A toddlers blog

The paparazzi often catches model mom, Heidi Klum, playing with her children — Leni, 4, Henry, 2, and Johan, 1, but there’s a lot more to motherhood than what is captured in photographs. We had a chance to chat with the haute mama who had a few things to say about the experience.

Located about 30 miles north of Philadelphia, the park features more than 30 attractions, including a dozen water rides, three live shows (including a live production of Elmo’s World), daily parades and visits from the entire Sesame crew.

I was cruising around the blogosphere looking for some unique gifts and clothing for kids and I came across this sweet blog, http://www.babyfashiongifts.blogs.com  during my search. I instantly liked it because it had a very relaxed friendly feel to it. The most recent post was about baby political tees which is an idea that I always liked. I know some will say that kids and politics should never mix but I say who cares! There is nothing wrong with a baby or young child wearing a political tee as long as it’s not tacky, or offensive which is something you’d assume a parent would not have to be warned about to begin with. I plan on ordering some soon for my soon for my friend who has a 6 month old boy.

The site has a simple yet attractive design, very easy to read and follow, and what I liked most were the photos , content, and links to interesting blogs and products. I highly recommend it if your looking for great mom related reading. View these adorable baby tees at polkadotwhale.com

When Keri McCartney was 6-months pregnant, doctors discovered a large tumor growing from her unborn baby’s tailbone. Though the growth was non-cancerous, it was full of blood vessels and as big as the fetus itself, presenting a deadly threat.

In February, doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston removed the fetus from McCartney’s uterus, took out the tumor and then returned the fetus. Ten weeks later, on May 3, Macie Hope McCartney was born again. Read The Full Story

Maddox Jolie Pitt is probably one of the coolest celebrity tot in the world :). Ever since he graced us with his presence and his famous mohawk haircut. Here he is with Daddy Brad in tow wearing his black tee, cami shorts, sunglasses and of course, the mohawk. Cool huh?

A very small percentage of women will suffer from an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is defined as: development of a fertilized egg elsewhere than in the uterus (as in a fallopian tube or the peritoneal cavity)

According to WebMD,

There is no way to save an ectopic pregnancy. It cannot turn into a normal pregnancy. If the egg keeps growing in the fallopian tube, it can damage or burst the tube and cause heavy bleeding that could be deadly. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, you will need quick treatment to end it before it causes dangerous problems. 

In a very rare case, doctors missed the opportunity to diagnose Meera Thangarajah with such a pregnancy. After enduring an ovarian pregnancy, the happy family welcomed a daughter into their family. The couple named their baby girl Durga, which means Goddess.

Planning family vacations can be difficult enough, but when you’re planning family vacations with toddlers, who need routine and familiarity, finding hotel rooms with amenities you need and knowing what to pack (and what not to pack) can be big challenges. These tips for planning family vacations with toddlers should help you choose hotel rooms where you will feel as at-home as possible and pack the equipment your toddler needs for a family vacation that’s fun, not frustrating.

Choose Family-Friendly Hotel Rooms

Chill with a refrigerator. While you certainly can survive without them, a refrigerator, microwave and extra sink in your hotel room can make family vacations with toddlers easier. Refrigerators keep milk (or juice or string cheese) chilled. Microwaves warm up toddler veggies or leftover slices of the pizza you ate in your room the night before because your toddler’s bedtime precluded dinner in a restaurant. And an extra sink outside the bathroom gives you a place without a toilet view to wash sippy cups. (Tip: Pack a travel-sized bottle of dishwashing detergent.)

Book a suite. When planning family vacations with toddlers, look for hotels with “Suites” in the name. While an actual suite with doors that separate two or more rooms is ideal, “mini-suites,” which is what I call hotel rooms that offer a little more space than standard rooms as well as some kind of divider, work too. The idea is to have a space where your toddler can sleep undisturbed so the whole family doesn’t have to make 8 p.m. their bedtime. When planning family vacations with toddlers in tow, you can often find mini-suites at rates not much higher than what you’d pay for regular rooms. (Tip: Pack a few electrical outlet covers and a cabinet lock or two for use in your room.)
