Tommy Hilfiger Creates Adaptive Clothes for Kids with Disabilities

Posted on by

Tommy Hilfiger makes clothing that is fashionable and still retains a classic look. It’s the clothing that the “cool kids” (or “cool adults”) wear. A new line of Tommy Hilfiger adaptive clothing means that kids who have disabilities can look just as cool as their classmates do. The Tommy Hilfiger blog has a brief explanation of why the company created an adaptive clothing line. “Because every kid deserves a great pair of jeans”, it says. The same blog post points out that there are 73 million children in the United States of America, and that one in twenty live with … Continue reading →

Fewer Babies? Blame It on the Economy

Would you let the economy dictate how many children you have, or if you have children at all? For many couples, the poor state of the economy has forced them into remaining childless, even through they have always dreamed of having children, they say. If you’ve noticed fewer babies and young children at the park lately, you aren’t imagining things.

My Blessing in Disguise

Tomorrow would have marked my 4th anniversary with my ex-husband. It’s hard to remember what life was even like back then, it seems a lifetime ago. I remember feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was making the biggest mistake of my life as I walked down the aisle. My head knew things weren’t going to work, but my heart was too stubborn to listen and convinced me to go through with it. I so desperately wanted a “happily ever after family.” I wanted my son to grow up with both of his parents living under the same … Continue reading →

Ways to Save on a Dream Cruise

It’s a myth that the only way you can save on a cruise is to wait until the last-minute to book and take whatever itinerary you can get.  In fact, there are several ways you can afford to escape on a dream voyage without compromising your standards.  After all, cruise lines stand to gain more when they offer discounted cabins rather than set sail with a bunch of empty staterooms.  Even if a cruise line has to lower its rates to entice travelers, it’s still making a profit from passengers purchasing photographs, souvenirs, drinks, spa packages, and other services. The … Continue reading →

Giving Up Your Dreams

The thing that still makes me the saddest is knowing that I no one else feels like I do about my daughter. There is no one to share the joys of her … Continue reading →

Ever Dreamed of a Personal Shopper for Your Baby?

Posted on by

So, I love to scrapbook and used to subscribe to a monthly scrapbook kit each month that was delivered right to my door. I remember the excitement of getting that box and opening it and seeing all my new goodies. Well, another company has started a similar concept for children. They are called Citrus Lane. Rather than hunting for the latest and coolest new baby products, they do it for you, put them together in kits and deliver them right to your door. I love this idea! The cost is only $25 (and free shipping) and you get anywhere from … Continue reading →

Making Your Dreams Into Reality

As children we are told to dream big. The equal rights movement showed us that as women, we could do anything we put our minds to. Women like Florence Nightengale, Clara Barton, Amelia Earhart, and Sandra Day O’Connor have paved the way and given us hope to reach those dreams. As we become mothers, those dreams are often put on hold to care for our children. As single mothers, those dreams may seem almost unattainable, as you are working to support your children on your own. At the end of the day you are far too exhausted to think about … Continue reading →
