Raising Daughters

Posted by Donna Donnelly in March 11th 2010  

When I first entertained the thought of becoming a mother, I thought ”I hope to have a set of twins – 1boy and 1girl”.  This would get it all done with one pregnancy! … and then we’d go from there.  I thought a nice family would be 2 or 4 children.  DH and I made a pact [...]

Becoming a mom…the SECOND time around

Posted by Allison Meadows in March 8th 2010  

There are many varieties of family sizes and dynamics whether it’s having just one little one, to the other extreme like the Duggar family with 19 kids (and counting).  Although I don’t have any kids of my own now, I have always wanted three.  I grew up with two brothers and loved the balance we had in my [...]

Posted by Donna Donnelly in March 3rd 2010  

 We love our Blossoms!

Feeding time can often be a challenge for parents – especially when you are dealing with Twins.
“Julie and Judy’s”  mom  tells us that  they LOVE their new Graco® Blossom™ 4-in-1 Seating System!  and she does too.  Look how happy, relaxed and smart these sisters look in their strappy seats.  The seats will grow with them too  from infant…to toddler…to [...]

Leaving Baby with a Sitter – Helpful Hints for Prepping Your Caregiver

Posted by Michele Grant in March 2nd 2010  

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to watch my best friend’s baby, Sweetness, while she and her husband had a date night.
Sweetness is an adorable 9 month old who has just discovered her mobility (crawling and walking holding on to furniture), has a fondness for squashes (summer squash, pumpkin, zucchini), and has inherited her parent’s [...]

Stir Crazy? 5 Ways to Celebrate a Day Indoors

Posted by Kelly Voelker in February 22nd 2010  

While we might have gotten 60 degree weather here in Atlanta this weekend (come on, we had snow last weekend!), we’ve heard the rest of the country is either still thawing out a little, or is rained in.
Sometimes it can be hard to think up things to do all day when you’re stuck inside, so here [...]

Connecting: Now and Then

Posted by Michele Grant in February 19th 2010  

My girls and I do a lot of things together. We connect through every day activities; we cook (KK stirs), we clean (Emmers does laundry – hooray!), we eat together (sometimes not very neatly), we shop together, etc… In a lot of ways, I think it’s easier to connect with them now, mainly because, well, [...]

Huskies are a Girl’s Best Friend!  
Look at this pair!  Ever since “Ms Amanda” arrived home from the hospital 18 months ago, she and her best friend “Jax”  have been inseparable.   For those of us who are first time expectant parents, but already  ”pet parents” it is often a worry to anticipate the introduction of the new bundle to the [...]

Posted by Melissa Parlaman in February 15th 2010  

When you have a baby, your house is transformed into everything baby: baby clothes, baby bottles, baby toys, baby gear, etc. Not only am I surrounded by Graco products at work all day, it continues when I get home. I realized that on any given day, I am using Graco products non-stop.
Here is a quick run down [...]
