Kid & Baby Personal Care

Time for our annual clean sunscreen post! We polled our community and did our own research to share the best clean sunscreens for kids. I love when I post these polls and sooooo many people respond with the same brands – it really shows the clear winners! All of which are listed below. I’m providing […]

I’ll never remember how nervous I was to give Piper her first bath. It was a team effort with my mom and husband and we followed what my grandmother had taught my mom. Gently using a washcloth and warm water on Piper’s eyes and face, cotton balls around her eyes. We cranked up the heat […]

Tips for keeping your kids safe + on the go this summer!

As a follow up to last year’s popular sunscreen post I’m sharing our best bets for natural sunscreen this year with a few new additions so the mix. If you aren’t familiar with the EWG Skin Deep website I highly suggest checking it out – not only does it rate thousands of beauty products on […]

Oh the joys of brushing teeth :) I shouldn’t complain because 80% of the time Piper cooperates with brushing her teeth — and I think it’s because we started practicing at such an early age and have always tried to make it fun. I thought I’d share a few tips from our experience today! When […]

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 […]

We’ve been traveling with Piper since she was 4 months old and despite sleeping in small hotel rooms, unfamiliar bedrooms and most recently in a tent in Maine, Piper has rarely had any issues sleeping through the night on our trips.

I’ll admit I was pretty overwhelmed with the thought of packing for 10 days on the road with Piper for our recent trip to Maine. I started packing for us all about a week before we left and made a big checklist to ensure we wouldn’t forget anything (which we did).

Last week we ran out of diapers, which isn’t an uncommon thing around here — but we had not a single diaper in the house after Piper took her bedtime bath. So, I got out of my sweats and ran up the street to get diapers, not exactly what I feel like doing after a […]

I feel fortunate that Piper has always loved bath time from a very young age. She really looks forward to it and I can barely get her out of the tub these days, she pretends to fall asleep and says night-night until I turn off the lights to make her get out! We have a […]

Lately I’ve been on a clean beauty kick and I’ve spent countless hours researching natural beauty products to use for myself and Piper. After our recent trip to the beach I realized we really need a great sunscreen that lacks harsh chemicals but also works. I did a lot of research and these are the […]

Knock on wood, Piper hasn’t been sick too much in her 20 months of life so far. I attribute this mainly to a year of breastfeeding and being at home with a nanny and not in daycare around as many germs. Next year when she goes to school we are in for big changes! I […]
