As a young mom, I had no clue how to do the necessary things for my baby. I had decided that I was going to breastfeed, because it was "best" for my baby. My mother attempted to nurse me, but she said it didn't "work" for her. (In other words it was difficult, she was a first time mom, and breasfeeding without a lactation consultant frustrated her.) So I had no one to consult on how to do what I needed to do. I knew that breast was best, but why? Now I am a web officiando, so almost everything I don't understand I google. It would have been awesome to have had a website like this in 2005 when I had my first baby. http://www.infantnutrtioncenter.com/ would have been a godsend. Having a trusted medical resource when searching for infant feeding information is a good thing. The video and the articles are excellent and informative. View the webcast launch here. I am looking forward to seeing what new things they will post in the future. If the infant nutrition video is any indication, this site will become a bookmarked staple.

No one ever tells you that Babys can bring Hemorrhoids..... Tucks Blog Tour
Prior to becoming a mommy, and my subsequent bouts with hemorrhoids I could never truly appreciate products like Tucks take along wipes. Now that I am on my third pregnancy and the hemorrhoid from my first pregnancy (it's name is Fred) has reappeared, I can truly say that the tucks medicated pads are the best thing that could happen to a girl going through that particular issue. The medicated tucks pads towelettes help keep me fresh when I am on the go and the container can be easily placed in my purse. They are soothing, and one thing a pregnant woman needs is the ability to be comfortable when a hemorrhoid has flared up.
Hemorrhoids are an unfortunate fact of life, but the beauty of it all is that Tucks has a line of products that will help with your comfort needs. Please visit http://www.tucksbrand.com/ for more information.

Mamapedia (blogtour)
How often have you found yourself rushing to the computer for advice on what to do with your baby? I know I have done it often. There are thousands of sites out there with lots of information. Some useful, some not. Mamapedia is like yahoo answers, google, and babycenter rolled into one. You can post a question and get hundreds of answers. You can also find helpful hints from items for dinner to places to vacation. The site provides lots of material for moms who are searching, and if they do not have an answer you can easily post a question. There is a wealth of information there, and you can rate the answers that are given and report answers if necessary. This is an extremely interesting resource, and I will definitely put it into my web rotation. Next time you are wanting to know something about your child or you want to ask questions of other moms who have children in your child's age bracket, try Mamapedia.com.

Ragu Blog Tour
Sweet Tomato Basil and Margherita are Ragu's newest flavors. I often use their products and I am currently in mourning for their primavera sauce. Can't find it anywhere. I have however tried their two newest flavors.
Nothing spices up a lame pasta dish like a new sauce. The sweet tomato basil was a hit. My husband is into the traditional meat sauce, but I like to switch it up. We had penne pasta noodles, sliced grill chicken with roasted bell peppers and the sweet tomato basil sauce.... Let's just say this dish may become part of the regular rotation.
The Margherita sauce was a hit with me and my husband (I used it in my spaghetti). My daughter however, told me she didn't like it, she preferred pasta salad. (She is 3.) I wouldn't put too much stock in her opinion because she is going tinot her massively picky eater phase. I loved the sauce and it had a nice robust flavor. I would give it a 4.5 out of five. For more information about Ragu's new sauces go to http://www.ragu.com. And for reviews of many of the products we like to use and a mom's perspective, go to http://www.momcentral.com

Subversive Vegetable Propoganda (Veggie Adventure Blog Tour)
Now I don't know about most mom's but I have had the misfortune of trying to get a child to eat vegetables. Making veggies into shapes, sneaking veggies into snacks....etc. It is quite time consuming. I have noticed that if my child sees something on the television or the computer she automatically wants it! So thanks to the folks at Hidden Valley Ranch, I have a new way to subliminally push vegetables! Yay me. Visit http://www.loveyourveggies.com/games to play games.
First you grow your vegetables. You have to shoot water at the insects in order for them to leave the veggies alone. You can't use too much water or you will run out. The next game requires you to drive your veggies to the kids in time for their snack. Did I mention you do that with a tractor? I am a country girl so that was right up my alley. You have to drive and not hit bumps in the road or animals. If you don't, guess what? you lose veggies, and you have to do it in a certain amount of time. This is so cool. Unfortunately, I have yet to get past the driving test in time. Next stop the kitchen.
The games are fun and I would highly recommend allowing your child to play them with you. It puts vegetables in a positive light.
In addition, the loveyourveggies site does offer some printable activities as well. Try this site out on your finicky vegetable eaters.

No More Tears after all these Years! (blog tour for Johnsons and momcentral)
Johnson and Johnson has been around for ever. Can you believe it? It is as old as Madonna, Barbie, and Michael Jackson. Fortunately for my children, it is as consistent as it was when I was a little girl.
I have tried JOHNSON’S® HEAD-TO-TOE® Foaming Wash and JOHNSON’S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash. They work awesomely. I wish I had the foaming wash when my daughter was smaller. It works excellently for preemies. Especially if they are extremely sensitive to cold and can't really be immersed in a lot of water.
The Baby Bubble Bath and wash is also awesome. My three year old and one year old love love love it.
