Living The Dream in the Mad-Town
I am a self proclaimed germ-a-phob. I fully admit that I carry hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes with me everywhere I go. I wipe down carts at department and grocery stores. I use to use those cart covers when my daughter was younger. Now there are times I think I take it too seriously and [...]
Since the weather has started to be nice and warm we are outside ALL the time! I am always trying to think of new crafty projects that my almost three year old can do. She was really excited when I told her we were going to make our own bird feeders. In fact, her response [...]
There as been a recent issue in our house. This issue has plagued us for months. You see, at 33 months, my son is right in between the big boy cup (meaning without a topper) and the sippy cups. He wants to have a cup like ours, but hasn’t quite mastered the art of sipping [...]

My family and some good friends just came back from a week long vacation in the Virgin Islands, so I thought a post on traveling with a toddler would be a genius idea (or at least it seemed to be after several glasses of vino). Here is our idea of how to make the best [...]
Christmas is my favorite time of year! We’ve been listening to Christmas music in my house since November 1st. I’m out of control, I know.
