With an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old in our house, most days feel like we're juggling one-handed in a circus, caught in the middle of a tornado. In fact, it seems like just about every day there's a new bunch of 'firsts' happening in our house... like, you know, the...
So, here’s the situation guys. I don’t like fish. At all. In fact, the only time I’ll actually eat it is if someone else prepares it, because I just can’t stomach the smell of it (which I realize sounds dramatic, but it’s definitely accurate). My husband also isn’t a...
If you have toddlers in your house, you know that snacks are a fact of life. Like a non-stop, all-the-time, can’t-survive-without-them fact of life. In fact, finding snacks that my kids love AND that I’m happy giving them can feel like a full-time job. Especially when...

I love fall. There’s something about the crisp air, the chunky sweaters, and all the deeelicious comfort foods that just get me. And all of that goodness inevitably bleeds into the food our family eats. I mean, if I had my way, I’d be eating a roasted turkey with all...
Emmett’s the big brother in our house. Most days it’s a role he takes on willingly, and let me tell you, he embraces his role as the baby-safety police wholeheartedly, “no Char-wee, we don’t chew books” or “no Char-wee, that toy’s not safe. It has tiny pieces”. I mean...
We were lucky enough to have a chat with Sarah Remmer, Registered Dietitian and Family Nutrition Expert about what we feed our baby. And because it's so top of mind for us right now, we asked her some of our (and your!) burning baby nutrition questions. Let's just...
My front line product tester, side kick, fun-seeker, sleep-boycotter, and ultimate joy! We're a team! Oh, and did I mention he has a little baby sister too?!
