It’s that time of year when I like to take stock of what my kids will need, in terms of clothing, for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. What winter boot sizes will we need this year? Does my child have enough pants that fit? By taking an inventory of their fall and winter clothes now I can take advantage of upcoming sales plus give practical gift ideas for birthdays and holidays to fill the gaps in their wardrobes. By using this Fall/Winter Clothing Checklist I also don’t run the risk of overbuying for my children. Here is my process;
Do babies really need all this stuff? No, not exactly but a lot of these items can definitely make a parent’s life easier and a baby much happier! Make sure to add these gear (travel, play, development, etc) items to your baby registry because they tend to be on the more expensive side and you’ll be surprised at what your generous family and friends are willing to buy you.
I never planned on homeschooling my children for any grade level. I happily signed my oldest up for preschool and she attended three days in March of 2020 before you know what occurred and everything shut down. It was at this time when I was forced into homeschooling my daughter for what I thought would be a temporary situation. Fast forward to August of 2021 and I have an entire year of homeschool preschool under my belt as I prepare to homeschool preschool our second daughter. Read below to find out why I am still homeschooling, the curriculum I recommend, and a list of easy homeschool supplies.
One of the more fun baby registry categories to shop for is, of course, toys and books. Many baby shower invitations now request that guests “please bring a book instead of a card” – a new tradition I can totally get behind. Below are the baby toys and books that my children loved the most during their first year of life.
When it comes to feeding your baby most parents obviously want to provide the best foods and nutrition. For some, that means buying jars of baby food. For others, that means making everything from scratch. As a parent, I like to do a little of both. When I make baby food I try to find the easiest and fastest way possible to puree each food. There are some foods for me that are just not worth the effort to make myself (for various reasons). Also, when we travel I choose to buy jarred baby food to make life easier. I hope the information below on how to make some of your own stage one baby foods helps you navigate starting your child on solids.
