I came across an article from The Wall Street Journal titled The Facebook-Free Baby—Are you a mom or dad who’s guilty of ‘oversharenting’? The cure may be to not share at all. Author Steven Leckart discusses the circumstances leading to parents sharing everything about their kids online, as well as potential repercussions for doing so. [...]

I’ve learned a slew of information by reading parenting books and websites, but often the best lessons come from the amazing mothers I’m surrounded with, particularly my own. In my few years with the role of mom, I’ve already gleaned a wealth of knowledge and guidance from my mom and, in honor of Mother’s Day, [...]

The other day, my toddler was eating strawberries and yogurt for breakfast when, with still a few bites left, he said he wanted to get down. “Here’s another bite,” my husband offered, scooping up the remaining yogurt. Thankfully our toddler didn’t hear him because I whispered to my husband, “Don’t offer him more yogurt—he already [...]

The other day my toddler wasn’t in the best of moods. It was one of those, “Let me complain about the littlest things” kind of days. He and his dad were rough housing when LO hit his dad with a plastic toy. Right away the air changed from giddiness to tension, and LO was in [...]

I wrote an awesome blog post I couldn’t wait to publish. It was one of those posts where all the words just flowed and I truly felt I had something meaningful to share with you all. Except you won’t get to read a single word because I deleted it. “Can you read this post and [...]

“Hahaha! Six ninety-nine… are you out of your mind?” That’s my husband and toddler’s inside joke (I have no clue either, but hey, whatever works). They’re both laughing it up, rolling on the ground and acting like drunk BFFs, all the while talking about being out of their minds. Rewind to about an hour ago [...]

I recently came across the book The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D. that discussed how parents can better understand how the brain functions in order to survive daily struggles while helping our kids thrive. Most of us have heard that our brains are divided into separate areas, with [...]

A few weeks ago, my toddler was scooping sand at the park. Another two-year-old walked over and stood nearby, clearly wanting to have a turn with the shovel. I told LO, “It looks like he wants to play too. Do you want to take turns scooping the shovel? Maybe you can hand him the shovel [...]

I’m so proud of LO. Last night, not only did he not cry when I left the room, but he slept through the whole night without crying. My husband went into his room at 7am and got him up. I’m hoping that he is now back to his old pattern of sleeping well and resting [...]

LO had a doctor’s appointment this past Friday, which I use as an excuse to take the day off from work. My husband decided to do the same, so we ended up with an awesome family day. The appointment was a follow-up to measure his progress with words. The doctor was very pleased to learn [...]
