Daily Chores For 3-Year-Old Toddlers
Now that my older daughter is a 3-year-old, she has started participating in some of the chores we do daily around our home. In a previous post, I talked about how I keep my home clean with a baby and toddler and I had mentioned in that post that my daughter likes to help out with some of the cleaning tasks. My daughter is in that really helpful stage in toddlerhood where she wants to help with a lot of what we are doing. So we do our best to include her. By her helping with chores and other cleaning…

Nap Schedule For My 10-Month-Old Baby
I have been testing out a nap schedule for my 10-month-old baby girl and it has so far been really helpful. I have found naps at this age to be really tricky. My baby girl is in that stage where she doesn’t really need that third nap in the afternoon anymore and it shows. Before, I was able to lay her down in the early part of the evening for about 30-45 minutes for a cat nap that would hold her over until bedtime. But now she fights it and would much rather stay up. And I get why she…

Keeping My Home Clean With A Baby And Toddler
It is not impossible to have a clean home with a baby and toddler. No matter how impossible it feels. Between all the baby stuff, my oldest daughter’s toys, dishes, and endless laundry, it feels like my home is constantly needing to be tidied and cleaned. I felt this same way when it was just my oldest daughter, but after my second daughter got here, it felt like the messes doubled. And as my baby girl gets older and more mobile, she is starting to create messes of her own. When there is too much “mess” around our home, I’m…

My 9-Month-Old Baby Bathtime Routine
My 9-month-old baby girl loves her bathtime routine. From the moment, she got here, she has loved the water. Unlike my older daughter who had to warm up to bathtime a few months after she got here, this child has pretty much enjoyed being in the water since she was born. So when it came to coming up with a bathtime routine, it wasn’t too hard. The main thing we had to figure out was how this was going to work out since we also have a 3-year old that is getting bathed around the same time. When she was…

What I Eat To Maintain My Milk Supply While Breastfeeding
If you want to maintain your milk supply, then what you eat matters. As a breastfeeding second-time mom, I learned with my first how important it is to make sure I’m consuming foods and drinks that will maintain and increase my milk supply. Because the last thing you want as a breastfeeding mom is your supply dropping when you have a hungry baby. I currently have a 9-month-old who is breastfeeding and not showing any signs of weaning anytime soon. My first daughter nursed for 18 months before she weaned herself. So it is possible that this baby may nurse…

Preparing My Toddler To Share A Room With A Baby
From the moment that our baby girl got here, we knew that our toddler would share her room with her baby sister. If you all have been following along on the blog then you know that made a nursery nook in our bedroom for our baby when she first arrived. And you also know that we bedshare with our baby and we still currently do. All that is left in our room for our baby girl is just a playpen in the corner that we can put her in when we are needed to keep confined and safe while we…

Floor Activities To Do With An 8-Month-Old Baby
When it comes to figuring out some activities to do with my crawling 8-month-old, I have to think about things I can do on the floor. Because that is where she is nowadays. My baby girl has been army crawling on her belly since she was 6 months old, but over the last month, she has risen up and taken off. She crawls so fast now which means she is into everything that is within her reach. The moment that she began crawling, we immediately pulled out our baby-proofing essentials such as the baby gates and cabinet locks. No more…

Productive Stay At Home Mom Tips With 2 Kids Under 3
“Jas, how you are staying productive as a stay-at-home mom with two small children?” I have been asked this question several times because as you all know I have an 8-month-old and a 3-year-old. Going from one small child to two has been interesting, to say the least especially now that my 8-month-old is mobile. But there are still things that need to be done even with both of my girls around. I consistently post on here once a week and create content to post on Instagram and Facebook throughout the week. And somehow manage to squeeze in other things…

You all have seen over on Instagram that my oldest daughter has a lot of hair and you all want to know what I did for her to have so much hair.
