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

“They are very regimented about their sleep.” “She’s going to sleep already?! Didn’t she just wake up?!” “Does it really have to be that dark?” “You need to chill out.” These are just a few comments we’ve heard from family members while on our journey with sleep. It would be easy to let these comments […]

With the school year quickly approaching (although it will look very different this year), many of you are preparing to send your child to daycare for the first time, or back to daycare after an extended period of time away. For some of you this is super exciting, while others are nervous. And I know […]

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.

I don’t know about you, but I love sleeping during a heavy rain. I’m thankfully a pretty deep sleeper and I 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 […]

And this is a big piece of baby and child sleep that I did […]

Since getting married, Jason and I have always lived in small spaces. When we got pregnant with Olivia, we were in a one bedroom apartment, and I wasn’t quite sure how we’d make our space work since it was already tight. And I had my melt downs about not having space for an actual crib […]

As we are in the midst of a global pandemic, there are so many questions surrounding our day to day. How long will this last? When will I go back to work? How will my child continue progressing in school without actually being at school? How will I balance working at home and taking care […]

Although we are the “sleep experts,” our kids certainly aren’t, and we’re by no means parenting experts.  When one of our kiddos is having trouble in some area of sleep, it can seem “impossible” to fix because we’re “doing all the things” and we just must have the “hardest case ever.” But then we stop, […]

My junior or senior year of college I was hanging out with a friend who had just come back from a baby shower. I had never been to a baby shower before so I was asking her all about it, and she mentioned some of the more seasoned moms sharing advice, her favorite being: “Say […]
