It's almost Valentine's Day! I'm a sucker for a good crafty project, so I wanted to make some cute Valentines with Reagan. We whipped up these little "blowing kisses" cards to send out to all her grandparents! My hub's family all lives out of state, so these cards were also the perfect way to send… Continue reading Toddler “Blowing Kisses” Valentine Cards

DIY Color Sorting Activity
Sorting colors is a great skill to practice with toddlers and preschoolers. To make the process fun, I whipped up this color sorting tray to use with Reagan and she picked it up so quickly! (Bonus, it's also a great fine motor skill builder!) This literally took me about ten minutes to put together, and… Continue reading DIY Color Sorting Activity
Real Moms Dish: Things I said Before I had kids…
"Everyone is a perfect parent before they have kids..." Truer words have never been spoken. Do you remember back in the days before you had kids and you got all judge-y watching moms in public with screaming, writhing children? "My children will never behave that way. They will act appropriate when we are in a… Continue reading Real Moms Dish: Things I said Before I had kids…
New Year’s Celebrations with Kids
Once you join the parenthood club, New Year's Eve tends to look a little different...as in no high heels, last calls, and dance clubs. But that doesn't mean we have to stop celebrating altogether!

Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, and being a parent adds a completely different level of magic to the fun.

(Or so I've learned watching her try to open other people's… Continue reading 51 Toddler Stocking Stuffers
No-Carve Pumpkins for Toddlers
In my opinion, there really isn't another decoration that screams "fall" more than pumpkins! Carved, painted, or just piled in a stack, they just add the perfect autumnal touch to any home! Traditionally my husband and I carve pumpkins each year, but we sort of figured toddlers and knives don't really mix. So we decided… Continue reading No-Carve Pumpkins for Toddlers
Toddler-Friendly Fall Bucket List
While we seem to be having a heat wave here, (seriously, 92 degrees in late September?) the leaves have started to change and fall is in the air. I love the sun and heat as much as anyone, but I am so ready for boots, cozy sweaters, and chilly air. Now is the time to… Continue reading Toddler-Friendly Fall Bucket List
What’s in my Toddler Diaper Bag?
Now that Reagan is almost a year and a half...(um, what?) there are a lot of baby things that we don't need to carry in the diaper bag anymore, like a nursing cover, burp cloths, bottles... But an un-potty trained wee one still comes with a lot of literal baggage. I'm going to share with… Continue reading What’s in my Toddler Diaper Bag?
Beach Day Mom Hacks for Toddlers
Remember back in your pre-kid days when going to the beach meant throwing a towel, a trashy book, and a couple of beers sodas in your bag and walking out the door? Ah, simpler times... Although throwing a baby into the mix definitely changes the beach-going process, it really doesn't have to be a nightmare. It… Continue reading Beach Day Mom Hacks for Toddlers
Tips for Road Tripping with a Toddler
Since our daughter Reagan was born, we've made the drive to Syracuse, NY once every couple months or so to see my hub's family. When she was an infant, although it took a little longer because we stopped for a few breastfeeding pit stops, she was a total champ in the car. Now that she… Continue reading Tips for Road Tripping with a Toddler
