Ahhh age 2… And the cutest little blonde spit fire you’ll ever meet. Don’t get me wrong, Claire is actually a fantastic eater considering most 2 year olds. But my goodness the energy and focus on this kid. She doesn’t want to sit still for a meal if there is running around and playing to…
Ever since my son was born, my husband has jokingly told me that he is my “real live dress up doll.” To which I reply without ever batting an eye, “Of course he is!” Isn’t that what every little girl dreams of doing one day? While we women are no longer playing dress-up with our…
The eternal debate of any photo loving parent: Do you, or don’t you, take your ‘good camera’ with you? On one hand you’d love to get some nice photos of your kiddos and family at the park/zoo/lake/random outing, on the other hand you really don’t have enough hands to carry the camera bag, your purse,…
Spring is a lovely time of year. It is full of color and new life. I love it, because living in Michigan, it follows a very dark time. Massive amounts of snow outside…and dark fashion colors inside. Can we just say no to grey and black for now!! I think so, and Kohl’s has us…
Ok so by the time we hit the 5 month mark, my babies are on the MOVE! I love making sure have soft, comfortable clothes for them the wear during the day while they are learning how to roll over, scoot, and crawl! Rompers have quickly become one of my favorite clothing styles for all…
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Cottonelle but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CtnlCareRoutine http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO Is it that time in your child’s life where they should be starting to use the potty on their own? And the unmentionable wiping on their own. I’m…
GoGoGoGoGO! I try so hard to get up early enough to be ready in time to walk out the door. We have it much easier than most because we don’t have to be anywhere until 9am. Sounds reasonable, right? Like we should be able to do it with no problem. But no matter how early…
Below zero temps, Polar Vortexes, blizzards galore…By this time of year I think just about everyone could use some skin pampering. And I’m not just going to put anything on myself – or my family. Taproot Farms exceeded my expectations for skin care, handcrafting all of their skin care right on their own farm….
Psst…did you hear? Valentine’s Day is this week! Are your grandeur plans set in stone yet? Or are your plans more fly by the seat of your pants? I’m typically the latter when it comes to Valentine’s Day. We don’t make a big deal out of it normally, but this year we celebrated early and…
I did not buy any diapers until our Charlie was 8 months old. A wise friend told me many years ago that I should buy a pack of diapers every month of pregnancy. It’s only fun to buy the first pack so enjoy the moment (before they are born and using 1,052 diapers a day). The thrill of buying a…
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Zarbee’s Naturals. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. When your kids are sick, the last thing you want to put in to their sensitive little systems are extra junk “stuff”. I am always reaching for…
We have *long* winters here in the Midwest. So about halfway through our cold season, we have outgrown pajamas and need a fresh round to get us through til May! I am a little late to the party in learning about fire retardants (PBDE’s) in children’s sleepwear. I was shocked to learn about how toxic…
