Spring thoughts . . .

With Spring quickly approaching I gave Sara and Roger a new suggestion, sun hats. While I rarely suggest specific products, I think most things are similar to their competitors and pretty much interchangeable based on style and personal preference, I have two products that I love. I've been using each since my first nanny position nearly ten years ago (May marks ten years).

I didn't mention the first here because I didn't think product pushing was beneficial. but as the sun gets closer and hotter I see the necessity to share my other favorite product and thought I may as well share both.

These bibs rock. They are machine washable, rinsable, dry quickly and last for years. Literally you could probably hand these babies down (nobody I've worked for has been willing to give them up, thus I've never seen them handed down).

And I love these hats. They are stylish, have ties that keep them on, a wide brim that shades the face as well as the neck and they dry quickly. These can definitely be handed down and last for years. We've taken them in the pool, the ocean, the stroller and just out for a walk.

Now, you may see other brands that resemble Bumkins and Flap Happy but aren't these specific brands - my advice? Run! Run far away! Jump on the internet and order these specific brands. They may be a little more expensive but trust me, no parent I've ever worked for has regretted it.

Sunny with a chance of extreme tantrums.

Not much to tell today. Babies are throwing a lot of temper-tantrums and because grandma is here they are getting quite a bit of positive feedback for it. Of course it's exhausting for me and makes each day so long. Roger and Sarah are encouraging them as well, I don't think it's on purpose but it's happening so much. Luckily grandma leaves in two days, then we'll have a few weeks break before the next grandma arrives. It's going to be a long couple of months! After that there's another grandma coming.

In the meantime . . .
