Since I live in southern California I wear sunscreen all year around. Even Little Pumpkin Doodle knows that when she plays at day care to ask for sunscreen before she heads outside. Since summer is around the corner, I thought it was time to purchase new sunblock.

Our Little Herb Garden Update!
By · 1 Comment
I thought I would give you an update on our little herb garden. So far so good! I have to admit there have been a couple of days where Little Pumpkin Doodle and I, o.k. mostly me have forgotten to water our precious herbs, but we are kicking butt!

Flower Fields
By · 3 Comments
Yesterday we went the Carlsbad Flower Fields to visit the beautiful gardens featuring Ranunculus. I’m obviously not a photographer, so the photos don’t do the flower fields justice. Little Pumpkin Doodle was so happy, not only did she get to see the flowers, but we took a wagon tractor tour (tractors are LPD’s favorite all terrain vehicle) provided by the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum. For those of you that live in San Diego or plan on visiting, the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum is a lot of fun for the little ones! [Read more...]

Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I was treated to breakfast in the morning by Hubby and Little Pumpkin Doodle, then spent the afternoon at a gorgeous flower field over looking the ocean.
I’m not a big fan of commercialized holidays, but yesterday was a good reminder to be thankful, not only mothers, but for all the people in your life and your child’s life you look to for support.
So this is a big THANK YOU! to all my friends and family that help Hubby and I raise our Little Pumpkin Doodle. [Read more...]

10 Baby Products I Could Have Lived Without!

In my opinion, one of the best parts of being pregnant is nesting, for others it may be the baby shower. I’m not, and never have been a baby shower person. If truth be told, my husband had to convince me to show up to ours.
I once dragged my 3 year old niece with me to a shower. I was the only single one there, and I’d be damned if I was going to sit through the whole thing. I told the soon to be mom that my niece was tired, and needed her nap so I could get out of there.

Fashion “Friendly” Friday
By · Leave a Comment
Happy Friday! For those or those of you that have been reading, you know that I spent some time in Oregon and was thrilled by all the resale stores. If this is your first time stopping by, Fashion “Friendly” Fridays is where I’m trying to reduce, recycle and reuse my wardrobe to make it more green friendly.
Here’s what I found for Little Pumpkin Doodle during my stay.
The coral dress is Cherokee and is big for LPD, but should be perfect for next summer. It was $3.00 bucks in perfect condition.

Is Breastfeeding overrated?

You may not know, but it took me three and a half years to have Little Pumpkin Doodle. After the 1st trimester I thought, wow, I’m really going to have a baby! At that point, I put myself into full baby mode and started nesting. First on my agenda was to buy the baby something cute, second was to start looking for a pediatrician. I did what most women do, and started asking friends, women on the street and reading blogs for tips I should ask while interviewing doctors. I was fully armed and ready to go with my two page questionnaire. [Read more...]
