For my own $.02, I will admit it: I royally screwed up potty training with my eldest son, J.

Postpartum Tuesday: Oogiebear Ear and Nose Cleaner

Gear | colds· head colds· sick baby

WOW: there are a TON of new products to help when your baby has a cold. I remember being amazed at how TINY my boys’ little noses were, and how bad I felt if they got so stuffy they couldn’t sleep. At the same time, MAN did they hate the sprays, the Snotsucker, the Boogie wipes … Read More about Postpartum Tuesday: Oogiebear Ear and Nose Cleaner

3 Ways to Teach Kids a New Language

Extracurriculars· Grade Schoolers· Lifestyle· Parenting· Toddlers | language skills· learning· posts

I still remember the big day in 6th grade that we got to choose the foreign language that we’d start learning: Spanish, French, or German. (I picked Spanish.) Many schools in the U.S. still don’t begin to teach kids a new language until middle school, while most European countries, for example, start instruction of a second language when kids are six to nine years … Read More about 3 Ways to Teach Kids a New Language

A Mom’s Guide to Remembering the Little Things

Lifestyle· Mom Issues· Parenting | family albums· family memories· family pictures· keepsake journals· memories· photo albums· pictures· posts· quotes

These years go quickly, don’t they? They’re filled with so much fun and wonder — some of it captured by photos, some of it captured by videos. But there’s more than just the pictures, and I’m such a sentimentalist I want to memorialize and remember all of it: the quotes, the daily schedule, the obsessions of the moment, … Read More about A Mom’s Guide to Remembering the Little Things

Feeding Tuesday: Dishwasher Safe Divided Plate

Gear

My eldest is in that phase where none of his food can touch (and he also eats about a third of the foods he used to eat when he was an adventurous toddler), and I’ve just kind of decided to lean in rather than wringing my hands over it too much. I bought some beautiful … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Dishwasher Safe Divided Plate

What are some of your best tips for adjusting upon returning to work after maternity leave? What do you wish you’d known, or what did you come to realize?

Which Are Your Child’s Favorite Books — And How Do You Find Them?

Mom Issues· Parenting | books· memories· photos· posts

If you’re like me, I’m guessing books were huge to you growing up — I proudly considered myself a bookworm for years. (I’m trying to get back to it, but I read more articles than books at this point in my life!) For my boys, I’ve always tried to encourage reading, sometimes by adding in … Read More about Which Are Your Child’s Favorite Books — And How Do You Find Them?

The Head Cold vs. Your Baby

Babies· Parenting | bedtime· colds· head colds· sick baby

When my first son, J, was a baby and toddler, his colds were the worst. I remember hanging out on the floor of our little bathroom with the shower on full-blast. Steam filled the air as I tried to keep him entertained — and sweated like a fiend in my sweater. (Since I worried his little body might get overheated … Read More about The Head Cold vs. Your Baby

Do your kids go to school break camps during winter and spring school vacations? With day care, you usually don’t have to worry — just send them to your regular provider. But parents of school-age kids need to find an alternative child care situation. Good sources for information about school break camps include local parent magazines and websites, and … Read More about School Break Camps: Open Thread
