My Toddler Started Preschool

preschool

His teacher was really nice and just adored Dylan so it seemed like a perfect fit. Unfortunately, because he had never been in daycare he was constantly sick. The first week he contracted strep throat, then hand, foot, & mouth, then a cold and flu. All in all, we spent over...

This is the camera I use for most of my pictures on MomVault (some pictures are taken with my iPhone when I accidentally forget my camera at home). I have had this camera since Fall 2009 and it has been so good to me. I chose the color red because it is easy...

IMHO: Laundry Detergent

LaundryDetergent

Today's IMHO: We all use laundry detergent and usually buy those big side laying with spout containers. What you might not know is just how full you are supposed to fill that handy little cup that comes with it.
