I was provided with an InnoTab MAX from VTech for review, but as always, all opinions are my own. We’ve got no shortage of tablets in this house (four!), and my girls love them for movies and games and video calls to relatives. But I’m always a little worried that they’re going to stumble across …
Back in my early parenting days, I used to pack a massive church bag. I had an extra outfit for the baby, at least a dozen baby toys, books, snacks, diapers, formula, the works. Even when my daughter got a bit older, I still packed a way-too-big church bag. Toys, coloring books, multiple snacks, etc. …
I posted awhile back about the amazing play dough recipe we use. Its a great recipe (perfectly squishy!), and we make it even more fun with a healthy dose of glitter. Well, this week we took things one step further! I decided to make some special “Balance” play dough, using doTERRA’s Balance essential oil that …
Today’s “Try it Tuesday” is the best play dough recipe ever!!! I have made multiple batches of it, and it is super easy to make, doesn’t crumble (crumbly play dough is the worst), and it stays soft for ever! I made some for my church’s nursery class almost a year ago, and its still fresh and …
Before becoming a mom, 8am was an early morning for me. I typically would have to set my alarm if I needed to be awake any earlier than 10am. Oh man… those were the days… I often see my friends complain on FB about their kids being early risers. I hear things like: “Bobby was …
My youngest is 2.5 yrs, and BUSY. She is too young for much solo imaginative play, and lets be honest, “playing” with her older sister doesn’t always work out well either. I keep thinking that one day they will start paying Barbies together for hours at a time, like my sister and I did. But …
When our child is not listening, disobedient, acting out, we want to punish and demand that they change their behavior, but there is an easier way to fix your kid’s attitude. I didn’t really give much thought to my parenting philosophy until my oldest daughter was about 3. She was stubborn, and hated to be …
I’m so excited for my very first giveaway! I got the chance to go to the Bloggers Preview Night at Oh Sweet Sadie in South Jordan last week, and my one purchase was an adorable clip from Jellabee. I am a fairly crafty person with quite a bit of experience making clips and headbands for …
No need to overcomplicate things with the “experts”! Here’s how to do potty training faster and easier than you thought. When my oldest daughter, Leah, was younger, I was definitely the milestone obsessed mother. I had a stupid timeline in my head on when she was “supposed to” do certain things. Give up bottles at …
Getting a great deal at Carter’s is easier than you think! Carter’s is my favorite place to get clothes for my baby/toddler/preschooler/little kid. Their stuff is well made, and the styles are sweet and age appropriate, just the right amount of trendy. I’m totally addicted to buying kids clothes! I have two little girls, and …
