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

I still remember the first time my oldest slept through the night. It was actually a total fluke (she was 8ish weeks old) and she didn’t do it again until she was 10 months old and we sleep trained. BUT I vividly remember waking up that morning and my boobs HURT. They were so full […]

“Never wake a sleeping baby.” My guess is that most of you have heard this piece of advice at one time or another, and if you haven’t, you just wait! While I certainly don’t enjoy waking up a sleeping child, sometimes it’s necessary for the sake of other naps or overnight sleep. So in this […]

I have always loved all things babies, birth, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

I am definitely a minimalist at heart and really don’t like having extra or unnecessary things around the house – for me, Jason, or the kids. And there are SO many baby and child products out there that just aren’t necessary! In fact, there are some products that are not only unnecessary, but I really […]

As a special needs parent, you have a lot on your plate.  You are a parent, teacher, therapist, chauffeur, nutritionist, lawyer, nurse, and more.  It’s all the more important that you are getting the rest you need to be the best parent for your child. However, you’re reading this because (probably) your child is not […]

Does your toddler or older child get nervous at bedtime? Are they afraid of the dark? Or of monsters in the closet? Or are they simply afraid, but unable to explain why or of what? This is common! Especially as kids’ imaginations start to run wild, or they see something scary in a book or […]

Sleep and potty training…two huge topics frequently talked about in the parenting world! Because it looks a bit different for every family, and there are different approaches you can take to both. Then combine sleep and potty training, and you get night time potty training…YIKES! I’ve got you covered when it comes to sleep, but […]
