1. Reuse - only an option if the car seat is not damaged and has not expired.
2. Sell, trade, or give away - only an option if the car seat is not damaged and has not expired.
3. Recycle - an option if the car seat is damaged or has expired.
Before we show you ways to recycle your car seat, here are some car seat guidelines. Read on.

So, last year, we were outside enjoying a sunny October afternoon, when my 9-year old said “Mom, you look very old today.” Wait, what did you just say?? “You have a lot of wrinkles.”
Of course I had wrinkles! The sun was shining, so I was squinting. And it was a long and exhausting day. (Not). And — ok, stop. Enough denial. That day I swore that 2020 was going to be a year of more self care and me-love.
My TLC-year started in January with a weekly HIIT and Yoga routine. In mid January I treated myself to a wonderful massage and two weeks ago I had my first-ever HydraFacial at Face to Face Spa at Davenport Village.

Does or did your kids have a Lovey? Both of our girls did. In fact, they still have theirs. They sleep in their beds, together with 15 stuffed animals and barbies, little rocks, beads, pieces of paper, acorns (?!?!?), coins, an occasional goldfish, and other things you wouldn’t believe.
Anyway, friends of ours recently welcomed their precious little baby boy into the world and we got him an awesome Baby Jack Learning Lovey. The lovey is a super soft little sensory tag blanket, perfect for cuddling, playing, chewing, and rubbing the ribbons, which are sewn closed to prevent little fingers from getting intertwined in ribbon loops. Read more about the lovey, the good cause that comes with it, and how you can enter to win one of four Baby Jack Learning Loveys.
