Stay One Step Ahead of the Stomach Bug: Must-Have Essentials for Your Home

We recently battled the stomach bug in our house and let me tell you - the stomach virus is no fun when it takes one parent down along with a little toddler who doesn’t fully know what is going on or how to tell you they are sick! I wanted to share with you all the must-have essentials that I think every household should have to combat the stomach bug effectively. These are all items that I have and used this time around (or put in my cart!) and I think they will be so helpful for you to have stocked up and at the ready for the next time that you are battling the dreaded stomach bug!

Don't let the stomach bug catch you off guard! Arm yourself with the right household essentials and knowledge to protect your loved ones from this common but pesky illness.

How To Keep Track of Your Kids' Memories & Milestones

When I was younger, I used to journal all. of. the. time. - but now that I’m older, I find it is much harder to stay on top of writing things down or tracking fun memories and moments of not only my life, but also for my kids. I love all of the fun ideas for keeping track of your kids’ memories and milestones, but I often find it hard to know when or how often to write something down, or even what exactly to write or say. I often draw a blank. I’m sure our life is exciting and fun and worth sharing, but where do I begin?

Ollie's Library Book Haul - February 2022

I thought it would be fun to share Ollie’s library hauls on the blog and give you my thoughts on each of the books that we read and share how our toddler seemed to enjoy the books (or not)!
