So if you have been keeping up with me on Instagram, then you know my baby girl and toddler are currently sharing a room. If you aren’t following me, then I will share that short video of their shared bedroom below. For anyone who is new here, I currently have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old. And they have been sharing a bedroom since my youngest was 6 months old. Ever since I shared on Instagram my girls’ shared bedroom, I have been asked about our experience on what is like with a 1-year-old and 3-year-old sharing a room. And it…

I don’t know about you all but the witching hour with a baby and toddler can be a bit crazy in our house. For those who don’t know, I have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old at home with me and it is as if they become different people when the clock strikes 5 in the evenings. During the day, they are mostly calm. Well, as calm as a baby and toddler can be. In the mornings, they are both at their calmest. They are just waking up, eating breakfast, and getting ready for the day so nothing too crazy is…

Now that we are a family of 4 with 2 smaller children 3 and under, if we decide to take an airplane, we will be flying with a baby and toddler. My in-laws live almost 11 hours from us so if we don’t drive the whole way, then we will likely fly. We have driven this road trip with a baby and toddler before which isn’t completely terrible. But if I had a preference, I would absolutely choose to fly. We currently have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old so if given the choice to choose between an 11-hour trip or…

With summer in full swing here, I want to share the summer essentials I use with my 1-year-old baby and 3-year-old toddler. In January of this year, I talked about what it was like to care for my baby girl during the winter and included some of my must-haves that we use in that post. Some of you all appreciated those tips in that post, so I also figured I do a similar post during the summer. This is the time of year when everybody is ready to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine which is exactly…

With Father’s Day approaching, I wanted to share some gift ideas for the second time dads in our lives. If you have been keeping up on the blog, then you know that I’m a mom of 2. I have a 1-year-old baby girl and a 3-year-old daughter that I share with my husband making him a dad of 2 as well. During this month, I have been talking about my husband quite a bit on the blog At the beginning of this month, I started out discussing how I have been reconnecting with him after having our baby girl last…

Embracing being a girl dad was something that came naturally to my husband. This is really surprising considering that he wanted a boy both times I have been pregnant. To be completely honest, we both wanted boys both times I have been pregnant. When we found out both times that we were having girls, my husband actually took it really well and embraced that we were having healthy baby girls. I was actually the one that suffered from some minor gender disappointment. I know that my husband wants a son as I do one day but it just hasn’t been…

After having our baby girl last year, my husband and I have been making sure we are reconnecting and finding time for one another. It is so easy to get lost in parenting once you have kids. I know my husband and I did when I had my first daughter. It was just the two of us for 5 years before I got pregnant with our first daughter. And once she got here, it really changed up the dynamic that we had before and we had to adjust to being new parents. Nothing really prepares you for being a new…
