So, potty training. It’s one of those motherhood milestones. You know the ones. The ones we spend hours thinking, worrying, researching and reading about. We ask three friends what worked for them, we look at every kid who might be remotely the same age as ours to see...
Toy Organization and Purge
Remember that time we came home from the Holidays, unpacked everything, and realized we were droooowning in toys?! Yep, me too. It was high time for a good old fashioned toy organization/purge in this house, and of course, we filmed all the madness for you! For us,...
A Letter to My Big Boy on His Third Birthday
I thought a lot about that title. Big Boy. I mean, some days I’m barely able to admit you’re not my baby anymore. But then, some days I’m overwhelmed by the amazing kid you’re growing into. This year you’ve grown into yourself in remarkable ways. Somehow the change...
24 Days of Kindness for Preschoolers

The Toddler Who Wanted to Be a Baby
