My little guy has always been a great eater. Ever since he first started solids, there was rarely anything he didn’t like. After he turned two, I worried that his great little eating habits would change, but they didn’t. I thought we were in the clear, well, that was until he turned three and now we’re learning how to handle a picky eater! For the last four months, my eager little eater has now turned into a persnickety muncher who turns his nose up at the sight of anything that’s not a boiled egg, pack of fruit snacks, or cereal. We’ve had

Here’s a quick and easy holiday activity for you and your little ones! DIY cereal ornaments! The holidays are a perfect time to create memories with your family. We think fun activities like these promote family bonding and lots of smiles during the holiday season. I don’t know about you guys, but December has passed by rather quickly. With Christmas just a few short days away, we are getting into the last-minute ornament making and cookie baking stage.

With the new year quickly approaching, I’ve been trying to set some goals and make changes for 2016. One of the biggest changes we will make as a family is to live simple. And by simple, I mean to cut back on the expensive, unnecessary (and unhealthy) things in life. One place I’m going to start is with our laundry. It may seem silly to say that improving my laundry is one of my goals for the new year, but why buy the chemical filled stuff at the store when you can use products that are less expensive and better

My little guy is really in the Christmas spirit this year and I love it! He’s very curious and asks me many questions about the holiday, some that leave me quite puzzled. I’ve started doing a few of our own holiday traditions this year and a few that my mom used to do with my sister and I when we were growing up. One of those traditions was Christmas stockings. We always looked forward to our stockings on Christmas morning and my mom would fill them with the best things. Usually something we could use (socks, undergarments, hats, gloves), something

It’s that time of year again! And the most wonderful time, if that! I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy holiday shopping and snagging a few different things I know my little guy will love. With that being said I always try to shop as eco-friendly as possible. So many toys on the market are made with harsh chemicals and non-recyclable goods. Knowing that I can fill my little guy’s stocking with environmentally-friendly options always makes me feel better, an one toy brand that I’ve grown to absolutely love is Green Toys. Here’s why I adore this wonderful brand —

The holidays are here, and most kids will put a new toy or two on their holiday wishlist. I started to think about the toys I’d get my little guy this year, and it made me wish I could take a trip back in time just to soak up a few of the fun things I did as a kid. I’m always looking for toys that brought me joy when I was younger and I want to share the same experiences with children. I’ve been able to find a few of my favorite toys, but some of them are non-existent these days.

Packing snacks when we go places is a must with my little guy. He’s a very energetic, growing toddler who’s always ready to eat so I pack a little something to take along anywhere we go. Plus, I don’t have to stop somewhere to grab a bite to eat or have to opt for fast food. I’ve become quite picky with what and how I pack his snacks and, after multiple incidents of plastic tubs either cracking or leaking, I knew there had to be something else out there that would work for our needs. I was a huge fan of
