I sure do! OK, I must admit – I don’t get it when new mothers say “we’ll come visit when we get settled down” or “we’ll go on vacation when the kids get older”. Whaaat? What is it that you can’t do on the go? I see that I am in minority when I just […]

I was so happy when I got this beautiful puzzle mat from a friend. I loved the colors and it seemed like the perfect surface to put the baby gym on. I did notice a funny smell but I ignored it. A few days later a friend sent me a message on facebook. She said […]
