Your Kids

I don’t know if you noticed, but the Nugget (that little play couch for kids) has been super popular lately, especially during these times where we find ourselves at home more often. It’s perpetually sold out.  And when they do come back in stock, they sell out within a couple minutes.  It’s crazy. So, you might find yourself wondering, “what …

One of the most exciting parts of setting up the baby nursery is pick out decoration and signage for the wall.  There are a lot of directions you can go, whether it’s a sign with the baby’s name, a cute phrase, an animal or some other object that matches the theme of the nursery…there are so many options!  We’ve done …

As a parent, summer time can be a challenge. Whether you’re a stay-at-home or working parent, the reality is, summer time is “fun time.” (big time air quotes there) And fun time means…you need to find stuff for your kids to do. Even if your kid is young enough to still be in daycare or you’re sending him or her …

My playpen is one of my favorite things I own (as it relates to my kids’ stuff). It is so versatile and makes things like cleaning house, days at the beach, and traveling SO much easier when you have a young toddler or mobile baby always trying to get into trouble. But how do you know if you’ve got the …

With Halloween around the corner, we’re trying to decide how to dress our little girl for her first “real” Halloween (she was a newborn during her actual first Halloween, so we don’t really count that one). When your little one is just a baby, Halloween and the costumes are more for you anyway. She’s not going to remember it. But …

As your little one enters “toddlerhood,” you’ll probably notice that he or she is becoming increasingly interested in reading books (or more accurately, having books read to them). As you follow your child through this reading journey, you’ll likely come across what I think is one of the best parts of reading to your child – interactive books!   We are …

Meltdowns, fits, tantrums – whatever you call them – they are exhausting for everyone involved. However, they are a normal part of child development. They also happen to be great learning opportunities for both kids and parents. (Yay, I bet you’re happy to learn while dealing with a tantrum.) Dealing with tantrums is no one’s idea of a good time, and …

Before our daughter was born, I’ll admit, we were pretty clueless about most baby products. Like most people, we set up a baby registry and put a bunch of stuff on there.  Some of it was pretty straightforward – clothes, blankets, etc.  But there were definitely other products where we had no idea if we’d ever actually use them. One …

Let’s face it: most toddlers are picky as hell.   I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made lunch or dinner for my daughter only to have her barely pick at it, push it away, and say “all done!” when she clearly needed to eat more.   I hated doing it, but like many parents, I would give in and just …

You may have thought your little one’s sleeping problems were behind you. Waking up with a newborn guzzler is no joke, but now your bug-eyed toddler seems to be going through the dreaded 2 year old sleep regression. And like me, you could be waking up with a kid’s foot in your face. Although you may have thought this was the …
