Since our Charlie is the first child to reach the size 6 diaper scene, I guess it’s time to potty train the boy because our next option is DEPENDS. He just turned 2 and he’s smart. I think he’s ready, but am I? I really dislike potty training the kids, but I hate buying diapers…

We went to the dentist last week and my son told the hygienist that he usually brushes his teeth for 2 minutes but since he found out we were coming to see them, he’d been brushing for three minutes this week. Oh, that kid. He slays me. When my kids were smaller, we had a…
Weight loss. We’ve been talking about it here and there since the beginning of the year. It’s a very touchy subject, but when things are working, don’t you want to hear all about it? Maybe see if what they are doing will work for YOU? I’m always looking to make myself better, so I’m always…
Do you have picky eaters? Most of my kids are fairly decent eaters, but I have one that’s as stubborn as a mule. We try not to negotiate with him at every meal, but sometimes that’s hard to do! And it can be incredibly frustrating! And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone with this. It…
I often feel like all the mom stress of the day settles in my neck and shoulders. I think every mother should have a neck massage pillow from Zyllion. It’s versatile, slim, and ergonomic. It’s safe too, it comes with an automatic shut off and overheat protection. Just keep it near your favorite chair so you can take…
Shopping for children’s eyewear is not for the faint of heart. Both of my older children wear glasses and my son’s prescription changes about every 3 months, so we’ve had our fair share of comparison shopping, failed attempts at ordering glasses online, and disappointment at the selection out there for kids. The last time we…
My mind is one that wanders. And by “wanders”, I mean there is so much going on in there that focusing on one task seems nearly impossible. I try to call it “multi-tasking” but, really, it’s “half-tasking” at best. So when I found out about a meditation app that will help me feel clear-headed and…
There is nothing more relaxing to me at the end of the day than a hot bath! When I was pregnant, it was what I missed the most. I still took baths, but the temperature of the water was just not the same. I also spent most of the time I was in labor in…
Try as hard as I might, it is almost impossible to get my son all the nutrients his little growing body needs from food alone… especially now that we are in that picky toddler phase! I’m just thankful if he’s willing to TRY something, let alone eat the whole thing. GOOD supplements for children though…
Eating healthy is something I always try to have as a goal for me and my family. So often things get busy and the quickest meal to throw together at the last minute isn’t always the healthiest. Pasta is an easy, go to meal for many, but is something lots of people try not to…
Want to know the way to your child’s heart? Through snacks, of course. My kids can totally be won over with a good snack. Even my two-year-old says “No lunch, Mommy. Me want snackies.” And since snacks seem to be everywhere (each child needs a daily snack at school, snacks for sports games and practices,…
