I (Rachael) am not a photographer, but I am kind of obsessed with capturing my girls’ baby days with pictures before they change (again!) and grow up (even more!). One way I do this is by putting together a milestone picture for each girl every six months or so. Several people have asked me how, so […]

Love Notes for Kids
Since our oldest is only two, I thought we’d skip the Valentine’s Day hoopla this year. But then one of my friends saw that our toddler was wearing a heart on her shirt, and she said, “Oh, look! You’re ready for Valentine’s Day!” And it was over. Now she wants to wear hearts every day, because it’s almost “Valen […]
Sensory Bags
Sensory Bags It’s hard to find activities that appeal to both our six-month-old and our two-year-old, but sensory bags work for both girls! Have you heard of them? They’re a clean way to let your kiddos squish, squeeze, and explore. There are lots of examples of sensory bags floating around Pinterest, but I first came […]

The Woombie Review
In just a few weeks, our not-so-little baby will be six months old. Six months! Fellow mamas, I know you know how bittersweet this milestone could be for me. Six months is when babies start sitting up. Six months is when babies rock back and forth on their hands and knees to let you know that […]

She’s still plenty spoiled! Right now she’s cuddled up on the couch after wearing herself out at our church Easter egg hunt […]
Survival Mode–Cold and Flu Season

Today let’s talk about the everyday life kind of things that kick us into survival mode: weekends when Mom shivers and shakes on the couch. Nights when Daddy brings the toddler to the […]
Traveling with a Toddler and Baby to the San Diego Zoo
The adults loved San Diego because we love travel, the ocean, adventure, and sunshine. Our two-year-old loved “Sandy Eggo” because of the airplane ride, the sand, unlimited access to grandparents, and the animals. Oh, the animals! What toddler doesn’t love animals? For animal-loving tots, the San Diego Zoo is a must-see. It’s famous. It’s huge. […]
100 Days of Crying–Colic
I’ve read that colic is sometimes called “100 days of crying.” We just passed the 100 day mark with our little baby, and we have definitely not had 100 days of crying. Our sweet baby has been calm and happy from the beginning. In fact, I think it’s now safe to say that she’s what […]
