Myrtle Beach Mom Blogger Hatton Gravely blogs about life as a working mom, Myrtle Beach and preppy things!
File this under “wish I'd thought of that” (Chewbeads are also in that file folder!) : the Li'l Helper bottle holder. This little gadget props up your baby's bottle so he can feed himself. Brilliant! This would be especially helpful when out and about – I can remember being at a restaurant with one… read more »
Yesterday, I spoke at the Women in Philanthropy & Leadership Conference* in Myrtle Beach with my mom and Hollee Temple, author of Good Enough Is the New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood. The topic was “Can we have it all? Generational Perspectives on Work & Motherhood.” Hollee is the expert – my mom… read more »

Today, we got the Beaba Babypote Snack Container delivered to our doorstep from Amazon. This is a true story: I saw that it arrived when I pulled up and went straight to the store for applesauce instead of going inside. I’m not feeding him baby food anymore, but he loves Ella’s organics which come in… read more »
Here is my list of the best toys for a 6 – 18 month old, chosen based on how much Thomas has played with each over the past year. If you’re looking for a great baby gift or a first birthday party gift, these are some great choices. 1. B. Whacky Ball Watch the video… read more »

Today was the Big Day. The First Birthday Party for Thomas. And weirdly, it was a normal day… and really weirdly, I was really prepared. Which made it a very un-rushed normal day. This must be the type of day Superwomen experience almost daily. I didn’t cook… I ordered the cupcakes from Croissants Bistro &… read more »

Click here for my synopsis of convertible carseats. It’s only a few paragraphs, but I obsessed over this for a week. The Finalists I finally narrowed… read more »
Thomas is getting ready to turn 1. ONE. O-N-E, O-M-G! It’s almost been a year since I had a “false alarm” (not a false alarm, it turned out) got lost in the parking lot next to the hospital (true story) and checked into the hospital to have a baby (aww). That seems like 2 days… read more »
