Discipline Your Toddler Without Yelling Or Hitting
For parents out there who didn’t know, there is a way to discipline your toddler without yelling or hitting them. I can’t believe it but I will have a 2-year-old in a little over a month. And with this age, everyone likes to warn you of those “terrible twos”. This is the stage where your toddler is very likely to begin to assert some independence, show more interest in communicating, and of course, throw tantrums. Your toddler doesn’t even have to be two yet to start experiencing some of what I just said. I began to notice my daughter had…

Where To Get Cheap Toddler Clothes
Kids grow out of clothes so quickly, that it is better to get cheap toddler clothes while they are young and growing than to spend a lot of money on clothes that they may only wear a couple of times. I can admit that when I found out that I was pregnant, I might have gone a little overboard buying baby clothes. And I was having a baby girl too. I just knew I wanted to dress her up really cute. I am talking big bows, even bigger tutus, and long frilly dresses. I realized very quickly that she was…

My 21-Month-Old Toddler Daily Schedule
We all know that children thrive off of having some sort of daily schedule or routine which is why I knew I needed a daily schedule for my 21-month-old toddler. Not only does it create structure and provide guidance, but it also just makes your day go by a lot smoother. As a stay-at-home mom, having a toddler daily schedule for my daughter is so crucial in order for both of us to thrive during the day. I won’t be the first to say it, but toddlers are crazy and unpredictable. They are full of so much energy and think…

Teaching Your Toddler Good Habits Early On
I don’t think it is ever too early to start teaching your toddler good habits. As much as we moms don’t want to let go of the baby phase, we must look forward to the next phase in childhood. Toddlerhood. And man oh man is toddlerhood truly a treat. No more immobile, babbling baby you can leave in a bouncer for a few minutes while you make yourself something to eat. Bring on the independent, walking, talking toddler who is just waiting for you to turn your head, so they get into something. Having a toddler is great. Whether you…

Shaking Off A Bad Mom Day
Ok, so you are having a bad mom day and in need of a way to shake off this bad day. Kids crying about any and everything. And your significant other is getting on your nerves and they might as well be another kid. Not to mention the house is a mess and your children just keep adding to it. It is just all-around a bad day with no end in sight. Some days don’t always start out bad. They just turn south the moment something bad happens. For me, it’s when my daughter has a big meltdown. Meltdowns can occur at any point during the…

Loving My Body After Having A Baby
I love my daughter, but learning to love my body after having a baby was something that I had to do since it was my body that brought her into this world. And I thought my body going through puberty was a crisis in itself when I was a teenager, Boy oh boy was I wrong. As a woman, I feel like we just can’t catch a break when it comes to our bodies. First, we have to deal with puberty and all that comes with it such as achy boobs and menstruation. And then we are the ones who…

Babyproofing Essentials For Your Toddler
Well, your baby is officially mobile so you are in need of babyproofing essentials to protect your baby from anything that could hurt them. Which is pretty much everything in your house. The moment my daughter started crawling was when I knew that I needed to start babyproofing our home. And when she started walking was when I had to really make sure our home was secure and safe while she explored her new legs. They call it babyproofing, but essentially you are “toddler-proofing” your home when you are taking these measures to ensure the safety of your little ones.…

It’s Time To Ditch The Mom Guilt For Good
Alright, mommas, it’s time to ditch the mom guilt. I refuse to let myself wallow in shame as a stay-at-home mom and wife, because I know I am doing the best I can. And I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be these superwomen who do everything and run ourselves into the ground doing so? Of course, we want the best for children and our families. We want to make sure they are thriving and doing well in whatever they pursuing. Yet for some odd…

My Daily Cleaning Routine As A Stay at Home Mom
When I became a stay-at-home mom, I just knew that I had to develop a daily cleaning routine that would keep my home clean and somewhat organized. Because keeping my home clean and tidy with a toddler is a lot harder than what it was before we had a child. If you have been keeping up with me, then you know that I talk a lot about my daughter who can be a little ball of chaos in a toddler’s body. All day long she is playing, eating, and getting into whatever her little hands can get a hold of. The…

How To Be A Calmer Mom With A Toddler
Now would I like to start this post off by saying that I am no expert on how to be a calmer mom with a toddler. Toddlers are an absolute handful and I’m sure my toddler moms know exactly what I am talking about. My daughter is currently 18 months and she can be complete chaos in a size 4 toddler shoe. Toddlers are at a very unique stage in life where they are walking, talking, and can do some things on their own. But they still require a lot of attention and they can’t quite verbalize everything they are…
