Thanks to Pinterest, moms everywhere feel the need to up their Tooth Fairy game. But wait... What if the Tooth Fairy flat out forgets to show up? What if your child wakes up in the morning devastated that her tooth is still there?  

Once you have held and listened to one of our stuffed animals with a heartbeat pounding away, you too will fall in love. I wanted to take a moment and write about our heartbeat animals and who we are.

An angel baby will never be forgotten. Honor your baby this Christmas. 

It’s hard to find an infant sleep study or research that has not been funded by crib manufacturers, in which the information is not swayed in favor of cribs and against bed-sharing.  

Perhaps you read my article about Emmett’s sensory meltdown a few weeks ago.  I received an overflowing amount of love and understanding from so many of you, but I also received questions.  Many parents wrote asking if their child could have sensory processing disorder, when Emmett was diagnosed, what the symptoms are, and how we are helping – not to forget the other popular question, how I stay sane.

Eight long tentacles and a smile that can brighten any room, Susan the Octopus is a fun loving animal of the ocean!  She can make friends with any passing squid, and is always ready for a celebration. Spending her days sun-bathing near the top of the water, Susan enjoys watching the families on the beach in front of her.  She often likes to swim just close enough to feel their presence, but not so close that she scares them. Susan has a secret: she longs for her own family to build sandcastles with. One day, Susan was relaxing in the waves and enjoying a brunch with her fish friends as she heard something from the beach ahead.  A panicked yelling from what Susan knew had to be a mother.  She could not find her small child anywhere, and the lifeguards were beginning to search the waters.  Susan knew she could help.  She dropped her prawns and went completely still.  She tried to tune everything else out and listened for a sign of the child.  In the distance, Susan heard a faint “Mama” cry, but more intensely she heard a pounding heartbeat. She sprung into action.
