The Power of Music on Babies
The easiest thing I've ever done to encourage my little one's well being is play the right music. There have been countless studies done on increased brain activity/development in young children who listen to music, particularly Classical. The findings tout high levels of spatial understanding,focused learning and reasoning abilities in little ones regularly exposed to pieces by brilliant composers like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, etc.But more than I care about the intellectual effects, I love seeing the influence positive music has on my children's moods and attitudes about life. The emotional benefits will make any mother's heart sing: More Here...Finding that Perfect Stroller! A Site With Stroller Reviews and Giveaways!
I remember standing in the stroller aisles and eying the myriad range of strollers with intent suspicion. The perfect stroller seems to have always eluded me. I had a travel system when I first had my baby. My son of course absolutely hated it...and the fact that it took up half my trunk did not have me jumping with joy either. However, I loved the ease of the stroller and the ability to lug so much of baby stuff around and keep that little imp of mine occupied! And then I just went and brought the quick and easy umbrella stroller when he was a little older. But that was a nightmare, I went through 3-4 strollers which had one problem after the other when we finally decided to rid ourselves of all strollers when my son turned 3! More Here...
Surprise for Momma! -He Wasn't Asleep
Guest post by A Little Tipsy
We recently took the wall off of the little one's crib. We did not hear him get up from his nap. He was like a stealth tiger. We found him like this.
He found mommy's make up and nail polish. He is pretty talented if I do say so myself! More Here...

How Much TV is Too Much?
How much television is too much? I have baby-sat in households where TV is limited to an hour a day and households where a two-year-old was simultaneously watching cartoons on the TV and a movie on a portable DVD player. Working with such different families has led me to wonder how much TV I will allow my own children to watch once I become a parent. Below I will explore the good and the bad of TV time.More Here...

Great for Fall -Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe
Here's a fun little Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcake recipe that is pretty darn healthy (I think it's like 1 weight watchers point, no I am not on Weight Watchers, but my former co-workers who were loved these) and ridiculously easy! Oh, and did I mention yummy! My husbands co-workers (aka computer geeks) loved these!
Ingredients:
1 box spice cake
1 small can Pumpkin
1/2 bag of chocolate chips
Mix it up, put in cups and bake for 22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. This will make about 20ish pumpkin cupcakes depending on how big you make them.More Here...
