I agree that 8 oz of expressed milk can seem an impossible feat! And I also don't like the color.
And since when is breastfeeding "not practical?" I don't think they know what practic...
Assuming you know people in the town in which you'll be celebrating, why not have a small party at a local kid-friendly venue the day after Christmas? Run around the gym at the local Y or go to th...
I make the invitations, too. That's my favorite part. Each kid has a little scrap book with a page for each invitation and a pic from the party. They love to look through and remember all the th...
My kids are fully entertained in a room stock full of toys all day...its called day care. We go outside on weekends. In the house? Not even a tenth as many toys as most of their friends. And yet...
Our dentist offers $2 per pound of candy (and then sends the candy to the troops overseas). My husband, to save himself a drive to the dentist's office, gave my son $3 for half of his candy. So n...
I once made the most beautiful and delicious-smelling flourless chocolate torte for my hubby's bday. It wans't until we took the first bite I realized I had used unsweet chocolate instead of bitte...
Two kids and never used a sippy cup with a straw or valve. The plain cups from Tupperware that can also be used without their lids worked just fine. Yes, they can spill, but my kids only drink in...
I went to charm school and cotillion. Every day I'm amazed to encounter powerful, moneyed people at business functions who lack etiquette. These are skills that have to be taught and nutured thro...
It's the brain-dead, 99% asleep, middle of the night nursing where you need the arms...the kind you're most likely to do in a rocking chair in the nursery. Of course, if you nurse for several year...
We have the Vega. My biggest issue with it is the base has to be unscrewed to removed the slipcover. Not very convenient and the slipcover is a big pain to wrestle on and off. Looks good and is ...
We have the white plywood "chandelier" from Urban Outfitters in our otherwise high-end great room. (High end b/c all the furnishings were hand-me downs. Urban Outfitters is more along what I can ...
I loop the handles over the top of a hanger and hang them in the closet. One hanger for bday bags, one for holiday, one for wine, one for weddings/showers, etc.
Or you could use the 5th column to plan dinner for that day. That's how I use the 5th row on my MomAgenda weekly calendar. I like this one, but I think it would be difficult for my kids to use in...

We always go to the zoo on Thanksgiving morning. It's usually just us and the animals.

Just keep a clothes pin in the diaper bag. Use it to clip any napkin around baby.
