Every parent wants their kids to look cute and sleep well!  Or at least I know that's what I want.  As a mom, I love finding adorable things for our kiddos to wear and get especially excited when I come across adorable boy clothes.  (I didn't realize until I had boys how hard they could be to shop for!)  But what's a cute kid if the entire house isn't getting any sleep!?!  Now I've found a company that offers all that and more!  With today's 2016 Holiday Gift Guide stopping at Sleeping Baby, Read more [...]

As I'm preparing for the upcoming hustle and bustle that the holiday season brings, I'm trying to complete my Christmas shopping by the end of November.  I really like to just slow down a little in December and getting the gifts out of the way is a huge help.  While I'm not fully opposed to electronics and gadgets, I do put focus on finding gifts that offer simplistic, open ended play.  Encouraging imagination means that the kids stay engaged and entertained longer as they can continue creating Read more [...]

Playgro sent me toys for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. I have a just-turned-toddler on my list this year. He's taking steps now and will be walking all over by Christmas. He just got a ton of birthday presents last week, and I know he will get lots of gifts again at Christmas.He owns a lot, so I know I needed to find something unique for Christmas to ensure that it's not something that someone else would buy for him as well. I Read more [...]

As I continue on my search for the best gifts for Christmas 2016, I turned my attention to Eco Vessel.  I've been using a variety of their bottles for years and have absolutely loved the choices they offer.  Since I do enjoy giving functional gifts that I know will get used, loved, and appreciated, a high quality water bottle always comes to my mind.  I always hear about how people are not drinking enough water these days but I find that it's much easier for my family to get in the suggested amount Read more [...]

It's funny how you hear two different theories about younger siblings. Some people say that younger siblings hit milestones faster, because they are more eager to get around so they can join in on the fun with their older sibling. Other claim the exact opposite - that the youngest will take the longest to walk or talk, because they have siblings who are eager to help. This post about baby milestones and saving money on baby expenses is sponsored by Well Beginnings. Royce turned one on Friday Read more [...]
