It’s his camo paint! (aka a Sharpie) | Wordless Wednesday #ww
I was looking through Myspace for some of my old photos when I ran across this one. It was taken almost seven years ago! This is Braxton. One of the comments on this photo on MS is from my aunt, and it says "It's his camo paint, geeeez! lol" Funny thing is, this totally looks like Jett, except he would never have a pacifier in his mouth, and he hasn't yet gotten into the markers like this. Luckily, it wasn't on anything else. Just him.

It's no secret that we use amber teething necklaces with our little ones. No, that doesn't mean that Jett is cutting teeth, right now, by chewing on a necklace. He's simply wearing a very cool and hip amber necklace. What you may not know is that I also wear amber necklaces, but I wear them to help control headaches and earaches. Not to mention, necklaces by Spark of Amber are beautiful and reasonably priced! As I've written before, Amber is a great, natural way to relieve pain.

Moby GO Baby Carrier Review | #babywearing #attachmentparenting #ap
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of attachment parenting? To me, it's become a way of life, but before that happened, the first thing that would pop into my mind would be a mom or dad wearing their baby in a carrier. Babywearing is an age old tradition among mothers who want to keep their babies close as well as be hands free. Several of my friends have floorboards or trunks full of several different types of baby carriers - one for every occasion. Until we cleaned out the van and replaced all of…
