Great to meet you. We love to vacation in Minnesota -- during the summer.
One of my favorite things about Minneapolis in the winter, though, are the upper story walkways from building to building downtown. It's nice to be able to walk from my hot...

JumpStart World Software Review and Giveaway
Midwest Moms is hosting it's first GIVEAWAY!
My site is not a review site or a giveaway site... I only will talk about a product that I truly believe in. JumpStart learning software really fits the bill.
Last month, I agreed to beta-test the JumpStart World website and PC software. What I found was that it ended the tug-of-war between my desire for my children to use the computer for learning and their desire to use it just for fun.
Come on… Continue

Infant Car Seat Review -- Are They Safe?
I just read a recent investigative report by the Chicago Tribune about Infant Safety Seats. It was disturbing to me as a parent, so I thought I would pass it along here at TwitterMoms and also at my own blog.
The Tribune is reporting that in independent testing there is a problem with infant seats coming completely off of their bases. Until the Tribune published their report, no data on such tests ha… Continue

Fit Mommy Friday: Posture Check
I used to think that slumped shoulders were just a part of Motherhood.
After all, I had a baby carrier to haul and a full diaper bag to schlep, groceries to carry, toddler hands to hold, and of course TLC to give. All the jobs of motherhood seemed to be turning my back into mush and hunching my shoulders forward.
Until I started paying attention to my posture.

Fit Mommy Friday: Pint Size Personal Trainers
Today is Fit Mommy Friday over at Midwest Moms.
This week's fit tip for everyday exercise is Get a Pint-Size Personal Trainer.
This week, we played "The Fitness Game" and had a blast keeping healthy -- even indoors, even in the middle of Winter.
It is satisfying to feel that we can stay fit and raise healthy kids at the same time. What's better

- Thank you I will! I just wish they had something like this when my kids were young-20 years ago it was frowned upon to be a stay at home mom--I just wish I hadn't spent all that time second guessing my decision-- I know that all of the material sacrifices were worth their weight in gold--my almost grown children are a testament to that

- Hi,
thanks for your reply to my discussion about finding a doctor. Would it be okay if I used it in the book I am putting together about parenting newborns. I have been including comments from 'real moms' as I find they sometimes have the most useful information. The book is the second in The Triumphant Child series - you may have seen our red ad down the right side of Twitter moms. If it is okay, may I use your first name please to put in the book? Let me know.
