One of the most exciting things and one of the most challenging things about becoming a mom is nursing! It comes so naturally for some and can be a struggle for others. I am so thankful I’ve been able to nurse both my kids, and I love how it easy it is to feed my…
let their toes be free to move in tsukihoshi
I have seen this brand around for a couple years now. It has always stuck out to me because, of course, I can’t pronounce it and the shoes are so fun. A great pair of quality shoes are a must for all kids. The stability and function should stand out when choosing their shoes. Tsukihoshi…

keep it clean and simple with cienta shoes #kidsfashion
This summer, the color we have been liking is blue. Any shade of blue and we love it. Turquoise, royal, carribbean, navy, you name it, we need to have it. When it comes to my kids outfits, I am really into having the colors match. My kids have a hard time with it sometimes. Although, there…

what we are watching this summer in our downtime, for big kids and little kids, from disney
I’d love to say we are in a GREAT routine this summer. That when we wake up every morning we have a game plan. Oh….that would be wonderful!! Instead, we have been flying, week by week, figuring out what we are going to do the day before it happens. Kids love that, but I’m sort…

Cars, trains, tractors, and trucks! These are a few of my little 2 year old’s favorite things. He loves nothing more than to be on a big piece of farm machinery with his dad or grandpa, and if I remember correctly he said the word tractor long before he said “momma.” That’s ok, he’s still…
