I don’t know about you, but I love sleeping during a heavy rain. I’m thankfully a pretty heavy sleeper and don’t often wake to storms, but sometimes thunder is just so loud it startles me out of my sleep. As an adult, it may keep me up for a few minutes, but I’m always able […]

I’ve had friends cancel travel plans because their child’s sleep is such a challenge and they don’t want to risk it getting worse. OR they go on vacation and are miserable the whole time because no one gets any sleep. Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be that way! Sure, your child’s sleep might not […]

Hearing your child wake up and call out for you, or come to your room, before 6:00 am is the WORST! If you’re like me, you cringe if it’s before 7:00. But I’m sure we’ve all been there! Early morning wakings are so frustrating as a parent and they can take time to rectify, but […]

Yep, you read that right. And I have photo evidence to prove it! Last summer, we got our two year old to nap on an airplane on three separate occasions! We took a trip out west with my family, followed by a visit to Canada to see Jason’s family, so lots of flying. I’m sure […]
