I fell in love with Pinterest!

One of the things that I really enjoy doing is researching stuff on the Internet. I research EVERYTHING! Organizing tips, how to make your own . . . whatever, kid stuff and recipes--lots of recipes. Oh, my word! Have I found THE best solution to keeping all of that at my fingertips.

I had heard a little bit about Pinterest. I wasn't sure what it was all about. I kept seeing my Facebook friends updating about all these recipes that they found or "pinned" on Pinterest. So, of course, I did a little research on it. It's fantastic and I am hooked! Everything that you love right at your fingertips. You can pin things onto your boards that other people of pinned. So, let's say you have a board titled "Recipes." You can pin recipes that others pin or recipes that you find off the Internet. Now I just have to refer to one place for all of those things. Brilliant!

So, if you're interested, follow me on Pinterest. Just click the link in my sidebar. Go ahead and sign up for Pinterest and start pinning. I bet you can't just pin one!

Bright Starts giveaway: Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster

I am totally psyched about the idea of possibly winning this for the Jack-ster!!! He would be psyched too if he could figure out what was going on. I can say anything with a happy tone and face and he just laughs it up! It looks so awesome and I am sure that Jack will love playing with it. I will LOVE it if we win this . . . anything is more enjoyable if it's free! Right??

How did I discover this giveaway? I always "Like" certain pages on Facebook and Bright Starts is one of them. I discovered a blog called MomSpotted. It told all about the giveaway, which you can read more about here.

We have many Bright Starts toys and we love them all! Jack really enjoys playing with his Hop Along Carrier Toybar. It is certainly at the top of our list of favorites. We hope to say the same thing if/when we win the Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster. LOL! You can see/buy more Bright Starts toys and such here. We know you'll love them as much as we do.

Thoughts on Teething

Wow. Where do I begin? Since Jack is my first child, I really don't have that much experience with teething babies. However, I do have one word to describe teething: horrible. It's horrible for me and Jack. I feel so awful for him. I can't seem to find anything that will help comfort him. Thankfully, his pediatrician did say that we could give him Children's Tylenol (grape flavored!) twice a day. I only give it to him when I think he really needs it (which is usually every day right now).

We have tried several different methods of relief for Jack. I have already mentioned the Tylenol. I've tried putting wet wash cloths in the freezer for a few minutes. Jack didn't like that. I've tried teething rings. Jack's mouth is too small. He has chewed on anything and everything that he can get his hands on. He chews on his blankets, his burp cloths, his toys, his stuffed animals and even our fingers.

Today we received our Raz-Berry teething pacifiers from Raz Baby in the mail! I couldn't wait to get them out of the package and cleaned up so that I could give them to Jack. They are a big hit! They are made completely of 100% silicone (BPA free). He chews every inch of them. I strongly recommend them for your baby's teething needs. Let's hope that they will continue to be a teething comfort for Jack.
