I have the most amazing memories of playing outside for hours with my sisters and our neighbors, especially in the summer months. So whenever my kids ask to play outside, I try to say yes - no matter what we're doing. Getting kids to play outdoors can be fun and beneficial for them, too. I can totally see the difference in my kids' energy when they spend more time outdoors. They sleep better, they're happier... it's just great for all of us. That said, you don't have to stock your backyard …

Our 5 Favorite Baby Washes
There are SO many baby wash products that it's really hard to choose what's best. Even when you narrow the list down to sulfate-free, fragrance-free products, there are still way too many!

Traveling with a Car Seat: Tips & Tricks
Traveling with little ones is kind of daunting at first. But I promise once you get the hang of it you will want to go everywhere on your bucket list! A huge question in traveling with babies or toddlers is about the car seat. What's the best car seat to travel with on a plane, in particular. As we're getting ready to travel by air again soon, I thought I'd share what worked well for us with our first child (in the before times). We traveled with our daughter as a lap infant until she was …
Best Kitchen Helper Stool for Toddlers
We have had this kitchen helper stool for nearly 3 years, and it's one of the kid items I always recommend. Oftentimes people will ask me for a recommendation for a gift for "the kid who has everything" - and this is it. Baby, toddler, preschooler- everyone loves this kitchen stool! Both of my kids can fit on it at one time, which they do every Sunday (deemed Pancake Day at our house) and sometimes during the week, too. This photo is from nearly 2 years ago - I can't believe how tiny my girl …
