Toddler Sick Day Survival Guide & Essentials 0

Toddler boss was out of school last week with a pretty bad ear infection, and, unfortunately I wasn’t feeling my best either. Actually, that’s putting it mildly…I felt AWFUL. And for the record, let me just say that it sucks being sick while your child is sick.  It’s impossible to get rest when she’s awake and even if you can sneak in a nap at some point while she’s sleeping, you can’t get any sort of decent sleep because you really do need to be alert (even though the "non-drowsy" meds you took apparently missed the...

Moms-to-Be: Your Ultimate Hospital Bag Checklist 0

This post started out as one of several mommy-to-be lists that I created for myself almost two years ago in preparation for toddler boss’s arrival.  After I packed my bag, I didn’t look at the list again until a couple of weeks ago when I ran into a friend and fellow mompreneur who was preparing to have baby #3 in less than a week.

How to Introduce Your Baby to Yoga 0

This time last year, Riley and I had just started our "Mommy & Me" Thursday outings after a looong fall/winter hibernation. Our first adventure was a six-week “Itsy Bitsy Yoga” class at Flow Yoga Center, which was a wonderfully Zen-filled experience for both of us. Riley had just turned five months old; it was her first time around other babies; and she was mesmerized by the new faces, songs and baby-friendly poses.  I loved seeing her so happy and free in the same space where I went for pre-natal yoga while she was still growing...
