    3 Practical Tips to Make Your Home More Child-Friendly

    08/21 /No Comments

    When you first have kids, you’ll have to make more than a few changes to your life. One of the more notable of these is trying to make your home more child-friendly. This can often be essential, and it’s also relatively obvious. But, that doesn’t mean every part of it is obvious. There could be a few areas that are easily overlooked. That’s despite how important they could be going forward. Thankfully, this whole process doesn’t need to be nearly as complicated as you could’ve thought. Focusing on a few areas and using the right tips could be more than enough to help with this. Three of them could stand…

    5 Things You Can’t Start Too Early When Raising A Toddler

    04/15 /No Comments

    Raising a toddler is a strange mix of wonder and exhaustion. One minute you’re marveling at how they figured out how to stack blocks without toppling them. The next, you’re wiping peanut butter off the dog. And all of itβ€”every sticky, hilarious, confusing momentβ€”is laying the groundwork for who they’re going to become. These early years aren’t just about surviving tantrums and teaching them not to eat crayons. They’re also the time to start thinking ahead, even if it feels way too soon.     Via Pexels Building A Financial Cushion For The Future It always starts with the same question: When should we start saving for college? The answer,…

    Top Parenting Questions Googled

    01/10 /No Comments

    They say parenting doesn’t come with a handbook and I am going to disagree. While it isn’t in handbook form, Google has become my go to when I have questions. Now I know you can’t rely on everything you read but other mama’s like myself have shared their experiences and after reading many scenarios I usually take a bit of each. Here are a few key things that I have searched in the past 18 months and have been asked by other parents. Remember none of this is biblical and should always be discussed with your doctor!

    Toddler’s First Camping Trip! How to Prepare to Camp With Kids

    08/29 /3 Comments

    Camping with a toddler sounds daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! You can learn from my experience and make it a successful trip! As many of you know already we took Coop camping for the first time a few weeks ago. I would like to say it was 100% successful but I would be fibbing to you! While it was a great learning experience, I will definitely do a few things different for our next adventure. I was anxiety driven as this was the first time camping with a toddler. I wanted everything to be perfect and being the OCD individual I am thought I had it all figured…

    Colorado, one of the greatest vacation destinations in the world! We had the pleasure of living there for four years and we loved every minute of it! We moved back to the East Coast last year so our little one could grow up with family but will definitely take him back to his birthplace and let him enjoy some of the great things we did while there. So there are the typical things that are a must do, but there is so much that is overlooked if you aren’t a local. This list combines the local spots as well as the touristy but in my mind are amazing and totally…

    Thank you to Becca from Mom Cave for giving her Must Do’s for Michigan. I have been to Battle Creek in the winter and let me tell y’all that is the coldest I have ever been in my life! Michigan is gorgeous however and hope that you find inspiration from a native. I am from Michigan and honestly, the things that I love about Michigan are not necessarily what others will recommend but here you go. I think that our greatest treasure is the Upper Peninsula. It is beautiful and unpopulated. But be warned, cell service is spotty at best. Visit the ghost town at Fayette State Park in the…

    Terrible Two’s Or Unrealistic Expectations?

    04/03 /No Comments

    Ahh Terrible Two’s what every parent dreads.Β  Just kidding that is when they are teenagers right? I personally don’t believe in terrible two’s. I believe that adults have unrealistic expectations how they think a child should act and the adult’s response is what magnifies the child’s terrible behavior.Β  I read a piece recently by Dr. Laura Markham recently on discipline vs. teaching and it was a real eye opener for me. I am a soft one on disciplining Cooper and I may or may not let him get away with more than he should. He is two however and I am realistic in his understanding of how things should and…

    15 Steps To Handling An Angry Little Person

    10/02 /No Comments

    We are going through the temper tantrum stage currently and I have read several wonderful pieces on dealing with anger and outbursts in my toddler. I realize that he is tiny yet and he does not have the skills to manage his emotions. I also remind myself that I am an adult and have moments where I do not manage my emotions well so having compassion for him during this time is crucial. I found a fantastic article by Dr. Laura Markham ,creator of Aha! Parenting, that really put things into perspective. She breaks down the why and how not to react while giving great advice on how to handle…
