I am officially at the point in life where my kids are cooler than I am. My son has super cute surfer hair and an amber teething necklace. My daughter rocks a pair of bright green Saucony sneakers with rainbow tights. A good day for me is when my jeans only have one bodily fluid …
Mother’s Day is around the corner and everyone is getting ready to thank their mother for all the blood, sweat, and tears (literally) they put into raising kids. In our house, comedy is king so a sweet little Mother’s Day card with flowers and a Hallmark poem just isn’t going to cut it. Motherhood is …
I recently hosted a baby shower for two friends, both of whom are having their second child. Both moms wanted something low key because it was their second child, but I couldn’t have a baby shower without a little bit of a theme. A teenie weenie little smidge of a theme was necessary to elevate …
Sometimes kids need to earn their keep. I mean, if we spend years wiping their bums the least they can do is step up to the plate and help out every now and again. But getting kids to work can be challenging if they aren’t into it. Just like some people hide veggies in comfort …
It’s time to lean how to meal plan. Do you ever feel like your family eats the same things for dinner over and over? When you cook a meal does your family complain and say “But we just had that!” Do you find yourself dreading to think of something to cook for dinner? Is it …
At dinner every night, everyone in my family shares one thing they are thankful for from the day. This started in November as we were discussing Thanksgiving and it just stuck. I adore this new tradition. After a rough day of whining and snot and poop on the ceiling (yes, this happened last week) it …

This happens every year but this year it seems especially bad. My seven-year-old daughter has it the worse. …
Dying eggs is one of the few craft activities you can do with really young children. As long as they can put an egg in a bowl, they can help out. Those first two sentences were taken from my brain before I had ever dyed eggs with a young child. In reality, if they can …
I’m just going to say it, I’m not the craftiest person! Sure, if it is “crafty baking” I’m all in but if it is regular old crafts, I’m not that great. You know, the crafts when you create something with crap around your house? Yeah, those are just not the Martha Stewart traits that I …
Hey Baby Gizmo Readers! It’s Alex from Mommys Craft Obsession and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share my 3 Ingredient Sugar Scrub with you today! Let’s get started, shall we? I know we just met, but I want to make a confession to you. Until recently, I had never paid to …
After we filmed a few Baby Gizmo videos for American Girl in my daughter’s bedroom a couple months back, we started to get quite a few questions about her bed. While you can’t see the entire bed in the videos, so many people started emailing us and asking us questions about where we got the …
