Urgent Alert: Crib recall!
If you have a little one in a crib, please read this article!
Over 2 million cribs are being recalled due to safety hazards.
Freebies for your baby!
I have loved the resources that Babycenter has to offer with both of our little ones. As soon as we found out we were expecting, I have gone to the Babycenter site and used their due date calculator to try to figure out our possible due date. I love getting the weekly updates on where our kids are developmentally. We still get these emails on both of our kids - now 22 months and almost 9 months. It was fun to see how they were growing before they were born and it's fun now to see different ways that I can help them be learning at the stage they are in.
Babycenter also offers lots of articles and advice on all the different situations parents face. They also make available freebies and coupons to help with the expense of having little ones. It's definitely worth your time to head over and check them out!

"My baby is teething."
Say these words to anyone who has any experience with little ones and you are sure to hear words of sympathy. Just about everyone knows that the teething stage is such a hard one for our babies. It's so difficult to see them suffer. Both of our kiddos are normally very laid back and happy, but when those teeth are coming through, they turn into completely different children! They will cry for no reason at all, are very clingy and need Mommy and Daddy to hold them constantly, wake up screaming at night, and can't take their naps because their teeth are making them so uncomfortable! It's not a fun stage for anyone at our house when teeth are coming through.
Teething is something that can vary so much from child to child. Some babies are born with teeth, some get them very early, most start getting them between 3 and 9 months, and some don't get their teeth until later. With our babies, the first teeth pop through at about 9 months and then we see nothing for about another 6 months. Then it seems that ALL of their teeth start coming through at the same time to make up for lost time.
Needless to say, during those hard days, we love our Infant Tylenol, Infant Ibuprofen, and Orajel. I don't know how we would survive without them! The small amount of relief they give is such a help! That being said, I'm really loving that Orajel is offering a $1 off coupon on their products!
A great outlet website for kid's clothes!

Hmmm... what else do my kids need to complete their wardrobes this year?

Crafting Away Today: Thankful Tree for the Tiny Tots
Bubba and I put this tree together last night. I cut out the leaf shapes and wrote the words on them, drawing a simple picture of the things he is thankful for. He added the coloring (he loves coloring with the markers these days!).
I've been working with him lately, learning to say "thank you" for the things that he is given. We said "thank you" to Nana and Opa for his new bike. We say "thank you" to Mommy and Daddy when they give him the things he asks for. We say "thank you" to God for the many things He has given us!
When we made Bubba's Thankful Tree, I tried to help him think of the things that he could thank God for. I want to make it clear to Bubba at an early age that it is God who has given us all that we have. Bubba thought to thank God for his ball, our car, and his stuffed monkey. I added Daddy, our house, and the moon and the stars (he's really into pointing those out).
With his Thankful Tree hanging on the patio door, it's at a level that Bubba can see whenever he wants. That way, we can keep practicing saying "thank you" to God, who has given us so many good things!

Recipe of the Day: Apple bites for the kiddos!
Okay, so this isn't really a recipe but a super easy idea I came across for helping little ones eat their apples! Even if your kiddo is like our Bubba and has no trouble eating just about any kind of fruit, this could be a fun way to add some variety to the menu.
Cut your apple into bite-sized pieces. Add some cinnamon and sugar to a small ziploc bag and mix them together a bit. Throw in your apple pieces and zip the bag shut. Shake and mix your mixture so that the apple bites get well covered with the cinnamon and sugar (this is great because kids can do this for themselves!). Empty the apples onto a plate and enjoy!
I'd recommend a fork or toothpick to eat these - they could get pretty messy.
Muffin Tin Monday: Thanksgiving!
This week's Muffin Tin Monday theme is Thanksgiving!
So, here's what I'm thinking for Bubba's meal this week:
- Cinnamon Sugar Apple bites on toothpicks
- Bites of Cranberry Nut Bread
- Cranberry sauce
- Bites of Pumpkin bread
- Squares of cheese
- Turkey lunchmeat roll-ups

Recipe of the Day: How to Paint Cookies!
This is a project that is on our schedule to make with Bubba. I think he'll have so much fun painting the cookies and then getting to eat them!
I'm going to do the technique where the cookies are baked first and then painted with the corn syrup mixture (don't want to risk the little guy eating any raw egg yolks - yuck!).
You can make these cookies for any occassion! I'm thinking ahead to Bubba's 2nd birthday and think this might be a fun project to complete with the kiddos. They can paint their own cookie and then we'll wrap it up for them to take home and eat later.
I haven't been able to find a very good tutorial on these online. So, the plan is to try to take pics when we make them and post a tutorial myself! Be checking back for more over the next week or so.
Great Thanksgiving Craft for the Kids!
This is a really cute idea to make with your kiddos this Thanksgiving. If you have younger children who aren't able to write yet, you could use stickers to show what they are thankful for. You could also cut pictures from magazines to glue on the feathers.
This turkey would make a fun centerpiece or just set it anywhere visible for a great conversation piece!

Muffin Tin Monday: Things Bubba is Thankful For
The theme this week for Muffin Tin Monday is "foods we are thankful for". I thought that I would make a meal of the foods that Bubba loves and talk to him about how we need to be thankful for all the yummy foods. Maybe tomorrow, we'll incorporate some foods he doesn't like and I can tell him how we're supposed to be thankful for those, too.
Foods he likes:
- Hotdogs
- Bread
- Bananas
- Oranges
- PB&J
- Cheese
Foods he doesn't so much like:
- Hmmm... this is harder than I thought - apprently he's a pretty easy kid to feed!
- Broccoli
- Green Peppers
Check out the two giveaways at The Domestic Contessa this week:

The creators of the site are parents of triplets so they know the importance of finding good deals on diapers, formula, gear, clothes - everything you need for your baby! The site is updated daily and I'm excited to be one of its contributors! Check out my latest posting for a free Nursery Guide from Baby Dreams here!
Jenell and Kerri Mann have also written an ebook, the Free Baby Samples Official Guide, that is full of great ideas on saving money with little ones. The ebook contains an extensive list of companies to call for free baby stuff. I didn't realize how much companies will give away for free just because a parent calls them!
The ebook is normally $19.95 but is now on sale for $9.95!
After looking at the list of coupons and freebies to be had through this ebook, I would say you could easily make that money back and then some by following the guidelines in the ebook.

Walmart Diaper Deal!
I was at Walmart doing my grocery shopping yesterday and came across a great deal on their Parent's Choice diapers. This is the brand we use and we've really been happy with them with our kids. They fit pretty well, don't leak through as much, and are so much cheaper than the name brands!
At our Walmart, they have Jumbo boxes (144 size 3 and 116 ct. size 5) for just $11 a box! That breaks down to about $.08 to $.10 a diaper! The normal sized box (70 or so size 5s) is usually $14 so this is a great deal! I'm heading back today to grab another box of each size to stock up.
