Back To School – Leave the Draw-String Jackets at Home

A new school year has started. My boys will be attending full-time preschool this year. They went to an 8-week summer school program and loved it, so we are all very excited! I found another article on draw-string jackets/shirts and their relation to playground accidents. The last article I posted caught [...]

Two Additional Infant Deaths Prompt Re-announcement of Simplicity “Close-Sleeper/Bedside Sleeper” Bassinets

I never had a bedside bassinet. I always used the pack-n-play for my two boys. I found this article on Safe Kids USA. They send out a monthly email on product recalls. You can sign up at their website. Of course not all recalls are due to deaths, but I [...]

‘Product-Related’ Injuries

I have to be honest.  I purchased my two boys a bunk bed set about 5 months ago.  My eldest is 4 years old, turning 5 this October, and sleeps in the top bunk.  My youngest is 3 1/2 and sleeps on the lower, twin size bed.  We always have to place large stuffed animals [...]

Designated ‘Water Watcher’

For me, one of the most scary situations I can be placed in is being around water with my two little ones.  I don’t know why, but ever since they were born, I have always been on pins and needles while around pools, spas, lakes, rivers and the ocean.  I do not understand parents that [...]

Spring time…I love it

A few days ago while at our computer, my husband told the kids, “Hey look!  There is a hummingbird flying in and out of our tree!”  As the days went by, I noticed that the same hummingbird would frequent that tree outside of our window and I thought maybe there was a nest!  I was so excited as we [...]

Does your child’s clothing include neck or waist drawstings? If so, you should read this post.

I am always amazed at the parents or guardians at the park reading a book, talking on their cell phones or just plain not watching their child play.  In fact one day at the park I frequent with my two young boys (now 4 and 3), I witnessed not 1, not 2 but 3 falls [...]
