Big Bear

My in-laws have a vacation home in Big Bear. We are so blessed! I had been wanting to stay there for the longest time, but life is busy with two kids and a daycare.

We decided to escape the September heat wave by packing our bags for a weekend getaway. Who can resist the cool, crisp mountain air; the smell of pine trees and burning firewood; clean, fun parks and playgrounds; Big Bear Lake; The Moonridge Animal Park; delicious food, and adorable boutiques? I can't.

Ethan and Emily had a blast. As soon as we got home, Ethan was already asking when we can go back to Big Bear. He's ready to play in the snow with his sissy.

Hyland's Teething Tablet Recall

Hyland's Teething Tablets have issued a voluntary recall. Click here for more information. You can also join discussions, or view comments on their Facebook page. The recall does not include Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Gel- .5 oz.

I love Hyland's products and will continue to use them in moderation. I've never given my children the recommended dosage -- I've only given 2 to 6 tablets within 24 hours and they've worked like a charm.

I'm looking forward to the new and improved teething tablets, which are expected to re-launch in early summer. I prefer Hyland's, however another safe and effective alternative to soothe your infant or child is: Boiron Homeopathic Medicine Camilia Teething Relief Single-Use Oral Doses, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 2).
