    Great Children’s Books To Include In Your Child’s First Library

    We have all of these books and I absolutely love reading them with Mackenzie. Reading a book is a part of our nap & bedtime routine so we read quite a few books a day. She also will just sit for a few minutes and turn the pages of books while she’s in her room or play area. She also loves pulling all her books off the shelf, but we won’t get into that activity here! I love all of these books for different reasons. Some are super repetitive, like DADA or Dear Zoo, and others have tactile components to them like, Where’s the Unicorn, that has felt flaps on…

    Tips for Traveling with an 11 Month Old

    We just took our first trip to Orlando with our daughter Mackenzie (11 months old), which also was her first time on an airplane. We stayed at the JW Marriott Grand Lakes and made sure to book a suite, so we had a room where we could put Mackenzie down for naps and bedtime and we could stay up, watch tv, and chat (and not go to bed at 7pm). TIP #1: If possible, book a suite when staying in a hotel and you won’t have to go to bed at the same time as your kid! Also, staying at this big chain hotel was helpful because they were able…
