After all of the hard work you have put in over the past two years to get your little one sleeping well, you have once again hit another regression! Many people are not familiar with this regression, but it can be a doozy. However, it might give you a little comfort knowing that this is typically the last regression we see with good sleepers, so once you are over this hump it s ...

I remember at one point when all three of my little ones were still little, I thought I might never again sleep through the night. But alas, I have made it to the other side to blissful sleep once again! I remember the days when I would wreck my brain trying to figure out why my babies would not sleep through the night.

I will be the first to admit that I am probably the mom that lets her kids play a little too wild, the mom that tests the limits, the mom that does not take every precaution with my littles.

I have gone through phases during this past year of both encouragement and disappointment. One moment it seems like things are starting to go back the way they were, and the next day it seems like we are taking steps back once again.

I remember one night sitting downstairs watching tv shortly after putting my kids to bed, and all of a sudden, I heard my 3 year old son start to scream. I figured he was having a bad dream, so I ran upstairs to try and console him. I picked him up and held him while rocking him to try and calm him down. I quickly realized he was not calming down, and in fact it almost seemed l ...

It’s that time of year again when the holidays are right around the corner, and travel plans are needing to be scheduled if you don’t want to get stuck last minute with an outrageously expensive flight to visit family. When traveling with little ones, booking the flight is the easy part; the day of traveling is the hard part! You are traveling with a baby, and maybe even a todd ...

I remember the exact night I became afraid of the dark. Without my parents knowing, I snuck into the living room while my older brother was watching “Child’s Play” starring the Chucky Doll for his birthday party and I saw things a 5 year old should never see! That was the night when darkness and I stopped being friends, and the demand for a nightlight was made. Fear of the dar ...

One of the trickiest parts about baby/toddler sleep is navigating those darn naps, am I right?! As a stay at home parent that also works, I rely on consistent and lengthy naps during the day so that I can get a few things checked off of my to-do list. So, when those naps are not going as planned, this mama tends to get a little flustered. Navigating naps can be tricky because ...

Summer is approaching, which means warmer weather, more sun and more fun! It is a season we all welcome after a cold winter and wet spring! Unfortunately, all that extra daylight can also have a negative impact on our sleep and our children’s sleep if we are not paying close attention to it. It is very tempting with the longer days, to stay out late and enjoy the warm evenings ...
