Nursery Essentials Featuring Newborn Nursery Furniture
As a mama of 2, I have realized that I have never shared the nursery essentials that I love to have in a baby room. I have shared what it is like to create a nursery nook in our bedroom for a newborn. But not actually what I like to have in a nursery itself when I have the chance to have one. If you all have been keeping up with the blog or my social media, then you would know in our previous home, my youngest didn’t have a nursery. Our girls actually shared a bedroom. And even though…

Summer Learning Activities To Do With 4-Year-Old Preschoolers
Just because my 4-year-old is out of school, doesn’t mean that I can’t incorporate some fun summer learning activities for her. We are deep into the middle of the summer and we have been doing all the summer things. From summer camps to swimming to playing at parks to visiting the zoo. And even going on a family vacation. We have been having a blast this summer because that is what summer is about. But even with it being summer, I still think it’s important that my daughter is still learning so that by the time the school year rolls…

Advice For Second-Time Moms
After two years of being a second-time mom, I figured that I offer some advice for second-time moms that they may find helpful. When I was pregnant with my second daughter, I had so many thoughts cross my mind. Would I be able to handle two young children at once? How is my older daughter going to react to her baby sister? If you are either considering becoming a second-time mom or are currently pregnant with your second child, then you have likely had these same thoughts as well. While I was pregnant with my younger daughter, I tried to…

Starting A Blog As A Stay At Home Mom
After being in the blogging game for 3 years, I am finally talking about how I started a blog as a stay-at-home mom. For those that know about me, then you may know how this journey started. But for those who don’t, here is a quick recap. I started this blog in 2020 as a stay-at-home mom of just 1 back then. My oldest daughter was 18 months old at the time and I ultimately started this blog as an outlet for myself. I was really struggling mentally as a new stay-at-home mom and trying to find an identity outside…

Early Potty Training Practices For 1-Year-Olds
We are definitely in the early phases of potty training my 1-year-old daughter. For those new here, I have a 22-month-old daughter and a 4-year-old daughter. With my first daughter, we were able to get her potty trained by 2 and a half. So we are naturally hoping to do the same with our second daughter. If yall have been keeping up with the blog, then you have probably noticed a bit of a pattern with our second child. She has been hitting milestones a little sooner than her older sister. The only exceptions have been that she is still…

Extracurricular Activities For 4-Year-Old Girls
With Spring here, I started looking into some extracurricular activities that are great for 4-year-old girls. When I was a kid, I loved playing sports and doing activities outside of school. So naturally, I want to get my child involved in some activities in the hopes that she will also develop a love for sports as well. Last year when my daughter was 3, we decided to enroll in soccer lessons to see if she would like it. And she absolutely loved it! In fact, she has been asking lately when can she go back to her soccer lessons. So…

How I Cope With Feeling Touched Out As A Mom Of 2
As a mom of 2, it is really easy for me to start feeling touched out. For anyone who may be new here, I have an almost 2-year-old (22 months) and a 4-year-old. So I have smaller children. And I’m also a stay-at-home mom so this mama is in mom mode 24/7. I can only speak from my perspective as a stay-at-home mom of 2, but there is a point by the end of each day when I start feeling overstimulated and touched out. Between tending to and breastfeeding my toddler all day and then trying to tend to everyone…

What To Expect Extended Breastfeeding A 21 Month Old Toddler
I can honestly say that I didn’t realize that I would still be breastfeeding my daughter who is now 21 months old. But here we are. When I started this breastfeeding journey for a second time, I didn’t have an end goal in mind. My first daughter weaned herself by 18 months, so I naturally figured that my second daughter would probably wean herself around a year and a half as well. Boy, I was wrong. Not only am I still breastfeeding, but I still don’t see an end in sight. My daughter turns 2 in a few months and…
