A baby blog is simply an online journal of the adventures you have with your baby and family. It typically includes stories, photos and many times videos...

Buy an extra set of pillowcases and use it as baby’s laundry bag. Time for the wash? Throw all in the washer including the pillowcase, plus it will match the bedding colors.

Catch that little walker. Is she learning to walk, but you’re afraid she will slip and fall? Buy cute socks and use puffy paint on the soles.

Newborn needs mitts to keep from scratching. Use older siblings socks—clean of course.

Carry two small office clips in your bag or one sheet strap. When going out to eat, use the clips to put restaurant napkins around baby’s neck. No need to bring bibs anymore!

Instant baby leg warmers—cut the foot off your old holey socks and zig zag stitch around the cut edge.

Feeling buggy? Use Dr Bronners Peppermint wash as a spray to get rid of ants in the kitchen. It will give you a fresh smelling kitchen.

Teething Baby? Wet a wash cloth, tie a few knots in it and freeze it.

Use heavy duty clear plastic under the high chair for easy clean up. Good for under the car seat too, in case of juice spills.

Traveling and forgot the baby bassinet? Use a laundry basket or a dog bed—a clean one of course.

Baby toys—rolled up sock ball; plastic lids (poke a small hole in it and tread a ribbon to chain lids together); empty juice boxes to stack.

Little helper—Put his sippy cup collection, plastic containers, wooden spoons, and other safe kitchen things. He will keep busy while you cook.
