Language Learning for Toddlers!
This is a sponsored post for Kadho. All opinions are mine alone. My son has far surpassed his age group in the ability to speak and communicate.

As you can see, my Little Man not only gets … [Read more...]

And I realize, with a lot of mommy guilt, that they've heard me say similar things to them as well this past week. They fight EVERY SINGLE DAY. If only they got … [Read more...]
