Kids , Winter Coats N Cars

I was not aware it's dangerous to put kids in the carseat with their winter coats on. Makes sense since they are so puffy n huge. But then , my question to all the moms in the mid west. How do you manage when the temps are in the negative for days/ months together? Taking the coat off just to put in carseat seems like lot of work , when you have so many errands to run. But I do understand safety is more important. Do you always take off their coats while they are in their carseats? Thanks.

Thanks so much!

While it seems obvious to get her a longer size, my daughter is just long and I don't want her swimming in the thing. The 6-12 month coat is big on her, and it supposedly will 'grow.' The pants too can grow a bit. Typically I only...

Preparing for Kindergarten

My oldest daughter will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks and I'm in a flurry trying to get everything ready. Gathering school supplies, clothes, making after school care/child care arrangements, making sure I have all her records with the school. I started to think about it that we are doing everything within our power to make this new transition as easy for her as possible but no one is preparing me. :) I was looking at the Welcome to the School Letter that I received in the mail and almost burst into tears. I remember bringing...
