What? 10 months? That was so 3 weeks ago. Yes, yes, we are quickly approaching the 11th month mark already. Sadly, I don’t have as many pictures and video clips …

Ever since Rissa was a baby it has been impossible to keep socks on her for very long. She used to kick them off, now she yanks them off as …
Hey! It’s great to see you today. Summer colds are no fun, yet they’ve invaded my home. It’s been circulating through our family and lingering. No fun, but I took enough …
This is BuckleyBoo, a developmental toy available at Imagine Toys. When we were offered the opportunity to review him my initial thought was I don’t want her to master buckles …
Mary: I wish I would have prepared six year old better for his first hair cut. It was a disaster! He is sensitive to loud noises so the the sound …
We can’t help but compare our kids sometimes, but sometimes we get a little too caught up in the “should bes,” I think. This week we discuss language development. Thank …
