As a mama of 2, I have realized that I have never shared the nursery essentials that I love to have in a baby room. I have shared what it is like to create a nursery nook in our bedroom for a newborn. But not actually what I like to have in a nursery itself when I have the chance to have one. If you all have been keeping up with the blog or my social media, then you would know in our previous home, my youngest didn’t have a nursery. Our girls actually shared a bedroom. And even though I loved the idea of them sharing a room, I think we should have waited until she got older. My youngest turned ..read more

Just because my 4-year-old is out of school, doesn’t mean that I can’t incorporate some fun summer learning activities for her. We are deep into the middle of the summer and we have been doing all the summer things. From summer camps to swimming to playing at parks to visiting the zoo. And even going on a family vacation. We have been having a blast this summer because that is what summer is about. But even with it being summer, I still think it’s important that my daughter is still learning so that by the time the school year rolls back around, she is retaining what she learned from her previ ..read more

If you are going on a family vacation with small children, then you are likely looking for some toddler-friendly activities to do. Those that follow me on Instagram would know that we recently got back from a mini family vacation in the Houston area. We are no strangers to family vacations since we try to take 1 to 2 of them a year. I have written a couple of travel posts below that you can check out for tips on traveling with smaller children. But obviously, when it comes to a family vacation, you want to do things that the whole family can do. Including the little people that you have with y ..read more

Those who follow me on social media would know that my 2-year-old daughter celebrated her birthday a couple of weeks ago. To be completely honest, we have been deep into toddlerhood for a while now, but with her officially being 2 now, I have a legit toddler now! And now I’m a mom to a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old. I have really been doing this second-time mom thing for 2 years now. Well, if you keep up with the blog, then you know that when my girls have birthdays, I like to share what they received in order to give others some ideas on what to get their kids for their birthdays. Last year, I ..read more

After being in the blogging game for 3 years, I am finally talking about how I started a blog as a stay-at-home mom. For those that know about me, then you may know how this journey started. But for those who don’t, here is a quick recap. I started this blog in 2020 as a stay-at-home mom of just 1 back then. My oldest daughter was 18 months old at the time and I ultimately started this blog as an outlet for myself. I was really struggling mentally as a new stay-at-home mom and trying to find an identity outside of motherhood. When I first started my blog, I talked a lot about my own experience ..read more

We are definitely in the early phases of potty training my 1-year-old daughter. For those new here, I have a 22-month-old daughter and a 4-year-old daughter. With my first daughter, we were able to get her potty trained by 2 and a half. So we are naturally hoping to do the same with our second daughter. If yall have been keeping up with the blog, then you have probably noticed a bit of a pattern with our second child. She has been hitting milestones a little sooner than her older sister. The only exceptions have been that she is still breastfeeding and not quite fully sleeping through the nigh ..read more

As a mom of 2, it is really easy for me to start feeling touched out. For anyone who may be new here, I have an almost 2-year-old (22 months) and a 4-year-old. So I have smaller children. And I’m also a stay-at-home mom so this mama is in mom mode 24/7. I can only speak from my perspective as a stay-at-home mom of 2, but there is a point by the end of each day when I start feeling overstimulated and touched out. Between tending to and breastfeeding my toddler all day and then trying to tend to everyone else once my daughter gets out of school and my husband off of work. It can start to feel li ..read more

I can honestly say that I didn’t realize that I would still be breastfeeding my daughter who is now 21 months old. But here we are. When I started this breastfeeding journey for a second time, I didn’t have an end goal in mind. My first daughter weaned herself by 18 months, so I naturally figured that my second daughter would probably wean herself around a year and a half as well. Boy, I was wrong. Not only am I still breastfeeding, but I still don’t see an end in sight. My daughter turns 2 in a few months and there is a chance that she can still be breastfeeding by then. I planned to follow h ..read more

As my daughter has gotten more adjusted to preschool, I have started incorporating more learning activities at home that are great for 4-year-olds. One of the things that I love about my daughter’s preschool is that they utilize a curriculum with the kids. If you all remember my post where I discussed what to look for in a preschool, then you may recall that one of those things that I look for is a curriculum-based preschool. That is one of the biggest differences you will find between a daycare and a preschool and that is whether they follow an educational curriculum. My daughter’s preschool ..read more

Since many of you enjoyed my curly hair care routine for my older daughter when I shared hers last year, I thought that I share what my 1-year-old routine looks like. Read More: Curly Hair Care Routine For My 3 Year Old For those that are new here, I have 2 daughters. I have a 4-year-old daughter as well as a 20-month-old toddler. When it comes to taking care of both of their hair, I started their hair care regimen early on. For the first few months, I would wash their hair a couple of times a week with baby shampoo. And then around the 6 month mark, I started washing their hair weekly since ..read more
