I participated in Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Baby Mantra. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. During the summer months both of my children get dry skin from our local community pool. Then with the dry weather in the fall and winter I am still dealing with dry and sensitive skin. My daughter has worse dry skin and eczema issues than my son. But they both struggle with dry skin. I have … [Read more...]
Potty Training? You Need to Check This Out
This is a sponsored post for Pull-Ups. I received samples for this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. So my Little Man is 28 months old and we are potty training. We still have a ways to go, but he is doing good. If I stay consistent each day with this, he does quite well. Plus, he is starting to tell me when we are out and about when he has to go. That is a big plus. Potty training is a hard job isn't it? Maybe some kids have an easy time with it, but it has … [Read more...]
Easily Get DHA in Your Toddler’s Diet
Toddlers are picky. I am thankful to Enfagrow for sponsoring today's post. Do you know what DHA is? Do you know if your children are getting this important nutrient? Toddlers have a tendency to be picky and DHA is one key nutrient that’s particularly hard to get from the foods toddlers typically eat. Did you know that on average, toddlers are only getting about 25% of the brain-nourishing DHA many experts recommend? That means it is important for parents to take action and work to close … [Read more...]
10 Things You Should Do When Your Baby is Sleeping
I have two kids. Neither of them slept well on their own the first two years of their life. I made the choice to breastfeed them to sleep and they never could just fall asleep on their own. We co-slept as well so their sleep habits were started from day one. Here's what our equation looked like Mommy + Breastmilk = Sleep. Some days it was great. Most days it was difficult. But it went by pretty fast and I don't regret it. I'm crazy like that. You know how they say, "Moms nap when your baby … [Read more...]
Six Tips to Brush Toddler Teeth
My daughter was such an easy toddler. I didn't realize it until I now have a very unruly toddler. My patience is tested daily and I daily fail at being a patient parent. Nothing comes easy with this Little Man - including brushing his teeth. To be honest, when we force him he sometimes just cries. But when he cries with his mouth wide open, we don't mind, because then we can brush all his teeth more easily. Terrible, right? We have talked to the dental hygienist and dentist and we are … [Read more...]

He Loves Riding His Push Vehicles
This post brought to you by Huggies® Little Movers. All opinions are 100% mine. It has become impossible to keep my Little Man still. He literally is always on the go. The upside? He sleeps really well at night, much better than his sister did when she was 2 years old. The downside? I am so tired - all the time! His current favorite thing to do at home right now is to ride on his push vehicles. I won't even tell you how many different push vehicles we have (it's embarrassing) but he rides … [Read more...]
