DIY: Simple Monster Costume Sewing Tutorial

Halloween and costumes have never been my favorite. However, seeing the holiday through the eyes of my Two Year Old has been pretty fun this year. When we started asking him at the beginning of the month what he’d like to be for Halloween, he hesitated exactly 2 seconds before explaining he wanted to be a Yellow Monster. Where this conviction and idea came from, I’ve yet to discover, but, he had a clear vision in mind for a Yellow Monster Costume, and I was thrilled to help bring his vision to life.

DIY Custom Swingset Play House

The imagination that our two year old brings to every day normalcy is so much fun. His current obsessions are cooking in his “Kitchen” and playing in his Fort (details on that can be found Here!) But the one thing he doesn’t have is a “Play House” with doors he can open and shut.

Toddler Road Trip Essentials Checklist

This summer has been full of road trips, big and small, with both the dog and the kiddo. We’re enjoying this stage where he’s still in diapers, so we don’t have to stop every 45 minutes, but he’s old enough to experience and enjoy new things. It’s been incredible to see him swim in a lake for the first time, run around his Grandparent’s house and eat his first real ice cream cone.

Engaging Busy Board for Fine Motor Skills

Here lately, my kiddo has been able to sit and focus on one task for a little bit of time, and, we’re ripping up nearly all of our “Flap” books that he likes to flip through. In an effort to create something a bit more sturdy that would continue to help him with his fine motor skills and give Momma a 15 minute break from time to time, I whipped up this Busy Board during nap time.

DIY Baby Friendly Colored Popsicle Sticks

Keeping a kid cool, calm and collected at the Doctor’s Office is near impossible… at least, it is for us. Thankfully, one of the wonderful nurses in our office has a fool proof trick up her sleeve when it comes to distraction – a single tongue depressor.
