How To Keep Your Diaper Bag Organized
My house may not always be organized and neat, but you better believe my diaper bag is! I have a few tricks to keep it organized. Some things I can’t live with out that help me keep my bag organized are the Alvababy wet/dry bags & Bumkins waterpoof bags. The first bag holds everything I would need for diapering. I keep extra diapers, a changing pad, wipes, diaper cream, diaper cream applicator brush, & Munchkin dirty diaper bags. The next bag is an Alvababy wet/dry bag that holds extra clothing. I keep a change of clothes in here with socks, a hat, and a 5-in-1 multi use cover (right now…

Activities to do with Your Child During A Global Pandemic
These are the three activities I’ve found for Mackenzie and felt safe doing during the pandemic. I really wanted to get her around other children and since she’s not in daycare I wanted to find some classes where she could spend some time with other children. + Music class was our first class and we started out on Zoom, but when it was nice enough outside, we began outdoor classes and felt safe doing this! Mackenzie loves music so she enjoyed music class and I look forward to starting them again soon! I love that Music Together is a worldwide program so you can look for a program in your…

What Shoes To Get Your New Walker
So you have a new walker…now what? I had so many questions before my daughter started walking and they only continued once she actually began walking. Hopefully this post can answer any questions you have before your child starts walking to help put your mind at ease. First, I wondered when it was appropriate for her to begin walking. She had been cruising along furniture and using a walker since about 8 months old, but was showing no signs of walking. I read multiple places that it’s generally between 12 and 18 months that children start walking. I wasn’t worried that she was only cruising along furniture, but I’d be…

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!…

Awesome Children’s Book Subscription Service
As a former preschool special education teacher, you can imagine I have read many children’s books. I absolutely love the classics like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, but what I love even more than the classics is discovering new books I have never heard of before! That’s where Split Rock Books and their book subscription services comes in. They are a small business in Cold Spring, New York and can ship you any books they carry. My sister-in-law gifted M a picture book subscription for the holidays and I loved the idea so much, we purchased a board book subscription as well! Split Rock Books subscriptions get…

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…
