When you've got a little one at home in diapers, you seem to go through an unlimited supply of baby wipes every week. I know there are some people out there that make their own baby wipes with old towels, rags or socks...and I'm sure you could use those with this...
We started using baby sign language with Mackenzie when she was about 6 months old and I think it was one of the best ideas we ever had. Not only could she understand us very early on, but she started signing back to us when she was about 12 months old...and to be...
This weekend, we decided to take a little family outing. The weather is quickly progressing towards fall here and it was a bit chilly out, plus it's been raining off and on for about a week now. But thankfully we managed to make it through the entire Frankfurt Zoo...
Hi puppy friends! Hope you had a fabulous Fourth of July weekend (if you're in the US) and a lovely regular, plain old weekend if you're living elsewhere like me. Actually, we're having a pretty exciting week because we are at Oma & Opa's house and there are a...

I'm almost ashamed to share the next few photos with you, but I have to admit that after our very long winter and a muddy spring, Mackenzie's jogging stroller was starting to look pretty bad. We probably are a lot tougher on our stroller than a lot of people, because...
Since warmer weather has finally swooped down on us, we've been spending a lot more time outside. Mackenzie just loves dragging the broom around with her, but it's a bit big for her to really have fun with. She already has some hand tools like a little hand rake and...
Hello friends!! Wow, have I got some exciting stuff to share with you today! Last week, we took a little vacation and even though it's pretty warm at home...where we went there was SNOW! And lots of it. I could hardly even believe my eyes. And we didn't even have to...
