early eating: don't get discouraged mamas!

what should i try to buy organic?
I never really thought much about what I should be buying organic...until I got pregnant and had my babies. Now I think about it all the time, which is one of the more tangible pieces of evidence I have that I might actually be a grown up. Once when I was pregnant and had just …

FREE downloadable grownup valentines for ALL the mother fathers ;)
Sooooo Valentines Day. Honestly - it's not even my favorite fake holiday (THAT would be a tie between Treat YO SELF Day and National Taco Day, for the record). This is the first year that our kids have had to hand out Valentines to friends, and I really wanted to make some super cute and clever …
(staying the f in…) big kid beds! part 2
This week I'll be talking about how we got the girls to actually transition into sleeping in these awesome teepee big kid beds.

I think I expected that and I …

easy downloadable thank you cards for kids
Growing up, my mother ALWAYS made us send thank you's for gifts, from birthdays to first communions to christmas - if there was a gift involved, we were acknowledging it by snail mail. I always appreciated that she let us design our own too - I know I have sent out some real special creations …

punny Christmas gift tags and cute gift ornaments for your last minute present wrapping ;)
Christmas is only a couple of weeks away y'all! If you're like me, you generally wait to wrap all your presents until the week of Christmas...then grossly underestimate how much time it will take, freak out and panic around 11 pm the night before you need said gifts, and ultimately quickly tape some stuff together and call …
