Reborn Dolls: Has Playing With Dolls Gone Too Far?Posted by Lorren on January 3, 2009
20/20 recently had a piece on Reborn Baby dolls. Reborn dolls were created to look lifelike, and they are absolutely gorgeous. There are several artists that create them, using mohair for their hair, and several layers of paint to create a newborn baby look. A Reborn doll isn’t your typical baby doll. [...]
Homeschooling Infants: Signing Time is Paying Off!Posted by Lorren on May 20, 2008
Most homeschoolers realize that children don’t just learn between the hours of 8 and 3. Kids learn all day long. My daughter learns about history and geography at bedtime when I read to her from Little House On The Prairie. She might learn math at the grocery store. While we have [...]
How My Babies Got Their NamesPosted by Lorren on April 2, 2008
And now, for something completely unrelated… a post about how my babies got their names (it’s for a contest where you can win a $50 Amazon.com gift card).

Newborns in Trash Cans And Toilets… Why Are We Outraged?Posted by Lorren on August 31, 2007
I just read another story about a baby giving birth to a newborn and trying to kill it. This lady tried to flush her baby down the toilet at a McDonald’s restaurant.
You can find the story here.
I find stories like this to be really sad. If she didn’t want the baby, why didn’t [...]
Really SadPosted by Lorren on July 6, 2007
I was snooping around the Gerber web site, trying to find out where their products are made, and I came across some really depressing statistics:
Soda is being served to infants as young as 7 months.
Nearly 25% of children ages 19-24 months don’t eat a single fruit or vegetable in a day
