I just found out my infant has a fractured clavicle. I'm still in shock over the doctor's discovery. Apparently, she was born with it but has gone undiagnosed because she has been developing properly. She rolls over, reaches for things, and holds her head up. She shows minimal signs of being uncomfortable, and rarely cries. So, you might wonder how we stumbled upon this discovery... I noticed from even before she was born that her joints would ...

Tiny Love My Nature Pals Mobile
My infant loves her "me time." There are several times throughout the day where I put her down in her crib so I can tend to the never ending pile of laundry, when it's time to make meals, and when my toddler needs my undivided attention. I'm fortunate that my infant doesn't mind spending time in her crib, and even falls asleep on her own while she is there. Now that her eyesight is getting better and she is exploring her settings, she is ...
On the Go With a Bored Toddler!
My toddler goes with me everywhere. She even came to every OB appointment with me when I was pregnant with my infant. Each time we leave the house for an activity that is not geared towards her, such as a trip to the supermarket, a visit with a friend at a cafe, or a doctors appointment for myself, I make sure that I have things packed to keep her entertained. The last thing any mom wants is a bored toddler! As most moms will tell ...
Back to School Shoe Shopping: Crocs!
From the minute my toddler laid eyes on her first pair of Crocs, she was in love. They were pink, vibrant, and so comfortable. They were easy to put on, easy to clean, and came in so many colors and styles. Fast forward two years later and Crocs are still her favorite pair of shoes. Since she loved them so much last summer, I bought her a fleece-lined pair for the winter! With their ever growing product line, Crocs have become the top name ...
Thank Goodness it’s Only a Dream…
In real life, I would be returning to work in about a week- leaving my toddler and infant in the care of someone else. My silver lining to losing my job in education is getting to live out my dream of being a stay at home mom. When I lost my job, I felt hopeless- How would I feed my daughter? Where would we live? Do I need to sell my car just to put food on the table? You can say that the months following this event I felt insecure about what ...
Gearing up for the fall with KEEN toddler boots
My toddler is obsessed with muddy puddles thanks to Peppa Pig. When it is raining outside she begs to go out in her rain boots so she can step in muddy puddles. I let her do this once, thinking it would curb her desire to do it again, but she loved it. This is the same child that didn't get her hands dirty dying eggs while all the other kids were covered in egg dyes. Let's not forget the pumpkin painting event where she freaked every time her ...
