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

Traveling with young kids can be challenging enough (trips not vacations, right??), not to mention changing time zones and dealing with a jet lagged baby or toddler. It can be rough! But that doesn’t mean changing time zones with kids is impossible, and I certainly don’t want you avoiding family vacations and all of those […]

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 […]

Road trips with kids…even though we’ve done it several times, it’s still feels like quite the ordeal each time. And planning them is one thing I’m pretty Type A about, but it’s certainly worked to our advantage. Our trips definitely don’t always go according to plan, which is to be very expected, but being prepared […]

When I work with families, I help them adjust schedules, routines, and environments, and we walk through a plan that will teach their little one to fall asleep independently; we work on making behavioral and environmental changes that lead to success! And for most families, this is exactly what they need to solve their child’s […]

Sleep regressions…yes, they’re a thing! But as I’ve mentioned before, rather than being connected to specific ages, sleep regressions are most often associated with our babies and toddlers reaching new developmental milestones, such as rolling, crawling, walking, and talking. Our little ones are ready to practice and they often do so when they should be […]

“I’m the only one who can put her to bed.” “I can’t go anywhere because she won’t sleep for anyone else.” “We have to choose between having friends over and an overtired baby, or missing out on time with friends because he’ll only sleep if I lay with him.”   Sound familiar? The good news […]

“She must be teething.” I wish I could tell you how many times Jason and I said that very sentence, assuming Olivia’s sleep challenges must be connected to teething. I’m also embarrassed to tell you how many times we gave her baby Tylenol because we thought she must surely be in pain and therefore not […]
