Spending hours carting around kiddos to activities in our mom ride is a chore that makes the hippest of moms feel tragically uncool. There are only so many times you can slack and pawn off rides on innocent friends before you yourself have to return the favor. I spend hours going about 5 square miles on any given day driving my kids around to activities. That’s a LOT of time to spend in a car! And I got so sick […]

Throwback Thursday to the time we did a MomCave LIVE episode called Halloween Hacks for Moms.

(See, mom?) The American Academy of Pediatrics put out a statement on the safest practices for infant sleep, in order to prevent SIDS. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) AAP recommendations on creating a safe sleep environment include: Place the baby on his or her back on a firm sleep […]

I have seen the light. And so […]
