Knock Knock Children's Museum :: A Must Visit for Kids in Baton Rouge Before I had my daughter, I considered myself “the fun auntie” – as I was the only one in my friend group with no kids. I would purposely buy toys that made noise with a bunch of pieces. Now, I am considering putting no toys on my daughter’s second birthday party invite because my living room looks like Six Flags right now. Seriously! I just cleaned out her toy bin and I swear there are still too many toys! Most are Montessori style, so they don’t make noise but whewww there are still a lot of pieces. I’m tired of tripping over toys! The worst is waiting for...
Disclosure :: this post contains affiliate links. Gift Guide for Kids Under 5 I love giving gifts. It brings me joy to see others delight in a gift I (my kids) have given. The only problem I had was that I didn’t always know what to get for little kids. What do I get my cousin’s one year old? My BFFs kid is turning 2, does she really want this loud, bright blinking toy that is “recommended.” We have a classmate party coming what should I get a 4 year old? Since becoming a parent, being invited to a bunch of kids’ parties and my kids getting gifts of their own I've found some go-to gifts. I’ve narrowed down some great...
Road Trip “Reads” :: Audiobooks for the Whole Family Hitting the road for that summer beach vacation, Thanksgiving trip to Grandma’s or Mardi Gras break to Disney World and looking for something to entertain the whole family? Try audiobooks.  Audiobooks are quickly becoming my favorite way to consume books. I’ve always dabbled in audiobooks, but recently I’ve been getting the audiobook and ebook for every title I read. I think audiobooks are a great tool to engage the whole family in a story.  I think we’re all looking for ways to connect with our kids in new and healthy ways. Reading is a great way to do so, but it’s not always easy to do. Summer reading or vacation assignments aren’t necessarily...
Get to "Reading" with Audiobooks June was audiobook appreciation month, and let me just say, I appreciate audiobooks. I’ve never been closer to meeting my reading goal as I am this year, and the year is only half over. I love audiobooks for a variety of reasons: they’re easily accessible, they allow for multitasking, it’s the equivalent of being told a story (and who doesn’t love being told a story). Audiobooks are also great for epic books that may be intimidating to read, or books set in alternate universes with made up words! I love to have both the audiobook and the ebook and either follow along in the ebook, or pick up from where the audiobook left off if...
