I love this Dream Meadow Playmat & Changing Station from Haba. Look at all the little things that rustle, squeak and move about on the meadow. This soft play mat can be easily converted into a bed or diaper changer by flipping up the sides. The play gym bar allows little ones to discover even more by hanging different toys from the gym bar. Planet Happy’s mission is to promote imaginative and intelligent...

This week’s topic is going to be on makeup, shaving, nail polish, and certain fashion statements. What age do you think is appropriate for your girls to start wearing makeup? Will they or are they allowed to play with makeup now for dress up games? What about your boys? Can they play with make up too? How about nail polish? What age is appropriate to paint your kids’ nails and is it only ok for girls...

My son is exactly 28 months old and he just had his very first sleep over away from Mommy and Daddy last night.  I’ve been ready for a while but we were waiting until we were pretty sure our son would be ready.

We are planning on going “trick or treating” at the mall where I am sure he will get way...

With Thanksgiving coming up and the other holidays soon to follow, I figured a good topic for this week would be about the holidays. How do you balance time with your and your significant other’s family? Do you do things separately or all together as a big family? If you put up a tree and have young mobile children, how do you keep them out of the decorations? When do you start putting up decorations?...

This week I’ve chosen the topic of piercing children’s ears as our topic. How young is too young? Should you wait and allow them to decide for themselves? Is piercing ears only for girls or is it ok for boys too? Personally I have no problem whatsoever with people who choose to pierce their young babies’ ears, but I wouldn’t do it. I think if I have a daughter, I’d like to wait...
