    My Top 5 Favorites for December 2022

    Starting a new series where I share my top 5 favorites from the month. These can be toys, products, clothes, furniture, or really anything I’ve been loving for Mackenzie or myself over the past month. 1. Camera for kids– Mackenzie got this for Hanukkah & she absolutely loves it! She can take real pictures & I can upload them to my computer with an SD card. It’s actually adorable to have photos taken by my 2.5 year old. This camera comes with way more like video & games, but she doesn’t know that yet, so she’s only used it to take pictures so far. Highly recommend this as a gift…

    Indoor Toddler Activities For When You Can’t Go Outside

    Below you’ll find a list of some of my favorite indoor activities, which are especially great for rainy days! If you have a toddler like mine who loves the rain, you’ll still want to get outside, as long as it’s safe, for some fresh air & puddle jumping! These are activities that you can most likely do with the stuff you already have around your house: Fill a bowl with soapy water & give your kid bowls, cups, & spoons Make a fort with couch cushions & blankets or use a nugget or play couch you have Create an obstacle course with things you have in your home (painters tape…

    Brand Highlight: Why I Love Little Sleepies!

    It’s no secret that we love Little Sleepies pajamas in this house! If Mackenzie isn’t wearing a matching sweatsuit, she’s likely wearing a Little Sleepies zipper onesie (they make up 90 percent of her pajama drawer)! Here are just a few reasons why we love Little Sleepies: + they’re bamboo so they’re extremely soft and great for sensitive skin + the zipper pjs have hand and foot cuffs that can be folded over to cover hands and feet to keep them warm. I love the hand cuffs for when they’re small so you don’t have to worry about mittens staying on. At 17 months, I still love using the foot…

    Great Games to Play with One Other Person or Your Whole Family

    With the holidays just around the corner, I figured I’d make a list of some fun games that Greg and I have been playing recently. I have to give a lot of credit to my Aunt for introducing us to a bunch of these games and I love that they’re games just Greg and I can play or games we can play with more people. If you’re going to a family gathering for the holidays or it’s just you and your spouse or partner at home, these games are super fun to play!
