Do you ever wish your kids would just stick with what works? It seems like as soon as we find the perfect schedule, get the routine down to a science and everyone is well-rested, they suddenly stop napping or begin catapulting themselves from the crib. What is a tired and bleary-eyed parent to do? Whether this brings to mind your first or fifth child's latest antics, all of us have to face the same challenges and make it through to the other side!

"Corduroy" is about a little stuff bear in a department store who has lost one of [...]

Bath time is one of our favorite times of the day. The boys love playing in the water and I love having them contained in a small space where they can only make a mess with water for about 20 minutes.

Even since he was a baby, his sleeping habits have been less than desirable. We have never had a lullaby CD, but when I showed the "Over The Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project" CD, he was excited about having his very own lullaby CD and wanted to listen to it that [...]
