Sibu Repair and Protect Skin products

 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.

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. 

First, I wanted to share that I&nb...

Laugh and Learn About Childbirth, author Sheri Bayles, RN, BSN

Review by pregnancy blogger, Jenny Ford, owner of Monkey-Toes.com:

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and it’s been almost 8 years since my youngest Ella was born.  You could say I’m a little out of practice with whole child birthing thing – and I am back to being slightly freaked out about it as if it were my very first time.  My husband and I decided not to take any childbirth classes...

I couldn't believe it! I was so sure it would be a boy since my husband comes from all boys. It just seemed like that's how it would be. Anyway...e...
