Teething Hacks to Make Your Baby Feel Better

Four budding teeth! My poor baby girl is struggling because four teeth are trying to make their debut and her tender little gums are hurting. As a momma, you never want to see your child in pain or suffering in any way. As she struggles with the pain, I immediately do Google search after Google search to hear what remedies others have used to relieve the pain.

Christmas Tree Ornaments and Decorations You Can Make With Your Child/ren

If you are anything like myself, you LOVE doing crafts with your kids…especially around the holidays. If you happen to be nostalgic, you can whip those babies back out year after year when the holiday season approaches and it will trigger fond memories of when your kids were the age they made the craft. I’m a sucker for the Hallmark Channel movies, hot cocoa with marshmallows and candy canes, decorating the tree with the most gaudy ornaments (but they are made by us and each one has a special place in my heart), the Santa experience, going to holiday gatherings, cookie decorating parties, etc. I can’t get enough of the Christmas spirit!

The Christmas Pickle…

I’m sorry but I can’t enough of the pickle tradition this year! Every time I think about it, it makes me chuckle and I want my family to be a part of the tradition…so we are starting this year! We have implemented a lot of traditions but I think this is one my kids WILL LOVE! My husband, on the other hand, is a bit skeptical and gives me the good ole eye roll every time I talk about it. Just wait, he will be the biggest supporter once he sees it played out.

Family Thanksgiving Traditions

It’s that time! The time of year when we sit down and enjoy the company of friends and family. For me and my family, I am all about starting fun family traditions that my kids can one day pass onto their own families. I love holidays and all they stand for. Trying to incorporate the true meaning of the holiday along with some fun is something I strive to do. I have done some research and come up with some fun traditions that will make your turkey day that much brighter and more meaningful.

Grocery Shopping with the Littles

Three little girls ages six and younger…YIKES! Going to the grocery store can be a worst nightmare. Or, seeing the light can be possible with a few tips and tricks. As a momma who is always trying to make life easier and less complicated, it was only natural for me to consciously think of easier ways to navigate grocery shopping with the girls. Here are some tips for you when shopping with kids.

Television and Kids…What’s the Scoop?

I remember as a kid planting myself in front of the television and watching my favorite shows…Murder She Wrote was at the top of my “Favorites” list. I’m not sure if my parents warned me against too much television or if they were oblivious…but I have several pictures of me as a child propped in front of the tv smiling at the camera. Don’t get me wrong, I am not faulting my parents…they always had my best intention in mind, but I do feel they were young and naive to the effects of too much tv on my development.

Weaning Your Baby from the Bottle or Breastfeeding

So Tawny, our youngest, turns one in just a couple of weeks and for some reason, I was having a hard time remembering how to wean her from the bottle (or breastfeeding if you are doing that). You would think I would remember having done this twice before but honestly I couldn’t recall. I sat down and did some research and thought I would share it with all of you as well.
