I’m a stay-at-home mom, but sometimes I want more. Does that make me a bad person? I’ve been thinking about myself a lot lately, and what I truly want out of life as far as personal success and fulfillment. Yes, being a mother is the biggest blessing that I have ever had, and it’s the […]
How to Keep Toddlers Entertained in the Bath {Product Review}
As Corbin and Lynley grow, it’s increasingly difficult to keep them entertained. During bath time it’s vital to keep their focus on the task at hand and to remain sitting down to avoid a slip that could be painful, or worse, land them in the ER. Our most recent favorites are two toys from Nuby. […]
Tell her she is pretty
I recently wrote a blog post about letting my son like the color pink and letting him play with girl toys. He’s 1.5 years old, so I tell the naysayers to GET OVER IT! I’m also telling the so-called “parenting experts” the same when it comes to telling my daughter that she is pretty. Experts […]
Screw you baby molars!
Teething sucks. If you didn’t catch my tone from the title, this is a negative post. We’re all quite miserable in this house right now, except maybe Corbin. The reason being… Lynley’s first set of baby molars. One down, and three to go. Lord help us! The past couple of weeks have been filled with […]
Snack Time Made Simple {Product Review}
Snacks haven’t always been something we’ve done in our house. Up until about a month ago, Corbin and Lynley took two naps and ate three meals per day around those naps. But since my twins dropped their second nap, I’ve had to incorporate a morning snack in order to keep them awake longer. Getting them […]
Happy Half-Birthday! Corbin & Lynley’s 18 month update
We celebrated Corbin and Lynley’s half-birthday on Easter, and just like every milestone, it just sneaked up on us! I thought the first year flew by, but this second year of life is going quicker. One day my babies were babies and the next, they’re becoming independent little kids! It’s mind-blowing how fast they develop, […]
Blogiversary Sponsor Highlight on FunBites
One of my blogger friends, Sarah at Journeys of the Zoo, told me about this great company making it easier for moms and dads to prepare toddler and kid food. I had no idea that a cutting mechanism like this existed, and I am so glad that FunBites agreed to send us one to try […]
A girl and her Bear
Forming an attachment to a lovey is common in “toddlerdom.” Corbin and Lynley have been sleeping with a little stuffed animal or security blanket since they learned how to roll over and stopped wanting pacifiers. During the last few months, Lynley has shown favoritism to one special lovey, but not before testing out quite a […]
Tot School: All Things Green
Tot School has been a hit or miss lately in our home, but a few of the activities I planned for our green/St. Patrick’s Day lesson were well-received. It’s so difficult to get little people to focus, so my advice to moms new to Tot School is to just go with it! I didn’t spend […]
How to trick your toddler into eating {Product Review}
I don’t think it’s necessary to use the word picky in front of toddler because being a toddler means being curious about everything, which in turn produces finicky, emotional little people. Just read this post. After age one, I guess this switch goes off, and they begin to question everything, including that yucky, orange stuff […]
