I bet you read the title of this, and thought, “Yeah, right.” What is this “fashion” you speak of? And by accessories, do you mean the snot my kid just wiped on my pants?
YES. That is exactly what I...
As I sit here on the carpet in my son’s nursery folding yet another batch of clothes for the attic that are too snug for him, I had an epiphany. Grief in motherhood is always in season. Out of...
Ah, the terrible twos. Turns out they're not so terrible compared to the threes. I thought it was a myth. But a few months before Little Bit's third birthday, we began seeing the signs. The signs of a threeanger....
Under age 2, children develop important cognitive, language, sensorimotor, and social-emotional skills through hands-on exploration and social interaction. Media use for this age group should only occur when an adult is standing by to co-view, talk and teach.

Toddlers are tiny tornadoes of destruction. They can tear apart a tidy room in about five minutes. Certainly NOT what you’d call conducive to keeping an immaculate house. Heck, I am not conducive to keeping an immaculate house. Neither...
My first born, by a stroke of luck, wasn’t very toddler-y. Don’t get me wrong, she had her own host of issues, but shoving things in her mouth wasn’t one of them. If I am being honest, I did...

I'm a mom of two kids, a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old. You can imagine the number of things I am asked in a day (like 4,632 questions a minute), most of which are crazy and impossible. However, I realized lately I'm so...
Since having my daughter a scant 15 months ago, I have worked hard to reclaim my body. But not in the way all those glossy magazines would have you do it.
I’ve worked to reclaim the saggy skin around my...
Dear one-year-ago me,
I remember the pain of that last month of pregnancy. Your pelvis aches every moment of the day – the only difference is whether it’s merely uncomfortable or outright painful. You can hardly sleep between the heartburn,...
When my boys were babies, I loved giving them a bath. Carefully bathing them as they smiled and cooed. Watching them splash in the water and play in the bubbles. And who doesn't love giving their little baby a...
The other day my husband announced to me that we really needed to start working on our son's literacy skills.
I tilted my head and was like, "What do you mean?"
In my mind, our son is essentially a literary genius. I...
