Let’s Play!

Here are some of the best ways to entertain your baby in the first 3 months, according to Deborah Weber, Ph.D., manager of the Fisher-Price Child Research Department.

Keep it Simple. Offer baby toys with high contrast primary colors and patterns; you can later introduce play things in bright colors. Toys should be easy for baby to graps …

An article titled, “The Good Wife’s Guide“, was allegedly published in a 1955 issue of either John Bull or Housekeeping Monthly. Some doubt it’s authenticity but it’s an entertaining read none the less.

Despite a few obvious pitfalls in the article such as, “remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours” or “don’t complain…if he stays out all night”, there are rules in this article I feel a wife should do (Forgive me feminists but I explain more below). So without …

Dear Blog and Faithful Readers,
I have sorely neglected you over the past 3 weeks. I’ve failed to fill your bottomless bellies with rich fruitful words and photos. Blog – you were almost abolished into the mommy blog scrap pile…full of blogs that once had purpose and life but are now just thin skeletons resembling something once great.

Mix that in with a midterm paper, working full time, a dash of a 4 month old and a sprinkle of a husband in law school and you have a recipe for disaster. Stan asked the other day, “Are we the only species that intentionally deprive ourselves of sleep?” It’s true actually. I Googled it.

She is practicing sitting up and she LOVES to smile. I think most of all she loves to smile. She even smiles at the dog – Shammy Sharoo.

When you create a story you can connect it to other stories and they link together creating a web effect. You can read stories in 19 different categories include family, relationships, and religion.
They have also partnered …
