"The First 8 Days of Being a Mom is a wonderful practical guide for new moms. It's an invaluable resource to tell you what is normal, what to expect and what to do for you and your baby's first days together."

Fashion Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 1:25PM Congratulations to Shazia and Stefanie for winning a beautiful Bachik baby hat. Stay posted with our giveaways by signing up for our newsletter. On the left hand side of this website you can find the button.
Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 9:14PM Bachik is a line of hand crochet baby hats & blankets. Bachik (the Armenian word for kiss) was created by the Mom & Dot team, Karen & Taylor, out of the love for all things handmade and special. Some things are irresistible - like kissing a baby on it's head. Together they designed this whimsical line of baby hats that are like a sweet kiss for a baby's head.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 9:19PM I just bumped into a great support group for new moms in Southern California. NewMomsConnect is an 8-week, expert-led education and support group for first time mothers and their babies (from 0 – 6 months old). The goal of the workshop is to provide education and support to help women feel more confident and secure in their role as mothers and to better connect to their babies. Additionally, the program connects new or first time mothers with other first time mothers in their regional areas or neighborhoods, and encourages the development of lasting friendships and support that will endure long after the group has ended. Facilitated by a family and child development expert, the group provides education on infant development (e.g, infant-mother attachment) and parenting issues (e.g., impact of baby on the marriage, parenting styles, work/family life balance).
To see what first time mothers are saying about the program, click here.

You will be happy you did! Believe me, I've been there.
Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 1:30PM Enjoy this interesting TED talk of Alison Gopnik: What do babies think? Gopnik presents evidence that babies are conscious of far more than we give them credit for. So be careful what you discuss about Santa while the baby is in the room.
