Hey moms.... I just had my newborn's and 2 yr old's pictures taken by a local photographer and I just wanted to share her with you because her pictures are beautiful!!!

You have got to check out www.apriltoddphotography.com She is absolutely wonderful and I couldnt be happier with the pictures. She lives here in Bluffton and knows a lot of great places to do photo shoots. Her website shows she does maternity pics, family pics, children of all ages, and more!

My kid is only 4 weeks old and his mom and I think he may have acid reflux. He sometimes gets fussy at feeding time and spits up almost after every meal and during the middle of the night in his bed. We've heard a little bit about acid reflux in babies, but need some more info.

How do you cure (or subdue) it?

Thanks for feedback!

Given the last ten years of violence by school-age kids (at their own schools), and by this week's activity at Chesterfield High School here in SC, where a student was caught planning to bomb the school....let me pose this question:

How do you raise a kid today?

I'm 30. I definitely didn't have to worry about one of MY former classmates blowing up our school or going on a shooting spree in 3rd period Math class. So, obviously, times and the world have changed a bit. Do parenting strategies change with it?

Let me know your thoughts.

If you've never been, it's really a small-town street fest.
Very laid back!
Weather will be great.

My baby's a week-and-a-half old and his burp cloths already look like they've been left in the middle of Hwy 278 for a month.
Two Questions:
1. How do you get formula stains out of baby clothes?
2. How do formula companies get away with NOT making their product "Stain Proof?" That seems like the million-dollar business idea, right?

Thanks!

I just read my first post and realized that it is pretty negative...sorry about that, but I wanted to spare you from wasting a beautiful day looking at dirty animals. A little more positive idea is the Jacksonville Zoo. This Zoo is wonderful! We have gone twice in the last year & loved it both times. More importantly Z loves it. There is a choo-choo train that circles the zoo, so you can get a lay of the land, not to mention--what pre-schooler wouldn't love a ride on a choo-choo train?
