Dirty Teddy Bears!

My now 2-yr. old received her fair share of teddy bears over the last 2 years - most of them are WHITE! Adorable, but what were they thinking?! Can anyone share their experiences/success stories with just throwing them in the washer? This is dirt that cannot be dabbed off :) Thanks!!

Has Anyone Used a Child Harness "Leash"?

I have an active 2 yr old daughter who doesn't like to be in her stroller when we go to Thanksgiving Point, the zoo, etc. . I have seen those child "leashes" around but I don't know anything about them. Some look like a harness and some that look like a backpack. Has anyone ever used anything like this? Does it actually work? Is it worth getting? Before I was a parent, I always told myself that I would never get one but now that I'm chasing my daughter around, I'm starting to feel differently...Thanks!

Ways to Store Large Baby Items

Ok Moms. I am a very organized person, so maybe I am overthinking this. But I wanted to know if you have any good ideas on how to store the big baby items (swing, car seat, bouncy seats, exersaucer, etc) so they don't get dirty, dusty and ruined by the time you want to use them for the next baby a few years down the road. Unfortunatly I don't have a lot of storage in the house, so they will be stored in the garage. Please let me know what has worked for you. Thanks.

Seeking Sitter for LARGE Breed Dogs- Mastiffs in Holland/ Zeeland Area.

Having a terrible time finding sitter for family vacation. (I have checked the sitter city site to no avail) Would like to have someone come to the house to feed, let out dogs while away, however, dog size seems to be an issue. Dogs are over 200lbs each, as they are English Mastiffs. Don't let the size fool you they are teddy bears, they are my 2 year old's best friends. I don't want leave them at the vets, as our vets boarding kennels are better suited for small breeds. Anyone with advise- PLEASE let me know.

Help We Need Sleep!!!!

I have a 23 month old son who's never been a great sleeper but not too horrible either. however for the last 3 weeks he's been waking up EVERY hour. he doesn't cry or fuss he just walks to our room to get us then walks back to his room and climbs in bed to be tucked in and falls asleep again. we can't figure out why he's waking up, he goes to sleep easily and there haven't been any changes to our routine or life so far. i'm 7 months pregnant though and i can't keep waking up like this! if anyone has any ideas on what to do i'd really like...
