Ages + Stages

Guess what?! You can be a great mom, even if you're not a "little kid person." That's me. I'm not a little kid person. Yikes! Taboo subject! Before you come at me, I love so much about the little kid stage. I...

I think that every stage that Caroline has gone through I have said is my favorite, but this stage really is my favorite. Caroline is almost a year and a half old. She is so cute and so independent but...

I'm not afraid to admit it. We are a Babywise household. I have already crossed paths with quite a few Babywise opponents, but they aren't raising my child--I am. Before I go any further, let me preface this post by...

Daughter-In-Love, I think about you often.  Ever since my sweet little man came into my life, I can't take my mind off of you. What are you going to be like?  Are you going to be shy?  Will you be...

I used to be such a good mom. Then I had a kid. See, before I was a mom, I knew all the answers. I knew the secrets, the tips, the obvious dos and don’ts of motherhood. Because, I was...

My kids love dirt. Anything messy, muddy, sticky, wet, wild chaos, they love it. And I let them. I very rarely say no to making messes. Which is probably why they like it so much - because I’ve always been pretty open...

I say potty training is a saga because so far I've seen 3 different versions and am looking forward to the 4th! I'm pretty sure the 4th will start soon. There have already been indicators that he might be ready....
