The other day I checked out Harper's daycare report (a sheet her teachers send home daily with information about what she ate, diapers, what books they read, what songs they sang, activities, etc) and I noticed "jingle bells" was on the list. I asked her "did you sing jingle bells today?" "nooooooooo" "yes you did!" "noooooooo" So I started ...

Our Weekend…
Hello and Happy Sunday! We took Harper to see Santa for this first time this year and as you can tell, it went just as we expected it would. I kind of love the photo anyway!

When we were picking a vacation destination for a family trip earlier this year, I was looking into options and saw that a friend of mine had traveled to Atlantis recently with her husband and toddler son.

Holiday Gift Guide: Toddler Girl
Christmas shopping for a toddler is fun--- but I think we can all agree on one thing--- there are always too many toys! With the limited space we have, I try to make it a point to store away and/or donate toys that are no longer used or that she's grown out of, but I couldn't resist picking up some new items for the holidays.

Making (Whole) Food for Your Baby
When Harper turned six months old, nourishment became a whole new ballgame. That’s when we introduced solids, and I became interested in making my own baby food.
