    My Little Buffalo

Strollerderby, aka a review of Bumbleride.

Remember when I fell in love with Bumbleride almost two years ago?  It seems so long ago – before I was even pregnant.  & since I wasn’t pregnant, I pretended to be in the family way & waltzed into the local baby boutique to test drive the Bumblerides.  & then when I was pregnant with [...]

Toyland.

Oh, baby toys.  They’re fun, cute, obnoxious, expensive, & outgrown so quickly. Basically, the bane of my existence. We lucked up with a few toys from consignment sales, plus receiving tons of toys & books as gifts from both friends, family, & companies.  So Harrison is NEVER without fun in his life, although we try [...]

How to not skin your knees.

Harrison is a MASTER crawler.  He first crawled in my hospital room after months of just…looking like he would crawl.  Then he took off.  Within three weeks he was pulling up, sitting down on his own, crawling, & as of this past Sunday, STANDING ON HIS OWN. I know.  & right now, he’s standing over [...]

Even more fluff!

But this time, it goes on a baby’s butt: CLOTH DIAPERING. That scream you hear is The Momma as I hurtle her back 30 years wondering, “WHY WHY WHY WHY, OH GOD, BLAIR, WHY?!?!?!”  Because back in the day, it was a sign of I HAVE ARRIVED if you could afford Pampers.  So if someone [...]

Parenting books.

When I was pregnant, I was a BIG fan of What to Expect When You’re Expecting.  Some folks hate it.  They think it fear-mongers or that it doesn’t have enough information.  I was also a fan of the Mayo Clinic, & y’all know how deep my love of Baby Proofing Your Marriage runs. But parenting [...]

Sullivan & Sawyer Baby Co.

Congratulations to Laura & Sarah – y’all have mail & will be getting a toy clip Katy (the chick that won last time), said: “I won your Sullivan & Sawyer giveaway from a few weeks back, and let me verify that these clips are AWESOME! They are definitely more like a latch than a clip, [...]

Murphey's Law of baby vomit.

CLOSED Y’all…I’m dying.  DYING of laughter.  If you have not gone through & read the vomit stories, PLEASE DO IT on this lovely Friday afternoon.  It is so worth it & will make you smile.  People with vomit in their mouths.  Someone compared the taste of Alimentum to “Tossing A Salad.”  & poor Amy got [...]

Because Harrison is manly enough to drink from a pink bottle.

A few weeks ago, my best girl Mandy over at Harper’s Happenings gave me the heads up that Coddlelife was looking for a blogger to write-up a product review.   I peeked over their website, saw that their bottles were formulated for colic & within five seconds, tapped out a rather presumptuous email to their [...]

I was in Battle of the Books in 6th grade, but there is no battle like Blair vs. Pooh Bear baby books.

ahhh, the “baby book.”   Is there any psychosis in third tri (other than a Labor Watch) quite like discovering the perfect baby book?  I think not.  It was sometime in July that the thought came upon me over burritos lunch at my desk — OH MY GOD, I DON’T HAVE A BABY BOOK!! In [...]
