When I think of purchasing items for baby, the first thing that always comes to my mind is "How much is this going to cost me?" Not too long ago, I read about a family who hired a certified baby planner (Did you even know there is such a thing? I didn't!), and because they trusted this person, they ended up spending a lot of money on products and furniture that was useless because it was their first baby and they had no idea what they would need or not need! Not only did they buy a lot of useless…

I hate having to do surgery on my kids! | #parenting
In the past two weeks, I've had two things fall on the floor and break. One was a bottle of vanilla (full bottle, too!) that was made of amber glass, and the other one was a coffee mug that Andy gave me from when the Super Bowl was in Houston. That one, Jett picked up and threw across the living room. With the vanilla bottle, I thought I cleaned up with really well. Not once, but TWICE, we found Jett with larger shards of glass from that bottle in house mouth. Yesterday, when Jett broke my coffee mug, I pieced…
