Hi Robin,
I JUST discovered this new blog of yours. What a neat idea to pass along such needed information! I took the quiz in today's post...got 4 out of 5 correct. I went all the way back to your first post in August. There is much to browse here! Thanks for providing us with this blog!
Thanks for stopping in Carol. I was sort of selfish in creating the blog because I wanted to have quick access to the neat little gadgets after the baby is born, but didn't want to take away from the themes of my other blogs (maybe a little OC too - haha).
As I find good info or hear about things regarding health and safety I plan to post here as well. Of course whenever I need them again I can do a quick search.
Glad you enjoyed some of the info you found.
