Q. Having a baby can cost a lot, but I think it's just because people want to buy the absolute newest car seat crib stroller etc, not to mention the newest toys cute clothes, little baby socks and shoes etc.
I would just go get everything at a second hard store or better yet hand me downs from the many people I know who have had babies in the last year.
Also the big question. Cloth diapers or pampers? Pampers are certainly more convenient, but they cost money AND theyre terrible for the environment.
Thoughts?

What are some activities I can do with my bored 2 year old?
Q. I'm a stay at home Mom with an infant and a 2.25 year old. She has plenty of toys but gets bored and acts out. We usually read books and play with playdough. She likes to watch Nick Jr shows, but I don't want her watching TV all day. What are some fun, fairly easy, and fairly cheap (or free!) activities I can do with her to help her have fun during the day?
A. color with crayons and markers (washable)
paint with washable paint (I put my toddler in her high chair for art)
play with play food
take a bath to just play
go to the park
go to Mc Donalds playland just be sure to bring antibacterial wipes
free storytimes/workshops at the library
an indoor gym place with $5 or so freeplay
take a ball to the park and just let her run around
dance to music
play dress up
have her "help" with laundry
have her "help" with dusting
draw with sidewalk chalk and blow bubbles
play shape searchers and look for shapes around the house
make sock puppets or paper bag puppets
Hope I helped. I have an almost 2 1/2 year old and I'm a SAHM too. It can get boring but the key is to stay busy if you can. Get out of the house at least once a day even if it's just for a walk.

What are some good stocking stuffers for infants?
Q. I have a daughter who will be five months at Christmas, and I was raised without ever doing Christmas, so I don't know what would be good stocking stuffers for her. Any suggestions?
A. This is going to be my daughters first christmas too and I'm totally stumped. My parents go over board so forgive me if this is beyond what you were hoping to do. Some cute outfits, bath toys, teething rings, can of formula if she uses it, jar baby food as she will be eating it soon or maybe just baby cereal. A teddy bear? Picture of her family for her nursery?? These are things i'm thinking of. And since she really has no idea what is going on it doesnt hurt to throw in things she needs like diapers. She wont care that its not "cool" Merry christmas and good luck
