When I first found out we were adding a little boy to our all-girl broad, I wasn't sure how he would fit in with the tulle, glitter, and tutus. How would our dynamic change, and more important- how do we add boy inspired toys to the mix?

My little guy is on the move! While he loves to spend time rolling around on the floor and practicing tummy time, he gets bored of not being able to sit up and see everyone with ease. It was time for an activity center, but with so many options out there it was hard to choose the one we thought would be perfect for him - until we found the Kolcraft 2 in 1 Activity Walker. What intrigued me most about this model is the slim design and the ability ...

Beautiful Table Decor from Teleflora #SendCheer
My girls look forward to decorating for the holidays. They make it a point to ensure every room has something festive. This is the first year that I gave the girls full reign over all the decorations- in part because I've had quite a hectic two months with everyone taking turns being sick.
