Who knew kids would get so excited about new cups! We are so thrilled to continue this partnership with Nuby because since the kids bring their sippy/water cups everywhere with them, they tend to get misplaced a lot, so it's nice to have a little stash of them. Not only is a supply awesome to …
FOUR
*Note, this post was written in July. We celebrated Roen's birthday but I never published this, so here it is a few months later. We're less than a month away from Roen turning 4, and I look back and wonder how the heck that happened! When did my chubby cheek baby grow into a smart, …
Water Baby
Born in the water, it's no surprise that Gryffin LOVES splashing around. Bath time is a special treat for him every time. Even though simply just being in water is enough to keep him happy, I think he really appreciated adding some bath toys! The Nuby Hippo Spout Guard is perfect for protecting him from …
My Last Stroller
So it's no secret that I am not a runner. My best time running a mile in any grade was 9 minutes, and I would never choose to run for fun. The only running I do is when it's after my kids! So when I set out to find a single stroller, one that would …
Baby-Led Weaning
If you're a mom, you may have seen others talking about BLW when they talk about what they feed their babies. I always wondered what it was, but never cared much to look into it when Roen was a baby. My pediatrician did us a disservice by telling me I could start rice cereal with …
How to Survive a Teething Baby
They say that an adult wouldn't be able to handle the pain of teething that all babies experience without some heavy medication. The thought of that makes me so sad for my sweet Gryffin, and every other baby. My bottom wisdom tooth just broke through, and I joked with my husband that I rather go …
Baby Feeding Essential
If you've been following along our journey with a newborn, you know that we battled a painful bout of thrush for 2 weeks. Anyone that's gone through it themselves or with a newborn knows how hard it is to get rid of! Everything has to be sterilized. It was frustrating having to constantly boil bottles …
Gryffin is four months old, and Roen is nearly 3 and a half. By now, I should know Gryffin's schedule. I should know how to handle Roen's tantrums because I've seen them several times before. I should know what each of Gryffin's different cries mean. I should know a lot of things by now. But …
Yes, I’m Sure
I can't recall picturing what kind of mom I'd be before I became one, other then when my own mom and I got into an argument, as most teenagers do with their mothers, and thought to myself, "I'll never do that when I'm a mom." Even when I found out I was pregnant, I didn't …
Mom So Hard
I'm currently sitting on the couch while my toddler has yet another TV dinner while watching Moana... for the 100th time. The baby is in the rocker just a foot away from me. Every time he moves, I go into a little panic at the thought of him going into a 2 and a half …
