I’m so excited to celebrate Easter with Wyatt this year. He’s now a year an a half so he’ll be much more into things like an egg hunt or digging through an Easter basket. In our house growing up we had an egg and basket hunt around the first floor of the house, usually because it was either too cold outside or there was snow (that’s New England…

5 Tips for a Better Bath Time

0

Bath time has always been one of Wyatt’s favorite parts of the day. When he was an infant and would cry just because, I would give him baths to soothe him. He loved the running water and a warm washcloth on his belly. And now our little water bug would spend hours playing in the bath if we’d let him! As part of our bedtime routine from birth, (check out our whole bedtime routine HERE), bath time is a signal the day is winding down, a time to reconnect and recap our day.

However, this…

Read Across America Day is on Dr. Seuss’s birthday every year, March 2nd. As a teacher of elementary and preschool kids, this was always such a special day. I’ve worked with kids that loved reading, kids that struggled with reading, and kids that hadn’t yet found the magic of books. From day one, babies learn skills that are important for speech, language, and literacy development, and building emergent literacy skills is something…

My Simple Self-Care Routine as a Stay at Home Mom

0

Sometimes I feel frantic during the day, with Wyatt constantly on the go (making messes everywhere), and with all of our activities and responsibilities around the house, time flies. It’s hard to remember what’s important in life, sometimes self-care takes a backseat, a basic and seemingly simple part of life that shouldn’t be overlooked. When I was a “new mom” there would be days I didn’t brush my teeth or wash my face, I know it’s gross, but it’s the truth. Wyatt’s needs always came first, and sometimes I would just be too darn tired!
