Oh this long weekend was NOT fun. I’ve been talking about potty training non-stop for about 2 weeks. Waxing poetic about my love for the Oh, Crap potty training method (more on our experience with Oh Crap potty training & Piper here) and low and behold of course Flora was not interested in following this […]

Can’t believe we are diving into the world of potty training again next week!! It’s time. But I’m still not looking forward to it! I’ll be sharing a lot about our process potty training Flora (who is 25 months old) but wanted to start by sharing all of the gear we are using to potty […]

So we are now 4 months into our potty training journey and overall I have to say that things are going wonderful for Piper! I’m soooo glad we decided to do it when we did (at 25 1/2 months) because she was definitely ready and now I don’t have to worry about it with a newborn on my hands, too!

I haven’t shared whats in our diaper bag in a while so I thought it was about time! Now that Piper’s potty training there are a few new items I added and being pregnant I also have it full of SNACKS for myself :) We are entering our 4th week of potty training and Piper’s […]

It’s officially been a little over a week since we started potty training Piper — and I can’t say thank you enough for all the support and positive comments you’ve sent my way on Instagram. If you couldn’t tell it started out pretty rough. Brutal actually!

I literally know next to nothing about potty training– as with most of motherhood I’m learning along the way. Today I’m sharing a few tips, products and resources I’ve researched to help potty train Piper in a few weeks!

In a few weeks I’m taking my kids to The Netherlands to visit my sister. We are all so excited! My parents are coming along but my husband is not so we’ll be making the long journey alone! My kids have several long flights under their belts and I’ve learned a lot each time about […]

Have you heard of ‘calm down bottles’ ? They are a great sensory activity for your child to play with when they need a break, a quiet time or to….calm down! We’ve been using them for a while with the girls – I would say optimal age would be 18 months – 4 years. I […]

Last month I started a new monthly post where I share all of the favorite purchases, posts and social media images from the previous month. You can see everything from May here – and below are the favorites for June. Happy July – how is summer flying by so quickly? June’s Top Sellers The items […]

Oh, what a year! I think 2018 has been one of the most challenging of my personal life and career. It’s been full of highs (watching Flora grow and Piper become an amazing big sister, finally getting to experience the magic of Paris, working with some incredible brand partners) and lows (postpartum anxiety, having a […]

I recently polled The Mama Notes Inner Circle (read about it and join here) to share their best spring cleaning hacks. To be quite honest our house is a mess 80% of the time. We tried having a cleaning company come every 3 weeks but after Flora was born and we were cutting costs we […]
