TWEENS
As a parent of a tween, almost teen, I realize that I am not as young as I may feel. Everything my child does, says or wants is completely foreign to me. In my younger days I was always rebelling against the system, but I’m starting to believe that I may now be “The... »

Product Review: California Baby Aromatherapy Bubble Bath
Okay, I admit it. I’m a complete sucker for anything that says organic or natural. And since I had my son a year ago, I’ve been through just about every product available to make bath time more like playtime — I’ve tried just about everything age appropriate. So when my son turned 1, I... »
