Baby Basics: Essential Baby Gear

May 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The more kids I have the more I realize just how little a baby truly needs in the way of gear.  I know that there are many people in this world who have so very little.  It almost makes me feel silly to write a post about what I consider to be essentials. Yet, we [...]

This afternoon my children and I worked in our garden.  We got most of the weeds under control and even got to start putting newspaper and straw down. This is our third year to use this method of weed control and I sometimes wonder how we ever got along without using the newspaper and straw. [...]
