(via techmamas) Take a toddler to the track (and say that 5 times fast) like Vicky at SecretMomThoughts. Serve zucchini & black bean quesadilla. I got the idea from [...]

Activity #38: Learn baby massage

Whether you’re a total zen mama or a skeptic, I highly recommend learning a few techniques of infant massage. You can enjoy some quiet time and get to know your baby’s tiny developing body AND often get the kid to chill out and go to sleep. Win win. I took a short workshop in baby massage [...]

Dude, is it hella hot today. (I’m in California, and this is how we talk.) I let baby Scarlett engage in about three different types of water play within a four-hour span of time. She was out in the backyard, sitting in a highchair with bowls of water and spoons to splash with, and [...]

Another week of fun activities for moms and babies courtesy of Kristi at Ciao Bambino. If you’re a local mum, why not be a tourist in your own town for a week?! Just visiting? Stay at the posh Hotel Manoir Victoria, which has a special entrance for strollers and an indoor pool. What’s not to love [...]

Activity #727: Roll your own sushi

This post is from from my other blog here

photo by Sarah Gilbert Years ago, I went to a silly “roll your own” sushi and head-shaving party hosted by some people I barely knew. I dragged my sister, Meggan, along to keep me company and we enjoyed the general mayhem of the theme. Rolling your own sushi is quite easy if you have all the ingredients. [...]

Tweet like a mama bird

This post is from from my other blog here

Heather and I went to the BlogHer ‘08 conference this year and I must say that my single biggest takeaway was that Twitter is the next big thing. That very day, I became an addict, installing Twitterberry on my phone and looking at the tiny messages people are posting all day long. Access it on [...]

This post is from from my other blog here

An enthusiastic reader of this site and our book, Sam, who lives North of the border and blogs at temporarilyme.com, is hosting a weekly challenge on her site. She has acknowledged that being a new mom of two is just as intimidating as being a rookie when it comes to getting out of the [...]

Craft some hair clips for you or baby

This post is from from my other blog here

Could these hair barrettes BE any cuter? No, I don’t think so. AngryChicken has a full tutorial about making a felted “sleeping bag” for these baby hair clips and then adorning them with buttons so they stay put. In my house, I’m a constant hair clip wearer (and thus, loser of hair clips). Sometimes my [...]

This post is from from my other blog here

If you’re getting sick of your “to do” list getting longer and not shorter and wondering where the heck is all your time going, try writing a “did do” list. Share it with your baby-daddy at the end of the day and encourage him to be very impressed. The truth is that your time is [...]
