The Best Teething Guards

I will never forget the morning I walked in and saw bite marks on my son's crib.  A crib that I had hoped to pass down to future children now had small bite marks all over it.  I quickly took my questions to the internet and started researching all things crib teething.

Baby Registry Regrets

If you’re expecting your first baby, your Facebook and Instagram feeds are probably filled with ads for “must have” baby products.

From swaddles that promise the best night’s sleep, to playmats that guarantee a higher IQ, there’s no shortage of products for new parents to consider.

Benefits of Reading to Your Toddler

Benefits of Reading to Your Toddler

Reading to toddlers always involves being interrupted, skipping pages, and conversing as much as reading. To some it may like an annoying waste of time, but this is actually exactly what your child needs at this stage! You can never go wrong with a good book.

I'll admit it: I love a pretty pink and blue nursery. It sounds overly cliche, but I find it to be so classic. Traditional nursery colors are all well and good, but I love finding colors that compliment EVERYTHING. Not to mention, colors can effect our little ones that are staying in these rooms!

Baby Gear: Splurge or Save?

Prepping for baby and his/her nursery is supposed to be one of the most exciting things for a new parents-to-be. But… what is supposed to be fun and exciting often turns into a stressful shopping trip where you buy everything or put everything on the registry that anyone and everyone you know has recommended.
