With a new baby on the way, we’ve been trying hard to make the transition for my little man as easy as possible. With less than 3 months to go, we realized this was a lot harder than we thought it was going to be. As many of you know, the little man has been co-sleeping with us since he was born. It was simply the best solution for my breastfeeding child and our family. Despite having ended that lovely bond over 6 months ago, we found it hard to take him out of our bed. It was nice having

Getting Organized with the Experts from Staples

One of the hardest things about being on bed rest is not being able to just do what I want to do, like organize! Definitely the time has let me make endless lists upon lists of things TO DO. Most people get the urge to organize before the New Year, for us, Chinese New Year is right around the corner. One of the traditions is to sweep out the old for the New Year and that includes organizing and tidying up loose ends before welcoming in the New Year. For many others, the New Year might have started off rough

I was already pushing it for weeks and probably taking way more pain medication

Get Your Sillies Out! concert and it’s making its way around to a neighborhood near you. This was our first Yo Gabba Gabba! concert and I’m pretty sure it won’t be our last. From the moment we entered the very chill Paramount Theatre in Huntington, LI, we were on our feet dancing away. Yes I admit, even on medical bed rest, I was up and bopping (gently) away. The excitement in the room
