Non Screen Time Activities to do with Your Toddler
I can speak for myself when I say I need to do a better job of incorporating non-screen time activities into our day! When I feel tired or have a headache, its just so easy to turn on Coco Melon and let her watch it! I want to build a list of activities I can do with her instead of putting on Coco Melon and figured I’d share my ideas with you below: + While I think Mackenzie is too young for a tonies box right now, I do think it’s a great activity to incorporate music & stories into your child’s day without putting on a screen for them!…

Great Ways to Stay Connected During a Pandemic
Staying in touch with family and friends has been at the forefront for me since the pandemic began. I wanted to find a way to share all of the pictures I have taken of our new little love with family and friends, even if I can’t see them in person for months! Pictures run in my blood (my poppee was a photographer and my mom lives for taking a million photos) so naturally my camera roll on my phone is FILLED with so many pictures, so I wanted to find ways to share these with those closest to me! I wanted to share all the ways we’ve been able to…

What Happens When Mom Doesn’t Take Care of Herself
As a mom we often get caught up in making sure everything gets done (dishes, laundry, work stuff, to-do lists, etc) and we end up neglecting ourselves. I did this a week ago and ended up feeling so sick that I was nervous I had COVID (getting sick during a pandemic can be scary)! I started to have symptoms (sore throat, cough, lower back pain) that could have meant I had COVID, so I went and got a rapid test that night and it came back in a few hours and it was negative (thank g-d). I still wasn’t convinced so the next morning my husband and I got PCR…

My Thoughts on Internet Privacy and Blogging
When I decided to start this blog, one thought I kept having was how putting myself on the internet could be very scary since the internet can be a frightening place. So when I decided to start a mom-blog I had to take into account my daughter and her privacy. She’s only 6 months old and I don’t feel comfortable publicly putting her picture on the web. I never really thought about this before since I have a private account on instagram and only have followers who are family and friends. Having a public instagram account has made me rethink everything I post. Now, when I plan a post with…
