Blissful Sleep is Possible :: How a Sleep Consultant Can Help Remember that time in our lives when sleep wasn’t something we longed for so much? We could sleep in until 9am on a Saturday morning and it was pure bliss, although we just didn’t know it at the time. Fast forward to parenthood! Ahhhh, the days of sleep are long gone … BUT are they really? What if I told you there is a caring person who will hold your hand while guiding you through the process of maximizing healthy sleep habits for your child? Scouring the internet for a “one size...
We’re a family that cloth diapers. We’ve had this plan before Maverick was born, and I remember having friends and family members chuckle at the idea of us doing it. “You won’t have time”, “It’s so expensive to cloth diaper” were two of the things I heard the most. Surprisingly, I don’t find it very time consuming. I mean you’re going to change a diaper anyway so why can’t it be a cloth? I’m not going to lie, though, the idea at first made me nervous, I mean spraying poop in the toilet kinda made me cringe ... especially newborn / beginning stages of solids poop. But I will try anything to save money. I did some research and...

Sassy Isn’t Cute

I've always held a special place in my heart for little boys. When I was a summer counselor at a local daycare, I was in charge of 21 four-to-five-year-old boys, and I absolutely adored it. Mud pits and exercise competitions were just part of the day's activities as far as we were concerned, and it gave me hope that one day I might have a house full of dirty, stinky little boys.

P.S. (and this P.S. totally goes at the beginning) This post is sponsored by Portrait Innovations. All opinions are my own. Unexpected Gems From Family Photos Sometimes life is hard. If you're a parent, you know this by heart. You live it and you try to teach it to your children so that one day, maybe they'll appreciate the fun in life when it happens to them or at the very least be able to point it out when it happens to others. "Look, mom. That seems fun." "Excellent, son. You've finally recognized it." Family photos can NOT be fun... I mean, there's certainly a potential for fighting, crying, insecurity, unflattering comparison, tantrums, more crying and grass stains on an expensive dress. You can really work yourself...
