When PBN first sent me Amazing Baby and read that the author was Desmond Morris, I kept saying Desmond Morris’s name over and over because it sounded so familiar to me. After a bit of thinking, I realized that Morris is the guy who wrote The Naked Ape – a book my grandpa told me… Continue reading Grow Baby, Grow

Bruised and Engaged
The one negative that I have to say about My Baby A to Z is that it’s not very long. By the fourth time of Cara cycling through the video and me being punched in the arm to restart the video, I finally got smart to the “continuous play” option. [I think my arm is… Continue reading Bruised and Engaged
Junk Science and Betrayal
When I found out that my first child was a girl, I was relieved. Boys have higher rates of autism; we dodged that bullet. I had an overconfident self assurance that Cara was safe from this horrible, incurable disease. Thankfully, Caroline is six days away from her second birthday and she shows no signs of… Continue reading Junk Science and Betrayal
Magnetic Cuteness
I really don’t have anything negative to say about Magnet Street baby announcements. PBN asked me to review these announcements and since they were gonna give me 25 for free, [and I’m a cheap skate] I couldn’t turn them down. My initial thought on a magnetic baby announcement was that they were going to look… Continue reading Magnetic Cuteness
I Miss Maternity Clothes
It seems like these days that everyone is either getting pregnant, is pregnant, or is having a baby. One thing that I loved about being pregnant was the clothes. I know that sounds 100% counter intuitive judging by the picture to the left, but seriously, the maternity clothes that are out there really rawk. There… Continue reading I Miss Maternity Clothes

Maybe Baby Review and Giveaway
The only thing I don’t like about this book is the cover…and the copious talk of masturbating in bathrooms. The end. OK. That’s not really all of the review. Parent Bloggers sent me Maybe Baby: An Infertile Love Story which is written by Mathew M. F. Miller who writes Maybe Baby – the blog. The… Continue reading Maybe Baby Review and Giveaway
What’s In the Cup is More Important
Cara LOVES yogurt. Not just a little bit. Cara loves yogurt like a junky loves his next fix. She’s become just a tad bit independent in her old age and has started insisting that she feed herself the yogurt. Since she was eating the adult Yoplait that I eat, the stuff would always end up… Continue reading What’s In the Cup is More Important
Semi Homemade Meets The Heathers
Before Parent Bloggers offered The White Trash Mom Handbook for my reading and reviewing pleasure, I had never heard of Michelle Lamar or her blog, WhiteTrashMom.com. [That makes me a big, out of the loop looser, doesn’t it?] I was intrigued by the title of the book since #1 I’m from Arkansas, #2 I’m a… Continue reading Semi Homemade Meets The Heathers
That Baby DVD and CD
I grew up on a musical diet of The Beatles, Steeley Dan and Fleetwood Mac. Heck, my first concert was James Taylor when I was four. Tucker is as crazy about music as I am and we want to pass that love onto Cara. While I know that some parents swear by Baby Einstein DVDs,… Continue reading That Baby DVD and CD
