Gift Guide: For One Year Old
Check out my previous holiday gift guide for Santa Sacks for 1 Year Olds here. Links updated! This year I have to shop for TWO kids – it’s the first time and I’m feeling the pressure! But to be honest, our kids are super lucky they get tons of new toys throughout the year thanks…

Gift Guide: For Her
It’s been awhile since I did a gift guide for me, or for moms. It’s easy for us to overlook our own needs when we have others to love and care for – kids, husbands, family members, pets. You know the drill. These are products I’ve used that I’m recommending – some will com with…

Things That My 9 Month Old Does That *Just Make Sense* (An Unintended Lesson in Baby Proofing // 9 Months of James Update A Little Late)
Have you seen the trend on Reels/TikTok where it’s like that Italian music overlaid over “things that just make sense” for certain situations?

When can my baby use a play mat and what are the benefits? {Wunderkids}

8 Months of James (The Troublemaker)
This last month has been a busy time for James! If you saw our 7 month update, you’ll know that James started crawling last month – at the end of this past one, he started reciprocal crawling which is crawling on hands and knees (vs. the army crawling he was doing before). So now he…

Is it a cold, the flu or a stomach bug?
This is a post I’ve been meaning to do for a long while – and with cold season approaching and some time on my hands to get it done, here it finally is. I commonly hear people refer to a stomach bug (more formally known as gastroenteritis) as the “stomach flu“. Hell, before I went…

Correlation VS. Causation (Back to Basics: Tools We Need to Understand Health Information)
I recently saw a really distasteful and misinformed post on Instagram – ok I realize that could refer to like millions of IG posts really, but there was one in particular which I do not want to link (so it doesn’t get more reach) that used the word correlation to reference a relationship between two…
