Toddler Activities At Home (Using Stuff You Already Have)

April 11, 2020

Toddler Activities At Home (Using Stuff You Already Have)

Like many parents around the world, we are at home with our toddler. We have changed our schedules a bit so that each of us works about a half day each day, swapping parenting duties. On a good day, there’s a 2 hour nap involved. But that still leaves plenty of time for activities! I snapped photos of some of the toddler activities we've done to share. All of these are activities at home, most using stuff you already have (or can get really easily). If you have a toddler, hopefully some of …

Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers (No Candy!)

April 1, 2020

Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers (No Candy!)

When I was a kid, Easter baskets were a BIG deal. They were loaded with art supplies and fun surprises, and maybe a bit of candy. The Easter Bunny would hide them around the house, and my sisters and I would frantically search to find our own basket. We often found each other's, so it turned into helping each other out because we couldn't open them until everyone had one! We don't often give Eleanor candy (she's 2.5), so I rounded up a bunch of items that are perfect Easter basket ideas for …

Big News! Baby #2 on the Way!

I have been keeping a secret... We are due this summer with Baby 2! We took a nice long drive this weekend along the shore and decided to take some announcement photos on the beach. I love these pictures so much and plan to frame a bunch for our home! I am close in age to my two sisters (17 months apart from one and 3.5 years from the other), and both T and I are close to our siblings. We are so excited to have two kids fairly close in age. I hope they will be good …

The Best Toddler Gifts

November 30, 2019

The Best Toddler Gifts

One of the most asked-for gift guides this year was for toddlers! I'm excited that so many of you asked, because I have some good recommendations in this area. I'm lucky to have nieces and nephews who all have very different personalities, so I get to see what toys some kids love and others don't care about, and which toys seem to be universally loved. That's what today's gift guide is about: The best toddler gifts that they'll play with over and over again. ONE: Mess-free coloring is …

Why You Don’t See My Daughter’s Face

October 21, 2019

Why You Don’t See My Daughter’s Face

A couple of people have asked me about this via DM, so I thought I'd share the reasoning. No, you haven't seen Eleanor's face in a while (since just before her first birthday, to be exact). And yes, that is intentional. Most of the photos you've seen lately look a little something like this one from our trip to Sedona: T and I had a serious conversation about this a while ago. We ultimately decided that we don't want Eleanor's photo plastered all over the internet. There are plenty of …
