Happy 6 months Little Dude

My dearest Little Dude, Six months ago today we welcomed you into our lives, family and the world. We were so beyond thrilled to meet you. The last six months have gone by so quickly. You have made me and your dad parents to two kids and made Princess Peach a big sister. You bring […]

Potty Training Prep

Now that Princess Peach’s bottles are gone thanks to the amazing Bottle Fairies, we have been talking a lot about the Diaper Fairies. You know these little ladies who come at night, collect all the diapers, and give them away to babies who need them? I guess in our house they will be replacing diapers […]

New Year, No bottle

We have been leading up to this day for a while. Princess Peach, although she thinks she can run with the big kids, loves her bottle. Her teacher Petra was amazing last year at eliminating her bottle at school. We were good too. She only had 2 bottles a day (one in the morning and […]

Heinz Baby #review

Heinz baby rice cereal

There are so many milestones that happen during your infants first year of life. It’s pretty wild to see what babies learn to do in a very short 12 months. They learn to sit up, grasp at items, roll over, scoot, crawl, pull, push, eat food, drink from a cup or bottle, names of items […]

The Power of Positive Praise

This past September, Princess Peach moved from the senior infant room to the pre-nursery room at “school”. With the move comes a whole new set of learning expectations and changes. She is now learning a full nursery-based curriculum. They do circle time, letters, numbers, matching, gross motor, fine motor and religious based activities. It’s wonderful […]

The Never-ending Battle

Breastfeeding. That’s my never-ending battle. With both of my kids it hasn’t been easy. When I was pregnant with Princess Peach there was no doubt in my mind that I would breast feed. I didn’t even buy a bottle, formula or anything related to bottle feeding prior to her arrival. Why would I? I would […]

The “D” word

This post is a much more serious kind of post. I wrote it a long time ago, and have come back it to and edited it many times. I guess now that I’m a parent my priorities have changed and life sometimes isn’t just all about shopping, friends and trendy restaurants anymore 🙂 Death or […]

What to pack for the hospital and a prenatal pack giveaway #PGmom

Now that I have given birth to two kids, I consider myself somewhat of a pro in packing hospital bags. The first time when I was pregnant with Princess Peach I packed everything that was on my list from my prenatal class. I don’t’ think I used 10% of what I was told to pack! […]

Wardrobe Scores

I obsess about my kids clothes. No lie. I worry about what they are going to wear, stress about pieces they are missing in their wardrobe and what new outfits we can make with clothes that they have. The Hubster even feels pressured when he dresses the kids (haha i love writing that) because he […]

Toddler Crack

Yes, it’s true. There is such a thing as toddler crack. Have you heard of it before? Can you guess what it is? Before I even give you a clue, let’s see if you know what it is……… Ok here are 3 clues: 1) The sister is annoying  (that should give it away) 2) They […]
