One of the great side benefits to sharing our lives in this little corner of the internet, is that I take a lot of pictures. My kids have an enormous number of photos of themselves, and they’re all safely tucked away in files on my hard drive. But you know what? There...
If you’ve been following along, you know that we’re slugging through those hazy crazy newborn days right now. We’re just two months into life with Charlie, and all the adjustments that come with that. And I know what you’re about to say… because I’ve felt the very...
As promised, I filmed a quick video showing some of the swaddling tips we've learned that promote healthy hip development for infants. I mention this in the video as well, but it's worth saying again: If you have any questions or concerns about your babe's health -...
A clean house, you say? Pardon? I’m pretty sure my house hasn’t been what my ‘pre-children’ self would consider clean, for roughly two years. That being said, despite the chaos, I’m not willing to let things go completely. Firstly, because we’re going to have lots of...

The countdown is on, and it’s almost time for this baby to make her appearance! In my humble opinion, any day now would be just perfect. The hospital bag is packed, and the infant car seat is ready to go in the car. So now, all that’s left is to think about what I’m...
Almost time to have that baby? Feeling a little stressed about what you’ll really need to pack in your hospital bag to take with you? We’ve got you covered with our trusty Hospital Bag Checklist (and read to the end for a sweet little twist!). Okay, lets start with...
So, we’re firmly in our new routine these days. Pre-school three mornings a week for Emmett, which he officially now loves! The end goal is to give me and the new babe a couple of hours, a few times a week to bond one on one (or, you know, nap together). There’s so...
