Lately, someone has been putting up a fight when it's time for bedtime. And that someone isn't me.  On a normal night, we give Hudson a bath around 6:30, then give him his milk while we read books or watch Winnie the Pooh, and then pop him in his bed and say goodnight. He usually reads a book or plays in his crib for 20 minutes or so and ... Read More

We had a nice little weekend over here. The kind that doesn't last long enough. But what weekend does? I vote three day weekends from here on out, don't you?

Since I am a working mama I also pumped at work until she was 12 months old. I was only on maternity leave for 8 weeks which meant that I spent a great deal of time pumping. In all honesty, while ...

These are the days that I don't want to ever forget. If I could bottle up Hudson right now I would. Freeze time. Keep him just like this.  Because although the days are long, the years are short. Wasn't it just yesterday that he looked like this? Now he's a big boy that can wash his hands, brush his teeth, and help feed the dog. I just ... Read More

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV” Raise your hand if you have a picky toddler!

LOVE! {two} Speaking of birthdays, did you ... Read More
