Homemade Baby Food – Simple & Healthy with Sage Spoonfuls!
I cannot believe my littlest one is already 7 months.  Where has the time gone!?  I still remember the 1st moments that I held her and when she opened her eyes with a bit of a smile.  I instantly fell in love.  Fast forward a few months and here I am experiencing her 1st crawls, 1st waves hello and her most recently her 1st solids.

I knew I wanted to provide fresh, healthy foods for her.  I had for her big sister 5 years ago.  At that time, I had more time on my hands, and just one child to look after.  Now with 2, a busy blogging career and more, I’ve been nervous about managing the added time of making homemade baby food!
I was presented with the chance to try Sage Spoonfuls – essentially a simple make …

Reading, writing and arithmetic.  That’s the focus.  What can you do to support your pre-school or elementary aged children as they embark on a new school year?  It’s important to keep it fun, with a hidden educational twist!  My years as an elementary school teacher have provided me with a keen eye on what’s worth it for educational fun.
I have been a fan of Rock ‘N Learn videos for many years.  In our home we have 5 of the videos and my daughter would watch them over and over if she had the time!  Most recently we enjoyed the Rock ‘N Learn Sight Words in DVD.  I was impressed, especially with the content.  Rock ‘N Learn videos are content heavy, light on graphics and always get the (learning) song stuck in your head.

The child is presented with dozens of sight words through the showing.  (Sight words are words that are …

What a great honor! This weekend SmartyPantsMama.com was selected as the Today’s Most Loved Site at SiteJabber.com!  Woo Hoo! SiteJabber is a site that I am certain many moms already use.  If you haven’t yet, you must!  It is “a consumer protection service which helps people avoid fraudulent websites and find good ones.”  Essentially, it is a superb online tool to get consumer advice from other moms and dad on all sorts of webpages.
I have used SiteJabber in the past to learn what websites are valuable to other consumers, in hopes of finding a site that would similarly be helpful to me as a mom. Thus far, I have found tons of sites for my daughter and a number of great recipe sites for me!  There are thousands of sites already reviewed, with many more waiting to get their 1st review.  Do you …

Product Baby B’Air Flight Vest
Smarty Pants Review
Just about a year ago we took an adventure to visit in laws and friends in NY. My 13 month old at the time traveled on my lap for the 3 hour flight. She was, and very much still is, a squirmy little thing. It was a challenge to get her to chill on my lap. I held her tight, realizing that I was essentially her seat belt – if I only had a Baby B’Air Flight Vest!

The Baby B’Air Flight Vest provides the exact security and safety every infant and toddler deserves! The munchkin wears it just like a vest. Straps secure the vest to the little one and then mom’s seat belt slides through a loop in the back. As soon as mom has her own seat belt secure, the little one is secure! …

List Caddy
Smarty Pants Review
As many of my readers know, I am a Grocery Game junkie! I head to 2 supermarkets and CVS each week with the Grocery Game list in hand and coupons in my pocket. The pre-selected coupons go in a sandwich baggie in my pocket and the list gets shoved in my purse. During my time at the store, I am constantly pulling the list out of the bag and putting it back in – many times even misplacing it. I had the chance to try out the List Caddy during my most recent trip to Publix while vacationing in Naples. I attached, very easily, the caddy to the handlebar of the cart and placed my infamous list on it. It worked PERFECTLY! I was able to zoom around the store, without once stopping to find my list. Much to …
