Bubble Fun for the Youngest Kids

Who doesn't like bubbles? I love them and my little one does as well. We had tried a bunch of different bubble makers before and these are the winners. I actually think blowing bubbles thought him how to blow well so he was able to blow out the candles on his second birthday cake without a problem.

The squeeze'n'bubble is our new favorite as it is not messy. We were at the beach making bubbles for half an hour this week. You don't even have to blow if there's wind. You just squeeze the bottle and the wind handles the rest for you.

Reader Request: Parenting Books for Pregnancy and Newborn

Question: Hi! I'm four months pregnant and want to start reading baby books. Can you recommend any books for before and after my baby arrives?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope you'll find this time of your life as amazing and rewarding as I did. After reading some thirty plus baby books, I decided for myself to keep a library of reference books I liked and give away the rest. So although I'm not an expert or a doctor, I can recommend what I bothered to keep and use often for reference.

  • EARLY TODDLERHOOD: Still in search of a good book after reading a few. I didn't like the ones I read including happiest toddler. I'm hopeful of Playful Parenting that I'm reading right now.


In addition, I signed up for mailing lists of whattoexpect.com and babycenter.com. These two sites are great resources both before and after your baby arrives.
