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 […]

Creating a baby registry is one of the most fun and also most stressful things I’ve ever done. There are so many amazing products out there, how in the world are you supposed to choose? What is a “must have”? What might be fun but unnecessary? Which brands are better? One of the many categories […]

I have a scenario for you… Everyone in your house is sound asleep and out of nowhere you hear your little one screaming. What is going on? Are they having a nightmare? Is it a night terror? What do you do?? And how do you keep it from happening again? I thankfully haven’t experienced a […]

I hate to break the news to you, but it’s my responsibility to remind you…Daylight Saving Time is coming. If you’re not ready to think about it yet or don’t want to think about it, then just get out of this post and read another one. But if you want to start wrapping your mind […]

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

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 […]

Jason and I have been married for nine years and we have moved NINE times, seven of which were with kids. So we have moved A LOT! And after our move this summer, we really hope we won’t ever have to move again. But the good news is, we’ve learned a lot from those moves! […]

Last week, we talked a lot about daycare and sleep – what can you realistically expect from your provider, for better or worse, what can you realistically expect from your child, and how they’ll actually sleep. If you haven’t read it yet, pause and go back so you don’t miss anything! This week, we’re continuing […]

It is back-to-school season, which is usually a very transitional time for families. If your baby or toddler is in daycare, this might be when they go back to daycare after being home for the summer, or move up to another room, maybe you’re putting your little one in daycare for the first time…or maybe […]

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 […]
