Customized Whiteboards from Tailor Made Whiteboards Make Family Organizing Easy-Giveaway

It’s a little hard for me to believe sometimes, but my boys aren’t babies anymore! My oldest is reading, playing sports and going to the library all by himself and my youngest is dressing himself, playing independently and only too eager to remind me that he’s “a big boy.” Going from caring for all my boys’ needs to realizing that they can handle more responsibility themselves has taken me a bit of time, but I’m getting there!

Finding ways to give my boys the responsibility that they craved has been one of my biggest challenges and so I decided to start simply by giving the boys some daily chores. And just as I was planning out that idea, Tailor Made Whiteboards contacted me and offered me the chance to review one of its gorgeous customized activity planners, chore boards or menu planners. Of course, I chose the Chore Board and I was especially excited that I was able to customize it with a picture of my two boys to make it extra special!

Function Can Be Fashionable with These Top Three Must-Have Baby Products

When I gave birth to my oldest child, I had no idea just how many different products a baby needed. From car seats and travelling gear to feeding and diapering essentials, the list seemed to get longer and longer as the weeks went by. Back in those early days of parenthood, my choices in products were more limited. But by the time my youngest son was born, that was no longer the case. The selection of essential products for new moms and babies had expanded and many of the choices were as fashionable as they were functional.

I never miss an opportunity to add a little extra style to my life and I’ve found a few baby essentials that provide both the convenience and functionality that’s a must for any mom with a trendy fashion sense, too! One of my personal favourites is the Mrs. Smith’s Elite Diaper Bag. This bag takes organization to a whole new level with padded pockets for a cell phone and sunglasses, inner pouches for Huggies Wipes and diapers and an insulated pull-out drawer to help keep bottles and snacks chilled. But best of all, the stylish faux croc bag looks classy with everything from jeans to a dress! [Read more...]
