An Easy Way to Keep Track of Your Child's Illnesses

You think you have a good memory...until you have a baby. I used to remember every single detail of my day, a recipe, or plots of books. These

So to keep track of Luke's various illnesses and not think, "When did he have that?!" or "Wait, has he had pink eye?" I whipped up this simple way to keep track of all those sniffles, doctors visits, and medicines!

It's super simple to use - just print out the Sick Notes {I used cardstock for durability} and tuck it somewhere safe.

Tips for Surviving The Newborn Phase

Luke is seven months now and we've survived the first hurdle of parenting. I've been reflecting these past few weeks on the advice I wish someone had told me. To be honest, maybe someone did say it to me but I just can't remember!

Read on to find out my best advice for surviving these tricky months...when you believe you'll never feel like a normal human being again!

This may be one of the only times that people are willing to do your laundry, cook you a meal or watch your baby while you sleep. Seriously, take them up on the offer! 

My mom and dad stocked our fridge with grab & go snacks and meals from Costco so dinner was one less thing we needed to think about.

My Favorite Books for Infants

It's pretty well-known among my friends that I'm a book nerd. I read everything - from Reader's Digest {yes, it's totally my favorite magazine!} to books from the NY Bestsellers List and everything in between.

Being a book nerd and a teacher, I am a HUGE proponent of early literacy. Kids need to see their parents read and be fluent models to grow as little readers of their own. A recent study published in Pediatrics found that toddlers interacted more with print books than eBooks. So having a print-rich baby library can definitely contribute to your child's future success.
