My other posts from this series:
Furnishing a Nursery
Choosing a Stroller and a Car Seat
Choosing a Jogging Stroller
In this post I am going to focus on other baby gear that I personally found important to have and why. If you’re about to have a baby shower for your first child, walking through the baby store’s isles [...]

Before I even start talking about choosing a jogging stroller, here are some questions I think you should ask yourself:

How often are you planning to use the stroller? Once or more per week, once a month, when the opportunity comes up? This could decide the quality of the stroller you want, besides just the features. [...]

In my earlier post I talked about saving money on furnishing and decorating the nursery. In this post I’ll be talking about picking the right stroller.
In my opinion, an every day stroller is not a thing to buy at the garage sale. Since it has a few nuts and bolts, moving parts, folding mechanism, you [...]

Baby news can put anyone over the edge considering the upcoming medical bills, acquiring all the baby gear, nursery furnishings, clothing. All this is besides the upcoming every day expenses, like diapers, formula, health insurance, etc.
I am a minimalista and in less than three weeks we are expecting our second child, this time it’s a [...]

Today my 2-year old daughter gave me about 1 hour of extra work that I didn’t ask for! It all started with me changing an old litter box to a new automatic litter box.
As I was pouring the litter into the new litter box, I realized I didn’t have enough. So I dug into the [...]

I probably am one of the worst home organizers you will ever meet. Why? Before I met my husband, I didn’t have much stuff, didn’t care for having lots of it, and I seemed to always have enough space for what I had. So home organization was one of the last things that ever popped [...]

Leaving my 2-year old at the daycare this morning, left a very bad taste in my mouth. Since I am almost 37 weeks pregnant and having a harder time keeping up with my daughter’s social and everyday activities, we decided to put her in the daycare for couple of days a week. It should give [...]

With the 2-yr old and the second one on the way, I decided to look for a double stroller. I wanted a side-by-side type, with jogging/running capability, good size canopy for sun protection and compact enough to fit through a door. By looking through a ton of strollers online at the Babies-R-Us store, I decided [...]

If you are reading this post, you are probably desperate.  First off, congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope my story will help you save money on your maternity bills if you don’t have maternity coverage.
In April 2007 I found myself pregnant.  I called my insurance first to find out if they covered pregnancy.  The answer [...]

Being a stay-at-home parent can get monotonous and downright depressing. What else does one have to look forward to every day besides taking care of kids, cleaning, cooking, laundry? And what about the kids? They need interaction as much as adults do, if not more.
Working full time for many stay-at-home parents just doesn’t make sense. [...]
