 I'm in love with the Sibu "Repair and Protect" facial cream.  I was fortunate to review a sample and I'm ready to let loose and buy their product line.  My skin issues go way back.  I'm Irish & Italian (50/50) but my skin is very fair, freckled and ruddy in color.  Although proud of my Iris...

By Lisa Pecos, Guest Blogger

Most new mothers who choose to breastfeed discover almost immediately that little instruction is required. The act of nursing is instinctive for both mother and baby, and even without outside help the process usually goes relatively smoothly. But even when things go relatively smoothly, it is common for problems to arise. If you are encountering breastfeeding...

It is one of every parent’s worse nightmares. You take your eye off your child for a minute only to find her gone when you turn around. Or one day he does not get home from school at the normal time.

Brooke Burke - The Naked Mom

I was fortunate to have read Brooke Burke's new book, "The Naked Mom:  A Modern Mom's Fearless Revelations, Savvy Advice, and Soulful Reflections" prior to it going on sale today.  It's a quick and witty read.  I would describe Brooke as "evolved" and "attentive."  I'll explain why in a minute.

When a baby smiles at you for the first time or says her first word, this can seem so momentous that you may feel like calling everyone you know to tell them the earth-shattering news. But beyond the emotional impac...

Ok, who is this crab of a baby and what did he do with my sweet Oscar?  The grumpies have attacked him – HARD!  Ugh, he doesn’t want to be put down, he doesn’t want to be picked up, he is a little fuss bucket and no fun!  Oh how we love the swing when we start getting baby attitude - the music and motion are like a little mute button for our bo...
