We cloth diaper and I was almost going to cancel our service because of a TERRIBLE butt rash on my 4 wk old DS. Then I figured out it was the Costco Kirkland wipes!! I figured it out because I took to rinsing his bottom with plain water...

Here is what I sent in... I have strong opinions favoring homebirth for low-risk women. I am a physician, a board certified ophthalmologist and I had a traditional hospital birth with an OB/GYN with my first birth. I had some...

My DH and I rescued and fostered 8 puppies this Fall and it was not as easy as you might think to find good homes for dogs. We lucked out that one of our adopters was located through the vets office where we took them all to have...

I am planning a homebirth with a licensed midwife. I had the usual mid-pregnancy U/S at my MW office to check for baby's general condition and for placental issues. I had no issues whatsoever with my prior pregnancy so I was just doing...
