Parenting is tough stuff. I remember when I was pregnant I immersed myself in all things baby. The best baby products. The best breastfeeding items. The best baby engagement products so my baby would be stimulated in all ways to encourage amazing brain development (insert my eye roll here). You get the point. When my […]

Dear Dads: You Most Definitely Matter
My son’s kindergarten teacher uses a fabulous app called Seesaw. (No, this is not a sponsored post). The kids post to it during class as part of their learning center project.

I Did Not ‘Red Shirt’ My Kindergartner
In my state, a child can attend Kindergarten if he reaches the age of five before July 31st. My son’s birthday is July 17th and guess what? I did not send him to Kindergarten this past Fall. Would he have been ready? Sure! Many parents make the case that their kid is ready because they know […]
How I said goodbye to breastfeeding
As a full-time working mom I needed a reliable breastpump to get me through my time away from my kids.
