My Guide to Choosing a Convertible Car Seat
Nuna Rava Infant Convertible Car Seat I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me to choose a convertible car seat (a recurring theme on this blog). Given convertible car seats are meant to take your child from baby to toddler - all the way up to 65 lbs in some cases - this felt like a particularly weighty decision (no pun intended). I went so deep into the far corners of the internet and at-home trials that I now feel I can speak with some authority on this particular product ... View the Post
newborn checklist: my complete list
Age Blocks / Honest Diapers / Pottery Barn Rocker / Inke Wallpaper As I've told you all before, I was utterly clueless about babies and their needs prior to Wyatt's arrival.

newborn checklist: favorite toys for 0-6 months
Skip Hop Play Center / Old Navy Footed Sleeper / Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Just in time for the Holidays (literally - most of these are still available on Amazon for Christmas delivery), I've compiled a list of Wyatt's favorite toys for the first 6 months. Is it just me, or is there a disproportionate number of new arrivals due around this time? Two of my very best friends delivered this past week - I'm so excited to meet them! I call these "toys", but they might be better described as ... View the Post
