No TV! – One More Reason

How many times have you heard people preach “No TV” for your kids? Well, here is another reason to motivate the cause. My baby daughter started throwing up at night, every night and only at night at her last feeding. The first few days that this happened, I attributed it to my older daughter’s contagious [...]

Girls, self esteem and our part as a parent

Everyone has their own parenting style and I am in no way trying to inflict mine on anyone. A friend of mine sent me an article about an episode of Oprah where a 3 year old girl has shocking issues with her self esteem. She is obsessed with her looks, she is afraid of being [...]

Chick Bib and Spoon

Our most important jobs as parents is making sure our kids are well fed. Well, at least in my opinion – being a Chinese mom, food = love. But for all moms finding ways to make eating more fun is always a challenge. I have found that fun spoons, plates and bibs always help. I [...]

Skip Hop Play Spot Foam Tiles

OK, this is not exactly the Persian rug you’ve dreamed of but you have to admit it is much better than the alternative ABC color block tiles. If you have modern decor this would go really nicely in your living room but even if you don’t, like me, this is so much more pleasant to [...]

Venti Oval Tub -14.5″W x 19″L x 9.5″H ($75) and Large Lunchbox – 10″L x 6″W x 7.5″H ($48) Tired of the basket storage look? I am. The basket liner always shrinks in the wash and eventually I can never get it back over the edges. Also, I hate the way dust collects in the [...]

Boys Shoes are Just as Cute!!

I have 2 girls so I always have to listen to my girlfriends with boys bemoan that girls shoes are so cute and boys shoes are not. Well, that’s just not true. OK, girls shoes are extremely cute and being girls we are naturally drawn to them, but boys shoes are also super cute. I [...]

CARES Kids Fly Safe

Traveling with little ones just got a whole lot easier. If you have ever flown with kids, you know the hassles.
