from the folks at Simply Chickie, describing their [...]

When I had my first baby shower, I left well armed with baby bath products. Baby lotion, baby powder, baby bath soap, etc., etc., etc. The brands were all of the usual suspects. After doing some research a couple of months in, I was dismayed to learn that many of these products actually contained parabens [...]
When my boys were babies I had the cribside CD player so that we could play soft, classical and traditional lullabies for them. After hearing Rock-a-Bye baby for the 1000th time, I was feeling like I needed to find something that I would enjoy as well. At that time, there really weren’t many options available. [...]
