Almost two years ago I shared this post about newborn must-haves– what to buy, what to borrow and what to skip. Having just gone through the newborn phase for a second time with Teddy, I figured I would update the list with the items I found the most useful in months zero to six and…
Potty Training, A Novel
Man oh man. Where to begin? Around 20 months or so, Chickie started giving us (what we interpreted as) clear signs that she was ready to begin potty training. Almost overnight our girl went from being super oblivious to bodily functions to noticing them and showing interest in learning what they were. It began with…

Traveling with Baby: The Logistics
In her short 23 months in this Earth our little Chick has done her fair share of traveling. When we got pregnant, #handsomehubbs and I made a pact to try to stay us once baby arrived, traveling included. This has meant lots of trips near and far for little miss. Although I’ve written posts on…

Surviving Winter with Baby: Must-Haves!
It’s mid February and there’s no denying winter is upon us. If you watch my #Instastories every day you KNOW we don’t kid around with the weather when it comes to Chickie. It’s SO easy for a badly bundled kid to catch a cold these winters months so we always err on the side of…
Kid-Friendly Playlists That Won’t Drive You Crazy
Happy New Year, friends! That’s right- this is my first blog post of 2018; something I’m feeling SUPER guilty about since it’s already January 15th! Work has been insanely busy the past couple of weeks and will only get worst until the second week of February when two of my big cases are scheduled for…
Being Present this Holiday Season
How I stay present with my family while still sharing pieces of our life with you on Social Media is a question I get often from our LTL Mama tribe. With the holiday season (and the flurry of shareable photos + moments that come along with it) officially VERY MUCH upon us, I figured I…
