Raising an Older Child

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I learned that there is a lot of information out there about what to do with a baby. How to get your newborn on a sleep schedule or the perfect way to swaddle to keep them snug and warm. There are tons of advice columns for parents of infants and toddlers, but what happens when they get older? What happens when they start moving, talking and walking circles around you?There doesn't seem to be much in the way of articles and blogs on the older child. I am a mom of a 10-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. They are both past the toddler stage. I have learned a few things over the years,...
I get asked all the time, “How do you like your minivan?” and I often respond with, “How much time do you have because I LOVE it?” What’s not to love? Even with only having one child thus far, we aren’t a “travel light” kind of family. During the first four months of our son’s life, we spent a lot of time on the road visiting extended family so that everyone could meet him before we moved to Baton Rouge. Holy cow do babies need a lot of stuff! We packed it all up and hit the road with such little room to spare that I wonder if we could have made it in a car or SUV. Can I...
I know mine does... Thanks to YouTube, Easter eggs are no longer referred to by their proper name in our home. Instead they go by "Surprise Eggs!" When I became pregnant with my second child, most days I was quick to hand my phone off to my then one-year-old son. Out of sheer exhaustion I just could not mentally get up the energy to properly entertain him. At first, it was innocent enough. Baby Einstein videos. A couple clips from Thomas and Friends. But then, eventually Hudson learned to use the buttons. And how to navigate his way down the YouTube wormhole until he eventually landed on Surprise Eggs! If you have found yourself in a moment of weakness like me, where you let...
Last week, as we joyfully celebrated my son's first birthday we also celebrated another milestone: another trip to the pediatrician's office. I'm really starting to feel like I should have a VIP parking spot or some kind of frequent visitor punch card.  For more than half of my sweet baby's life, he has battled a multitude of illnesses.  All of which my pediatrician says are normal for an infant in daycare and experiencing his first cold and flu season (not what any mom wants to hear).  I'm just not really sure how much more my heart can take watching my son in misery with yet another illness.  My husband and I are exhausted from sleepless nights, weary from rocking him...
