I like to get my kids toys that are not only fun but are also educational. Super Duper has a huge variety of games, and toys to encourage kids to learn while having fun. Super Duper also has a great selection of games that help kiddos with their language skills. Hayden has really struggled with his speech. After a LOT of hard work, repetitive practice, speech therapy, and a year and a half at … [Read more...]

I LOVE Christmas time. When I grew up holidays were a big deal, and I have a bunch of fun family traditions that are close to my heart. I have so many fond memories of our Christmas traditions like caroling around the neighborhood, eating homemade jam on muffins for breakfast from my grandma’s special recipe, and getting new pj’s to wear to bed on Christmas Eve.

By 137 Comments
Halli has been hitting milestones and having some really fun "firsts." Crawling, pulling herself to stand, first airplane ride, first time going to grandma's house, and some first foods. Trying to find a great high chair is tough! While I have been looking for a high chair I didn't want one that was too big or bulky, but also not too small. It had to be nice to look at, but easy to put away … [Read more...]

Baby Einstein Musical Motions Activity Jumper {Review}
By 11 Comments
Halli has been crawling for about a month now and she is starting to pull herself to stand. I love this age, she is really curious and wants to explore everything. This fun stage of exploring makes it hard to get things done without having to run over and keep her from climbing a side table, the ottoman, or trying to get somewhere she shouldn't. I need to get things done like the dishes, but … [Read more...]

I about … [Read more...]
