I’m far from a sleep expert. Heck, I’m one of those people who gives you a blank stare if you tell me to “sleep when the baby sleeps.” I still try to find 5-10 presleep minutes to read or mindlessly check social media on a work night as the kids (and, sometimes, husband) slumber away.

But, I’m concerned about the kids’ sleep schedules. With daylight saving time fast approaching, I get a little frantic about how it’ll affect everyone in the house.

So, I did a bit of research and found a couple of great resources that I thought I’d share with you. And if you don’t have the time to peruse each one, I’ve given a quick review/summary of them to make it even easier on you.

For the record, we have a five-year-old boy, a 2-year-old girl, and a 4-month-old girl. My husband and I both work full-time. … Read More

We have two great products up for grabs this week, Booty Luster and Thirsties Wet Bag! With a refreshing lavender scent, the Booty Luster formula is an alcohol free, non-toxic, non-irritating solution that cleanses, soothes, and aids in diaper rash prevention. Thirsties’  Wet Bag is a fashionable, yet practical solution for storing your soiled diapers, especially on the go! Thirsties Wet Bag is suitable storage for a full day away from home as it can hold up to eight diapers. Waterproof TPU laminate and fully-taped waterproof seams prevent leaking and wicking keeping everything else in your bag dry. The cute, color-coordinated snap handle may be used to hang from a doorknob or to wrap the wet bag for easy storage in a diaper bag.

“They’ve got the right stuff…baby….”

If you’re not old enough to remember the brief but awkwardly spectacular infatuation for NKOTB, I apologize…for soooo many reasons.

But, seriously, I thought it’d be fun to meet the new “kids” (styles and other cool stuff) on our block lately. Some of these are new prints, new collections, new styles, and even new products altogether. Since I’ve been focused on our new baby, a few of these may not be BRAND new, but they’re all amazing additions to the Thirsties lineup. Maybe you’ll find an exciting new item to add to your collection – just like a “new” Joey McIntyre collectible card. *swoon*

First up is my personal favorite new print, Floribunda. This. Is. GORGEOUS. The intensity of the pattern’s colors gets me right in the feels. It’s unique and fresh (yet equally retro at the same time). I’m in love.

My kindergartener is having a blast in school. He’s learned to read and write multiple sentences at a time. His math skills are on point. He loves all of his “specials” equally. Oh, and he’s socializing like crazy.

As a matter of fact, it’s so prominent that it made an appearance on his report card.

And while I totally agree with and support his teacher (he needs to focus more and talk less), I feel it’s a valuable thing for him to be learning. Communication and social skills are pretty important…when done at the right times. 😉

As a grown-up, I feel like I’ve gotten worse at socializing. I’m awkward at topic choices, always second guess whether I offended someone when sharing my opinions, and stumble over my words darn near constantly.

The more that we, as parents, stay in and avoid seeing friends, the harder it becomes. But, I’m … Read More
