At first, I was REALLY unsure. And didn’t want to do it. Ever. But then I changed my mind. In fact, my feelings of uncertainty shifted significantly, and I became certain I WANTED to use the DivaCup. So I did. Now, I’m sharing my thoughts so you, too, can decide if you want to try this product. How it Works If you don’t know what the DivaCup is, you can learn

January 17, 2019 9:24 pm | by
What to do with all the toys?

Well, we blinked and the holidays have come and gone. All that remains are a few extra pounds and likely a heap of new toys, some of which have already been abandoned. If you’re anything like us, you’ve also been bingeing on Marie Kondo and are straight up not finding the spark of joy in all of this “stuff”. Take a deep breath in. We’re right there with you. Toy Organization I am a self-proclaimed control freak. I need to know where are all the toys are at all times. If a toy has a bunch of pieces, I have a need

Splish splash - toys for the bath!

Happy New Year! If Santa Claus brought your kids some new bath toys, you are in great shape for the New Year.

Tips for keeping your child warm while traveling in their car seat.

Keeping children warm in the winter is important, but so is car seat safety. Puffy coats can get in the way of car seat straps. If you were in a collision, the pressure of the accident could change how the child is restrained, which means the child could shift in the seat causing harm or even be ejected from the seat. Securing the child properly in the straps is key. If you have questions, refer to your owner’s manual or contact a CSPT. How to Check If a Coat is Too Puffy As a test, buckle your child in their

Choosing the perfect holiday traditions for your family.

We are just days away from Christmas. Are you trying to decide which activities you and your family will do this weekend? Here are a few of my favorite holiday traditions to do with my own family.

Keeping Childhood Full of Magic
December 8, 2018 8:00 am | by

Warning: Stop reading if young eyes are reading over your shoulder. We all want the best for our kids. There are definitely different schools of thought on the magic of childhood. Do you tell your kids the 100% straightforward facts or embellish to create some childhood magic, wonder and possibly coerce them into good behavior? When it comes to science, I tell my kids the facts. We call our body parts anatomically correct names. When it comes to white lies, I am 100% guilty. We talk about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. It’s fun for them
