The ABC’s of Carpooling
As the school year is here (or just about here) for so many of us, it is also the time for carpooling. Graco has pulled together the ABC’s of carpooling with kids – just some things to keep in mind as you hit the road this fall with a gaggle of kids in your car [...]
Wondrous Wednesday #36
This is my friend Katie’s niece “K-Cakes.” She is hard at work on her art project. You gotta love the smock! “I’m so glad Mommy likes abstract art. I’m getting good at this, this one will definitely make the fridge!” Wednesday we’ll be sharing a photo showing off a little bit of wonder in [...]
Parents Share Their Baby Soothing Tips

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why???????

Every Wednesday we’ll be sharing a photo showing off a little bit of wonder in the lives of our extended Graco family of customers, employees and friends.
What’s on your playlist?
The time has come for me to really crack down on what words reach my child’s ears. Slick is starting to talk a lot more. I know he’s hearing some conversations that are not appropriate for children- in the home and outside the home. My husband and I are trying to watch what we say. [...]
Random Thoughts
Sometimes my mind wanders to weird and interesting places. Really.
