Over 3 million of you liked this idea over a year ago so I thought I’d share it again for those that missed it.

An easy DIY that my toddler thought was SO cool!! It was perfect for a new big boy room 🏎️🏁

Place puree at tip of straw & that’s it!! This will cause baby to naturally suck the puree which will help them figure it out!

This worked great for both of my kids!!

Has anyone else been there? for whatever reason this plane ride was extra chaotic. And the second we sat down my baby was not having it and needed his bottle ASAP. Thank god for my sister sitting right there being my wing women and helping get the toddler situated so I could deal with hungry baby 😂

One of my favorite crafts to do every holiday!! 🎃 I just ordered more tissue paper so we can make other shapes too!! Maybe a candy corn? Witches hat? Bat?

You can also have your toddler cut or rip the tissue paper as an added activity!

My little monsters are stocked up with the cutest monster pjs from @carters. I love how long Carter’s pjs last- we have been able to pass them down to my youngest and they are still just as cozy. They are also a great price which is a total win for me!

Comment JAMMIES for a link to all the styles shown here 👻

Don’t drop the spider!!! 🕷️ took me 3 minutes to set up & both of my boys actually loved this! My 3 year old enjoyed playing the game but also setting it back up once he dropped the spider!

Saw @mytinyhumansco do this and had to give it a try!

Let’s ignore my floating chimney… my kids didn’t care!!

Activities that I can prep quickly while the kids are napping are the only ones I’m doing. Our door is magnetic so this one was perfect.

I never post things like this but it’s been something that I’ve been struggling with for a while and felt like I should share. There is probably someone else out there that is feeling the same way.

Staying at home with my kids AND being able to bring in money to help support my family is a dream come true. I truly never thought I’d be able to do this and it’s so freaking cool and I love it. The brands I’ve gotten to work with, the experiences I’ve had, all of it!!

But I have been really struggling with my time management and knowing when to work on content/work related things, when to work on house projects or just the regular tasks of keeping the house running smoothly, when to play with my kids, working out, alllll the things. I’ve known for a while that I could use the extra help and that I should hire a babysitter but Ive been having a really hard time admitting it. I think the other day was the final push I needed though to go and find someone. I’m hopeful a few extra hours to myself will help me be more productive and feel a little lighter!

If anyone has any advice on how to manage this all better, I’m all ears!!

And to anyone who has been here following along and being a part of my community on here- thank you!!!!

Boo the Ghost!!! 👻 I love being able to make cutesy traditions for my kids. You don’t need to spend a ton of money or time to make something memorable.

I liked filling the buckets with mostly practical things- my favorite being the matching monster pjs from @carters ! They not only are adorable but they are soft, breathable, and wallet friendly! 🙃
