Look, I get it. It’s freaking adorable when your child starts their baby talk, mispronouncing words or stumbling to mimic what you’re saying. They are trying to develop their first language and with that, many lovable moments happen that make you want to hold on to them in this baby stage forever. But baby talk …

What I’m writing about today is nothing new. I’m talking not new in the sense of ‘trendy’ or new in the sense of ‘ancient practice.’ In case you’re not yet familiar with the benefits of this incredible liquid yet, I want to tell you what the benefits are of drinking apple cider vinegar. What Kind …

If you have a kid, you’ve received unasked for advice about how you’re raising them. I don’t know what it is about the existence of a small human (even when it’s still tucked safely in your body) that seems to invite commentary from the most random of places, but this is a phenomenon that exists. …

Before children, I had grand dreams of family meals with joyful laughter and lots of thankfulness for all my hard work in the kitchen. But, the after children reality check is all too real… I’m lucky if 50% of the family likes most meals I serve. The good news is, I’ve learned to modify quite …

I’ve followed KB Cute Designs on Instagram for quite a while now. The photos are darling and their swaddles (and accessories) are true to their name… very cute. But, as a mom of almost 4, I wasn’t convinced that $28 was quite worth adding yet another swaddle to our family’s collection of cozy blankets. I was …

For the love of all that is holy, please stop teaching your kids pet names for their private parts in lieu of their real names. Use the correct terminology, from day one. Here are some of the absolutely ridiculous examples I’ve actually heard some parents use when talking about their kids’ genitals: Monkey (vulva) Cookie (vulva) …

Planning a multi-generational vacation is a great way to spend extra time and make more memories with the grandparents and grandchildren especially if the entire family lives far apart. That’s why Universal Orlando is on the top of our list for visiting with the grandparents. Since we live quite a distance from our extended family, …

My 6 year old is turning into quite the little chef and one of her favorite recipes to make is French toast. It’s a real winner of a recipe for new cooks because it incorporates things like measuring, cracking eggs, and safe stove use. And it doesn’t take too long 🙂 In honor of spring, …

I love finding new recipes. Unfortunately, it seems like the ones that look good always require just a bit of an ingredient that is only available to purchase in a much larger quantity than I need, and which I don’t have any other use for. And while my family may have really enjoyed the cheesy …

Parents Magazine recently published a snippet from the healthcare journal Pediatrics, and parents are going crazy. They summarized this article which states, Promoting breastfeeding as “natural” may be ethically problematic, and, even more troublingly, it may bolster this belief that “natural” approaches are presumptively healthier.
