I was inside an inflatable house and didn't know if I could make it up the climbing wall with a bunch of kids bouncing around me, but it's not because I was too lil, it's because I was too big. But my two kids were relying on me, so I pulled myself up and dragged them along until we reached the top and flew down the slide. It's funny — you spend your formative years at the playground and then take a very long hiatus before motherhood plops you right back in the sandbox. To see what happens, read more
If running is your modus operandi, the BOB Revolution may be right up your jogging path. Although the price is a bit steep, it is comparable to those in the same category.
For $390, I can hardly find a better jogging deal than the BOB Revolution. There are so many things to love about it.

Additionally, the front swivel wheel provides easy maneuvering, which is a huge plus when you're navigating a jogging trail that twists and turns. If you are on a straight path and prefer a locked wheel, just snap a latch down to keep the wheel locked forward facing.

Flying high with more than you can handle? As a mom, I think the best seats on the plane are in the back row. Even before I had children, I like being in the last row because you don't get the sense of being sandwiched between a bunch of other passengers. And, once I had tots, it seemed like the most obvious choice as trips to change diapers or use the restroom inconvenience the least amount of people. Additionally, many fliers don't care to sit in those chairs so there's often extra space. To see what happened on a recent trip, read more
Their husbands may be on the Democratic road to the White House, but Michelle Obama and Jill Biden aren't immune to mom guilt. The two spoke candidly about their hopes for working moms and their own experiences in balancing careers and family life. From paid family leave to more flexible working hours, are there things you wish the United States government would provide to make juggling it all a bit easier?
Sugar mamas have once again proved to be a wealth of information! A while back, I asked you to suggest some songs for my delivery room experience. So far, I've got the following:

"Blackbird" by the Beatles
"Lullabye" by the Dixie Chicks
"Little Star" by Madonna
"Another Sunny Day" and "If She Wants Me" by Belle and Sebastian
Keep sending me the love with song recommendations in comments below. Next week, I'll compile a full list for all of you to share. Source
The 60th Annual Emmy Awards show took many celebmamas off the radar as they fancied themselves up for a glamorous night on the town. But low and behold, there were some celebaby sightings over the weekend. Kingston rocked his short shorts for the last days of his LA Summer while Suri Cruise shined up the Big Apple. Check out who else was out and about this weekend in my celebaby roundup slideshow!
