There was some concern about my due date because I measured small at my last appointment. By my cycles (which are extremely regular), I was 18 weeks along, but my uterus measured 14 weeks. I was a little bit worried that something might be wrong with the baby's growth, or that my due date was going to get pushed up another month. I do tend to measure small with pregnancy, but never as much as 4 weeks. So an ultrasound was ordered and we got the results yesterday. I really am 18 weeks Continue Reading
Kawaii One-Size Diaper Cover Review
Posted updated December 2014 with more pictures and feedback. Two years ago, I reviewed the Kawaii one-size diaper cover with hook and loop closure.

But while the spirit may be willing, many parents feel defeated from the get-go. I've heard this a lot over the years: 'I'd love to homeschool, but..." (insert reason Continue Reading
Parts of Speech & Popsicle Sticks: A Fun School Game!
If you have grade schoolers who are learning the parts of speech, here's a fun and easy way to reinforce the lesson that I spotted on Pinterest: Using a permanent marker, write about 10 nouns, 10 adjectives and 10 verbs on the ends of recycled or purchased popsicle sticks. Label three paper cups as follows: Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs. Hold the sticks in your hand and have your child (or children) pick one, read it aloud and place it in the right cup. Variations for older learners: Have them Continue Reading
