My son is turning two and we are looking into buying a train set. We've heard good things about Geotrax. What do you think?

Photo Hunters: Colorful

I contemplated on whether or not to post flowers as I figured it wasn't too original, but this is such a pretty shot and such a nice variety of colors, that I wanted to share it. This is taken in Osaka, Japan near the Osaka Castle.....and is indeed, colorful. :)

A while back, I thought I'd retire from writing here, but it seems I can't. I really enjoy being part of the Wordless Wednesday and The Photo Hunters challenge so this place is going to stay put. I do most of my actual blogging at my own domain name: BabyTalkers.com - soooo, please visit me there, but keep on checking back here too. This is the place most of my photos will be as well as random tidbits from my other blog and some shameless self promotion. hehe :) Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day everyone!!

Newbie Mom Files

My husband and I have recently launched a new site called Newbie Mom Files. Our goal is to pool the resources of moms everywhere, all in one place to provide basic and to the point instructions, tips, and general advice for the new mom. Newbie Mom Files (or NMFs) are written for moms by moms so you can expect tried and true experiences from every day situations that we all face. We also would like to provide product reviews on the "necessities" for a new baby. We are looking for honest and direct feedback on a variety of baby products. If you are interested in writing a review on a baby product that you already have and would like to have it published on Newbie Mom Files, please either let me know by leaving a comment or just submit it here. If you would like to use your real name, an alias or remain anonymous, please let us know. You are also welcome to submit a link to your blog if you have one and we will gladly give you the proper credit. Additionally, if you are interested in writing an instructional NMF, you are more than welcome to do that as well. We are looking for articles on all types of things such as: 1. taking your baby on an outing (what necessities to bring, what not to bother with) 2. bringing your baby home from the hospital 3. how to start solids 4. getting your baby to sleep 5. distinguishing different types of cries 6. playing with your baby (at different ages) Those are just a few examples of the many, many topics you can write about. What's in it for you? First and foremost, you will be helping new and expectant moms! :) Secondly, you will be acknowledged for your knowledge. :) AND you get to be a part of what I hope to be something very special. :)

Photo Hunters: Rare

Doesn't get much rarer than this (literally)! Maguro on display at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan. Also very rare to see in Tokyo....and Japan in general from what I noticed, is to see a North American baby......especially a blue-eyed one. This is me crossing the street while pushing my blue-eyed American son in his stroller.
