Stocking Stuffers for 3-4 Year Olds

Last year I thought my 2 year old "got it" about Christmas, but this year I really think my 3 year old understands what's going on. She is able to help me wrap presents, put ornaments on the tree, and bake Christmas cookies! She even helped me hang up our stockings on the mantel. Unfortunately we're not yet past the "but I want that" stage when we're picking out gifts for others, but we'll get there ;) I get really excited about putting out Santa gifts, but I get equally as excited about …

My Experience Transitioning from 1 to 2 Kids

My Experience Transitioning from 1 to 2 Kids

I was overjoyed when we found out that we were pregnant again, but soon I started to worry what would happen when we transitioned to 2 kids. (At first I called this post "going from 1 to 2 kids," but the reality is that it is truly a transition for the whole family.) When I was still pregnant, I worried about a few things... Would my firstborn be okay with a new baby in the house? Would she feel pushed aside? Would the new baby get enough attention? How could I love someone as much as I love …

Cyber Week Sales 2020

Remember when Black Friday and Cyber Monday were two distinct days, where you either shopped in person (Black Friday) or online (Cyber Monday)? Yeah, those days are long gone, my friends. Now we're in this weird world where Black Friday deals were released on November 1, and you don't have to set foot in a store to get the best deal. I'm rounding up some amazing deals here. I wasn't going to post Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales this year, since I haven't been really excited about much …

25 Gifts for a 3 Year Old Girl

Some of these gifts are geared toward a 3 year old girl, but many of them are gender neutral. I went looking for the best gifts for a 3 year old with my own daughter in mind. You already know that we love to do crafts and that I am not a fan of electronic toys. I'm really trying to concentrate this Christmas on giving my kids gifts that can last for years and years.

Matching Christmas Outfits for Siblings

I am leaning in HARD this year to the Christmas season, including fun matching Christmas outfits for my kids. But I'm not talking just matching red plaid outfits for Christmas day. What about matching Christmas day outfits, plus Christmas pajamas and coordinating sweatshirts with Christmas movie quotes? Like I said, leaning in HARD. I pulled together some festive coordinating outfits for siblings below, including red plaid if you like that, green plaid if you aren't into red, and then some …
