Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! My children are now 6 and 4 and though I've gotten a ton of questions about the topic, I've never dedicated a full post to potty training - until now! Potty training has so many ups and downs and each child is so different - but the biggest lesson I learned throughout the process is that ...

Toys Our Kids Love That Encourage Continued Learning at Home
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! Harper and Lincoln are 2-and-a-half years apart in age and at almost 4 and 6, they’re really getting into playing together lately and enjoying the same toys. I noticed that their favorite toys seem to be ones where they build, create, explore and get creative – and I thought about how these toys are ...
Our Favorite Children’s Books
I was a total bookworm as a child and I love reading to Harper and Lincoln so much. Though I'm a total audible addict now since I can listen while I commute to and from work, there's nothing better than a children's book with a great story and beautiful illlustrations. I plan to share my audible favorites soon - stay tuned! Audible has seriously ...
Transitioning Your Toddler from a Highchair to a Booster Chair
When Harper was an infant, I ordered the Boon Flair highchair (see my review here) and we used that for her entire baby/toddlerhood. Lincoln started eating solids at 7 months old and Harper was still using the Boon (without the tray) at this time because it was a great height for her to eat at our kitchen island. So, we purchased an IKEA highchair ...
H&M Picks for Girls
I haven't shared a kids clothing favorites post in a long time so this is way overdue. I was checking out H&M the other day and they have so many cute pieces right now. Below are my favorites for girls - I love that there are still a lot of pastels to transition into fall for those of us still seeing days in the 80s and 90s. H&M clothes ...
How To Get Rid of Your Child’s Pacifier
How to get rid of a pacifier has been a highly-requested post, so after this same method worked for both of my children, I feel confident enough to recommend it. 2.5 years old felt like the right age for both kids to start talking about getting rid of “paci.” Both Harper and Lincoln used pacis from the time they were born (they both loved the MAM ...
The One Child Safety Item You May Be Missing at Home & Why You Need It
When we had our home baby-proofed as Harper became mobile, the company that baby-proofed our home installed a top of door security latch on both our front and garage entry doors. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but over the years I’ve come to realize it’s one of the most important things you have in your home and that every parent should ...
Holiday Outfits For Kids
Every year, I can't believe how quickly the holidays come! It's like I look forward to Christmas all year and then a week before, I'm scrambling trying to get all of my gifts purchased and wrapped. Amid all of the chaos, the holidays are a time to dress-up, and that goes for kids wear too! I love getting the kids all dressed up for special events ...
Festive Casual Outfits for Toddler Girls
Ever since I had children, I think I have way more fun shopping for them than I do for myself -- especially when it comes to festive holiday outfits! I picked up the cutest sparkle peplum tunic for Harper at Nordstrom recently -- it also comes in sparkly red and ivory. Harper said this tunic reminded her of Elsa, so I basically felt like mom of ...
How to Make Surprise Eggs for Your Kids + What to Order
I was blown away by the amount of direct messages on Instagram about the surprise eggs Kevin put together for Christmas this year. Kevin has always been a really thoughtful gift-giver and the kids are going to freak when they see these! I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning when they realize they have their own surprise eggs to ...
