Your little one's sleep doesn't have to be a mystery

Transitioning your child from a crib to a bed is a really exciting transition, but it can also be nerve-wracking! We’ve done it twice now, and while it went smoothly both times and sleep is literally my job, I was still just as nervous! You just never know what will actually happen. So in this […]

When I was first told 3.5 years ago that I should establish a nap and bedtime routine with my baby girl, I was a little overwhelmed. What would we do? What song should we sing? Would this really matter for a newborn? What if we somehow messed it up? So Jason and I chatted through […]

When babies and toddlers get stuck in a pattern of waking up early to start the day, that often means they also nap early and then have to go to bed early, and the cycle just keeps repeating…and it’s frustrating! And that “early to rise, early to bed” cycle can be tough to break – […]

The day every parent dreads…watching on the monitor as their toddler skillfully (or not so skillfully) climbs out of the crib. Or not realizing anything happened until hearing the pitter patter of little feet running down the hallway, or the extra commotion of clothes being thrown out of the dresser rather than sleep taking place.

There are some milestones in parenting that shake you a bit more than others. A classic one is when your child starts calling you “Mom” or “Mommy,” rather than “Mama.” One that totally blindsided me was starting to use two-piece pajamas rather than onesie pajamas. Then there are a lot of milestones parents look forward […]

Whether you call them the “Terrible Twos and Threes” or “Terrific Twos and Threes,” we all know that toddler life is crazy –  good crazy and messy crazy. With this newfound independence and language often comes some sort of sleep regression or change in sleep patterns, and one great tool to introduce at this time […]

“Is your child sleeping through the night yet?” Some of you may cringe when someone asks you that question, because the answer is a big old, “Nope,” and you’re just longing for the day you can say, “YES!” It’s truly an exciting milestone when a little one sleeps through the night for the first time, […]

With the beautiful fall weather finally rolling in, cold and flu season is quickly approaching (although I feel like all year is sick season with kiddos!). But as a parent, there’s not much that makes me more sad than when my babies are sick. No matter what we do or do not do, even the […]

Do you ever experience a scenario like this… It’s Friday night, you’re SO excited the week is over and cannot wait to enjoy some amazing weekend plans. You stay up late that night and Saturday morning you snooze as long as possible. Saturday afternoon, you take a nap so you can make up for a […]

A lot of newborn families think that those first several weeks equal sleepless nights, never your being able to put your baby down, survival mode, and pure exhaustion. And I’m not pretending those things aren’t real – there will absolutely be sleepless nights, newborn babies definitely love those snuggles (as do we!), some days you […]
