Just as Memorial Day seems to be the unofficial start to Summer, Labor Day seems to be the unofficial end. Of course, we know that for us in the Northern Hemisphere, Summer starts in June and Fall begins in September… but for some, Fall begins after Labor Day. I’ve never been able to figure out why. Maybe it’s because by that time, most of the country is back to school. Or, for the most part, cooler weather has started to arrive or is at least on the horizon. So how does on celebrate Labor Day and enjoy the extended weekend? I have a few ideas for a budget friendly Labor Day party that you might want to consider. As summertime nears an end, many people…

I have expressed my adoration and love for Pampers in the past. They were my preferred brand of diaper for Sweet B and they are my preferred brand of diaper for Squeaker. I tried to get into cloth diapers but I just couldn’t do it. I’ve tried other brands and  always find myself going back to Pampers. With Squeaker, we started with Swaddlers and then switched between Baby Dry and Cruisers. Currently, Squeaker is in Cruisers and they are the ideal diaper to keep up with her. They provide the best fit for her, they’re a great value, and they have adorable characters that she easily recognizes. They keep her dry overnight and comfortable. Whether she’s walking around in mommy’s sandals or dancing to music,…

If you want the full pack, you can get those by subscribing to my newsletter as they will be a subscriber freebie until the end of the year. I do plan on having additional subscriber freebies, but this one is the first. While these are intended to put in with lunches, you…
