Bummis Duo Brite Review

Jul 3,2014 / By Maria / 5 Comments

I received a product at no cost for review purposes. I was not otherwise compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. Bummis is a brand that’s been around for about 2 1/2 decades, and for good reason. Their high quality products are made in Canada, largely from materials sourced in North America, and they are constantly innovating.

Two Under Three – The Truth About The Perfect Age Spread

Jul 2,2014 / By Maria / 5 Comments

When my daughter was 18 months old, my father-in-law suggested that we hurry to have another child so we can get the diaper years “over with.” Their boys were 19 months apart (not on purpose) and that worked for them. I’d always hoped for 2.5 years or so between children but since my first was very high needs and has some special needs, we weren’t sure we were ready for another any sooner. I’d heard so many people say they had trouble conceiving their first & then – oops – surprise! We didn’t want that to happen to us, so we waited until we were really ready for another, to even try.

So, what is the perfect age gap? Is it easier to have more time between them? Have them in rapid succession and “get it over with?” Spoiler alert: there’s no perfect age gap between children. It depends as much on your child’s personality, your own, and your support system as it does on the months or years between them.

Mabel’s Labels Back To School Combo – Early Bird Pricing

Jul 1,2014 / By Maria / No Comment

Post contains affiliate links. I expect to be compensated for this post as a Mabel’s Labels affiliate. School has only been out for a few weeks here but yes, I’m already thinking about back & school! Last year I used Mabel’s Labels on my daughter’s school things, and they worked so much better than my old label maker method. I still have a ton of those left, so I won’t be buying any more for her, but my son will be in Kindergarten this fall and he’ll need his own!
