Snack boxes!! I’ve seen this idea on Pinterest for years, and last summer before our 12+ hour journey to Maine I bought one to fill for Piper but ultimately decided she was still a little young (just having turned 3). But on our 6 hour trip down South last week I knew Piper was ready […]

Now that Flora’s attention span is getting a little bit longer for sensory activities I’ve been having fun coming up with a few different things to do with her every week. She had fun with this ball drop – and so did Piper! I think it’s one that she’ll come to enjoy more as she […]

Flora officially is starting to look more like a toddler than a baby and it kind of breaks my heart!! This age is so fun yet also SO exhausting. Since Flora started walking (!!!) she’s into any and everything and we constantly have to have an eye on her. We are also in major need […]

  Today we are continuing our expert series with an interview alllll about speech! Now that Flora is 1 and starting to talk speech development is definietly on my mind so I picked Carly Tulloch’s brain – she’s a pediatric speech language pathologist and I love following her on Instagram! Read on to see her […]

Today we have our first craft submission from Emily of Making It With Mommy who I love to follow on Instagram! She does the best activities with her little one. I can’t wait to try this DIY project today (giving it a Valentine’s Day twist). I hope you enjoy and if you do this with […]

This week I made Flora a sticky ‘wall’ to play with – I used to do this for Piper and she really loved it! As with most sensory activities at this age (13 months) the attention span isn’t that long, so Flora will only play for a few minutes at a time but she’s really […]

TGIF Mamas!! We had so much fun visiting Santa yesterday :) The girls tree dresses are still in stock in some sizes and they got so many compliments on them as we walked through the mall! December is flying by and I’m determined to find some down time this weekend to get our Christmas cards […]

I had on my editorial calendar to publish a big holiday bucket list today to officially kick off the holiday season. I’m a big fan of seasonal to-do lists – I enjoy coming up with a full schedule and list of things to do every fall and holiday– it’s my favorite time of year after […]

I’m so excited to team up with Abercrombie Kids to share some of the cutest kids finds this holiday season. Today, for Cyber Monday everything is 40% off and denim is 50% off! They are also offering free shipping! Piper had so much fun running around in her new scarf + hat when we went […]

Let me preface this personal essay by saying I know screen time is a controversial topic…and I’m in no way judging any moms for how much or little screen time their kids have. It’s a personal choice that every parent needs to figure out on their own. I’ve read a lot about the screen time […]

I recently shared a photo of the DIY sensory bag I made for Flora (9 months) on my Instagram stories and it couldn’t have been easier to make! All I did was take a tub of clear hair gel (pick these up for cheap at the Dollar Store) and empty it into a freezer bag. […]

SO EXCITED to share our travel guide. I decided to work on this as soon as we got home so everything would be fresh in my mind. I tried to break this up into categories – overall it’s a guide to the Acadia/MDI/Bar Harbor area and how we spent our time the past two weeks […]
