I have been very excited for this week because it is Valentine’s Day week! I absolutely love Valentine’s Day. I have for as long as I can remember. There is just something about this day that makes it one of my favorite days of the year. I love the whimsical red and pink heart decorations, […]
5 Fun Activities To Do With Your 6 Month Old
In the past six months, I have probably Googled “what to do with your [insert age] baby all day?” at least 287 times. At least. Of course, normal baby care takes up a majority of the day, but there are still times where I just do not know what to do with her and it […]
Squishy Sensory Bags
The winter boredom blues sure have hit baby and me hard lately. It’s tough though because there is only so much you can do with a six month old all day! Especially stuck inside. I think we are both getting a little too cranky too easily lately. It is my goal to give her something […]

Introducing Baby to First Solid Food
Baby Bear got her first taste of baby cereal yesterday! She seemed to like it and ate almost the whole serving both yesterday and again today. She had a harder time sitting still in the high chair long enough to eat. We started in the high chair but had to finish with her on my […]
