Made-in-the-Seattle Swoop Bags are a combination play mat and storage bag. When it’s open, it’s a big circle with slightly vertical edges (like a …

Sometime around kindergarten, loose teeth start happening and the tooth fairy begins her work for the next few years! It’s exciting and monumental and another thing moms and dads need to remember to keep the joy of childhood alive!

This post is in collaboration with JCPenney. The time that I’ve dreaded for a while is finally here. I don’t know how it happened but yesterday she was getting on the bus for the first time headed to kindergarten. And then I blinked. My baby is headed off to middle school this year and I …
In my humble opinion, there are very few actual necessities in terms of baby gear. They need somewhere safe to sleep, for sure, but basically everything else is convenient or nice to have – but not a necessity. Sure, strollers, swings, high chairs, bouncy seats, nose suckers… they’re all great to have. Can you get …
If you read my posts regularly, you’ve probably heard me mention (a time or two) that my family is preparing for a move. Things have been going as smoothly as they can be, but we recently ran into a bit of a hiccup: What in the world do we do about my daughter’s growth chart? …

Have you heard of the Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit? To be honest, I had only heard mumblings of it in mom groups and in my inner circle for quite a while but I never really saw it. Until last week! My sister-in-law and brother had their 2nd baby just a few months ago, and while …
My daughter is eight months old now and I think it’s safe to say she is full-on teething. She’s a pretty happy baby overall, so she hasn’t been incredibly fussy (yet), but she is chewing and gnawing on anything and everything. We have lots of teething toys for her, but when I am holding or wearing …
