Those that follow me on Instagram would know that we recently got back from a mini family vacation in the Houston area. We are no strangers to family vacations since we try to take 1 to 2 of them a year. I have written a couple of travel posts below that you can check out for tips on traveling with smaller children. But obviously, when it comes to a family vacation, you want to do things that the…

    What I Got My 2-Year-Old Daughter For Her Birthday

    Those who follow me on social media would know that my 2-year-old daughter celebrated her birthday a couple of weeks ago. To be completely honest, we have been deep into toddlerhood for a while now, but with her officially being 2 now, I have a legit toddler now! And now I’m a mom to a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old. I have really been doing this second-time mom thing for 2 years now. Well, if you keep up with the blog, then you know that when my girls have birthdays, I like to share what they received in order to give…

    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…

    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…

    Curly Hair Care Routine For My Black 1-Year-Old Toddler

    Since many of you enjoyed my curly hair care routine for my older daughter when I shared hers last year, I thought that I share what my 1-year-old routine looks like. For those that are new here, I have 2 daughters. I have a 4-year-old daughter as well as a 20-month-old toddler. When it comes to taking care of both of their hair, I started their hair care regimen early on. For the first few months, I would wash their hair a couple of times a week with baby shampoo. And then around the 6-month mark, I started washing their…

    Transitioning My 18-Month-Old Cosleeping Toddler To Her Crib

    We are finally seeing some progress with transitioning my cosleeping toddler to her crib. If you follow me on Instagram, then you may or may not remember when I shared a post last summer saying that we were attempting to start sleep training my younger daughter who was 13 months then. And I hate to admit this but we failed with sleep training her. I couldn’t stand to hear the constant crying and neither could my husband so we decided to give up and go back to cosleeping. For those who may be new here, we have been cosleeping with…

    What I Got My 18-Month-Old Daughter For Christmas

    Christmas gift guide season is here and I’m starting with what I got my 18-month-old daughter for Christmas. This was something that I started doing here on the blog last year in case anyone was looking for some Christmas gift ideas for their little ones. I can share my previous Christmas gift guides below. And now that this time of year is here again, I wanted to share what I am getting the girls again this year. Especially now that I no longer have a 6-month-old baby. A lot can change in a year. Last year my baby girl wasn’t…

    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…

    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…

    Curly Hair Care Routine For My Black Toddler

    I know some of you have been wondering about the curly hair care routine I use for my black toddler. 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. And to be honest, I’m not really sure because she has always had a lot of hair. When my first daughter was born, she was born with a lot of hair. When I was pregnant with her, I knew that she was going to come out with a…
