PARENTING

I wanted to put together a summary of our potty training tips and tricks for Pia for all those curious or preparing to train yours or possibly still trying to train them. It wasn’t difficult, but I won’t say it was fun. The hardest part for parents is getting their...

I believe the saying goes “She may be little but she is fierce”. But in our house we say “she may be little, but she is fast!” We are not a leash-backpack type of family… although it would be helpful (sorry if you’re a leash family) Matthew puts his foot down on that...

I feel like most seasoned moms say the same thing when asked what they want for Mother’s Day, “A handmade card and a hug.” My mom is that way; even on their special day, mom’s remain selfless. I feel as though Mother’s work hard every day so it’s nice to gift them...

Last year we celebrated my first mothers day but I was a mom for barely two seconds so it didn’t count. Plus I feel way more mom-ier now that a year has past. I rarely like to celebrate me; I’m more of an embarrass and spoil others type person. But let me tell you…...

“I will not plan an elaborate birthday party for my 1-year old who will not remember a thing!” – is what I told Matthew months before Pia’s elaborate 1st birthday floatie theme party. I actually think most parents think this way until they begin planning. I swore to...
