This post is in partnership with ErgoPouch. The first few weeks and months with your new baby is affectionately known as the “4th trimester”. It’s that time starting when baby emerges from the womb to the world. A time of bonding. An amazing but eye opening experience into what life with a baby will be …

I’ve officially dubbed this year as the “Year of the Soft Clothes”. Sure, there are other descriptions and words I’d like to use for 2020, but let’s keep things happy and just talk about my favorite type of clothes to wear when I’m at home ALL. THE. TIME. Yep, spent a good deal of 2020 …

I’m always on the hunt for easy art projects for my preschoolers. They love joining in on our craft time – especially if it involves paint – and this lettuce bottom paint printing project is just the ticket! After prepping taco salads for my husband and I, I handed off the romaine lettuce trimmings to …

I went to pull out my Christmas decor (I know, I know, Thanksgiving hasn’t even passed yet) and I noticed I’m kind of lacking in the indoor decoration department. So if you’re like me and you want something easy to DIY for Christmas décor this year, I’ve rounded up three (plus a bonus) of the …

I live almost an hour from my nearest Trader Joe’s. That means when I plan a Trader Joe’s visit, it’s a real event. I go with a long list of favorites and some leeway to add new finds to my cart. All that to say, my latest TJ’s haul proved to be very successful in …

Shortly after school started, my daughter had her annual eye exam. As she was finishing up, I asked her optometrist about blue light blocking glasses and whether they’d be useful—especially if my daughter ends up switching from in-person learning (where they’re doing a lot of computer learning anyway) to full remote learning if the COVID-19 …

There is nothing better than a cool, crisp fall morning. Add pumpkin pie pancakes to the breakfast menu and the day is sure to be near perfection! Our family has started having these every Friday in the fall and it is such a delicious tradition. We all look forward to it! I especially love that …

We are entering month 12,049 of this pandemic and we’re staying home as much as possible. I know I’m probably not alone in saying my kids have watched more TV this year than their entire lives combined. I used to be so good at prescreening their show choices, making sure what they were watching had …

It’s almost Halloween! This is one of my favorite days of the year because I love dress-up. Sadly, I’m way too old to be doing that on a regular basis (although I did dress up as Coronation Elsa to take my little Cinderella to a ball at the local Disney Store…). So if my kid …

This recipe for Korean bulgogi beef lettuce wraps is completely out of my normal dinner attempts. I prefer my international cuisine via take-out … from the experts. I have tried and failed at too many Thai, Indian, and Chinese dishes so I assumed Korean would be the same. And most probably would be fail, but …

Whether you are looking to start teaching your pre-K child how to write the letters of the alphabet, or hoping to get your elementary aged child to write more neatly, Handwriting Without Tears is a very popular curriculum that is well priced and easy to use. We recently purchased the pre-K book for our almost …

It has been three years since I have had a baby in my home. But, in three or four short months, another will arrive! Our family is so excited and thus, heavy into our preparations for a new little one. We have made our list and checked it twice, and slowly but surely lots of …
