Katie Talks About... Denver Mom Blogger

Violet has had a boatload of hair since the day she was born. I think she was about 6 months when I evened up her “reverse mullet” so that her hair was all one length (which, at the time, was almost chin-length). I never had long hair as a child, so I love living vicariously [...]
If you’re a parent, you know that it’s not cheap. It starts practically the moment you find out you’re pregnant. Medical bills for your appointments, hospital bills for the birth, and then your child is 2 days old! You have to feed them, clothe them, house them, and eventually educate them. It’s nonstop money flying [...]
When I was newly pregnant, my super awesome brother bought me the queen of all diaper bags: a Coach diaper bag. I love it. It’s all I could ever ask for. But sometimes you want something just a little different – I mean, when you’re carrying a regular handbag, chances are that you have a [...]
When it comes to helping to keep your baby’s skin dry and free of diaper rashes, we often turn to a number of products: diaper cream, lotion, oil, and baby powder.

This month’s cloth diaper carnival topic is cloth diapering a newborn. You can find out more and read other posts at Dirty Diaper Laundry. We put our first cloth diaper on Violet when she was 4 days old. Basically, we waited until the meconium had all passed, and then began. 99% of the time we [...]
How time flies. 18 months ago this very afternoon, I was getting ready to meet my beautiful Violet. Actually, at this time 18 months ago, Violet was 1 hour old. Tomorrow she’ll be closer to 2 than she is to 1. She’s not a little baby any more – rarely will she let me just [...]
I usually dress Violet a little tomboyish. We’re a big sports family, so she has jerseys, tees, and lots of sneakers. But she is a little girl when it’s all said and done. She doesn’t wear dresses a lot in the winter since it’s a little chilly here in Denver. But then I had the [...]
