We received this as a baby shower gift and it has been wonderful.  We began using it when we started feeding cereal around 4 months old.  Because the high chair is able to lean back and adjusts to different heights, it worked perfectly.  As he was able to sit up better, we have raised the seat to a normal position simply by pulling up on the handle at the top of the chair.  ...

This has quickly become my son's favorite book.  He is 20 months and has had the book for about 6 months.  The book is falling apart because he has read it so much so the durability could be better.  The face of the five monkeys show up on the front of the book and then one by one they disappear as the monky's fall off the bed.  My son loves looking for where th...

I've tried all of the name brand diapers and many of the generic ones too and I find these are by far the best diaper for your money.  I've found some of the other diapers have a scent to them, don't absorb much, or the tabs are broken - that is not the case with these.  The tabs are stretchy and the diaper itself it soft and absorbant.  With some other generic diaper...

Our family has been enjoying this wonderful theme park for several decades now.  It is based around the 1800's and all staff are dressed in period costume.  The rides relate to the theme too but they are still modern enough to entertain all ages.  In recent years they have added a few roller coasters and a barn swing.  The kids area has water games, a ball bit, and a gig...

The Hilton Frontenac is a great hotel in the middle of St. Louis.  When we first arrived we were a little apprehensive as it looked like the hotel was fairly old but it did have a very classy old-world feel to it.  We were impressed once inside as the hotel has been well kept and updated throughout the years.   Due to a conference being held there, the only rooms available w...

Canton, TX is home to the First Monday Trade Days held the weekend before the first Monday of each month.  I have visited three times and I've never been disappointed.  If going for your first time, check out the various websites out there dedicated to the Trade Days to become more familiar with the vendors, grounds, etc.  There is everything from brand new home decor to very...

Scrapbooks Etc magazine is relevant to both the beginner and the expert scrapbooker.  Each issue features reviews of new tools and products, demonstrations on tools, tons of ideas, and even more inspiration.  Since subscribing to this magazine, my layouts have stepped up a bit.  They are not more complicated, they simply look more refined.  Many times all I need to do is fli...

Our son loves animals, especially farm animals and this puzzle does not disappoint.  The puzzle pieces are raised so they are easy for little hands to pick up and put back into the correct place.  I like that the puzzle is made of real wood, not the cardboard that some are made of.  This means it is sturdy and holds up to the wear and tear of a toddler. Our son enjoys pointi...

We stumbled upon this hotel while driving through Texas.  We were tired and just wanted a decent room but we found something even better.  The hotel is brand new so everything was clean and comfortable.  Each room is a suite which was wonderful since our toddler was with us.  This gave him room to run and a refridgerator for his snacks.  The staff was nice and very acco...

I first subscribed to this magazine when my son was born, not really knowing if it would be helpful or not.  After a few issues, I realized how great it is and signed on for 3 more years.  I like that there is something useful, no matter what stage your child is in.  There are a few pages for each stage, starting at pregnancy and going until teens.  I usually check out the c...

I've searched high and low for the perfect jeans for my crazy body and I finally found them.  I'm taller than average so my selection is always limited.  I visited a locally owned business that carries a variety of brands and they suggested this brand as most woment come back for more.  I now count myself as one of those women.  The jeans come in a few different colo...

It can be hard to find something to hold my curls in place without weighing them down or making them feel "crunchy".  I've tried various mousses and sprays but none of them ever seemed to be what I was looking for.  On a whim I tried this and I've been using it ever since. The product somes in a spray bottle so no more hands full of goopy gunk to spread all over...

Although I breastfed the majority of the time, we invested in this container for the few times we needed formula while out and about.  It came in handy because I could have formula premeasured and could make a bottle whenever needed instead of worrying that it would go back before we could use it. As a bonus, this container can be used again and again as they get older.  We now use it...

I have not had this machine for long so I'm going to tell you about my first impressions with it.  The first thing I noticed is that it is super easy to use.  Cleaning does not take long and it is easy to maintain.The second thing I noticed is that it is very noisy.  I like to make coffee while my child is sleeping and I'm afraid it will wake him up.  I have not trie...
