Freddy and Friends Rocker

Baby & Kids Clothing

Sebastian loves his Freddy Rocking Chair. He is 6 years old and can fits very well in this chair. I was worried that he would be too big, but the Freddy Rocking Chair is available in 2 different sizes, one for toddlers and one for bigger (elementary age) kids.

Freddy’s sling seat supports up to 350 pounds and is suspended between two sturdy cross bars, each of which sits in a cylinder of dense foam measuring over three inches wide so that engineered strength and soft padding combine for exceptional comfort.

“His bright blue spots, brilliant smile and curly tail allow children’s
        minds to wander into the World of Freddy and create their own idea of
        who he is. Some children think
        Freddy is a dinosaur or dragon and others think he is an alien. The answer is in the mind of the beholder. Freddy is whoever your child wants him to be.”

O Yikes – Just the Bags Diaper Bag

Diaper Bags, Fun stuff for parents

I used the O Yikes "Just the Bags" diaper bag today for our first outing with Madelyn. I love it!

There are several easy to access compartments/pockets that made it easy to organize all of our "stuff". There is a cell phone pocket on the sholder strap so when your phone rings you  don’t have to dig through your entire diaper bag to find the phone.

The Just the Bags diaper bag comes with:

  • Insulated Bottle Holder
  • Toiletries Bag
  • Diaper Changing Pad
  • Baby Wipe Case

One other great feature of this diaper bag is that it is made of nylon on the outside and can be spot cleaned using warm water and mild soap. We all know how important it is to be able to spot clean a diaper bag.

Baby Madelyn is here!

New posts


Oh my gosh!! I can’t believe she is here.

The delivery went great (Sebastian’s delivery wasn’t nearly as easy) and I feel pretty good 6 days later.

Madelyn is a beautiful baby girl. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. at birth and is 19 inches long. Madelyn is a great sleeper.. almost too good. I worry sometimes about her sleeping too much and not eating enough. 

I am breastfeeding only which has gone pretty smoothly so far except for the sore, cracked nipple on the left and that she seems to prefer the right breast. I don’t know what’s up with that? Maybe the milk just tastes better from the right side? 

Sebastian absolutely loves having her around. He has been so good with her. He wants to hold her as much as possible. Sebastian sings to her when she cries.. he has a "song medley" of choice which inludes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rock a Bye Baby, and Lullaby.

We are going to her first doctors apointment today. I am a little worried that she has or is jaundiced. It seems to be mild but where her eyes should be white, is a greenish yellow and her face is a little yellow.

I am a little more accepting that the weight from the pregnancy is not going to just drop off this time. Last time (7 years ago) I assumed the weight would just melt away. It didn’t!! What a surprise.

I am really struggling with what to wear. I didn’t buy any nursing tops, so I am going to try to send Tim out today to buy some nursing wear. That should be interesting!!  So far, I have been sitting around in my "comfy pants" and a bra stuffed with nursing pads.  What a sight!  Tim has been really great about my "outfit" though.

I am going to get to work on some new product reviews now!

Product reviews on the way:
1. Stuffed Doll from Chloe in Style
2. Pacifer Pod from Chloe in Style
3. Dinosaur Rocking Chair for big kids
4. Carpet Skates for big kids
any many more!

Sebastian and Madelyn.. 2 days old.
