Let’s Talk About: Toddlers, Television + KIDDO TV

As much as we would like to limit our children’s screen time to a minimum, we have to admit as parents that modern technology is helpful to us in moderation.

Let’s Talk About: Our Baby Food Journey + Amara

Both of my children started showing developmental signs that they were ready for food at around 5 months old.

Let’s Talk About: Nursing in Public with Bravado Designs

As a first time mom I avoided nursing in public as much as possible. It was awkward and anxiety provoking to say the least.

Let’s Talk About: Family Fun Day

Sunday is typically our day of rest. We sleep in. My husband makes a lavish breakfast. We go to church. We may nap. We may swim. And we may do as little as possible. But every once in a while we plan a #familyfunday because it’s the only day of the entire week that no one has to work. So… Read More
