Today was a quick dinner for the fam. It’s the end of Q3 and it’s one of the busiest it’s been in a while which means I have to work during dinner time.

Hubs was at work so it was me and the boys. Noah wasn’t feeling the best so he just wanted ground turkey. Cooper had his typical wet and dry food mix.

Hubs and I went to an event over the weekend and of course we stayed at one of our FAVORITE hotels @embassybh

Shocked when I walked into the room and saw the stunning decor! I’ve been to the hotel so many times and this was the first time the room had me speechless!

It was so modern and I just knew I had to get a picture on the sofa.

Followed by the breakfast to top off the experience, this was a great weekend and of course I’ll be back.

I asked myself why did this happen when I had a baby. What did I do to deserve this and will this ever end?

Through that, I discovered so much more about who I am and what I’m capable of it was the motivation I needed to start living my dreams NOW.

The pandemic made me realize that I need to be more organized and intentional about my end goals and work smarter to achieve them.

Now that he is getting more verbal we can focus on the other parts of his development like imaginative play.

Exploration for “preschool” toddlers is so important because this is when their passions start.

This was recommended by his speech therapist and we’re going to elevate this by getting a full kitchen so he can lean into being creative and making more of a mess 🤣

The hubs and I crave out about 15 mins a day with functional play so that even when he is not in ST, we can work on it at home.

love the water and nature. It allows me to clear my mind and reset.

One of my goals is to be able to take 2 weeks off every quarter to travel with the family. I want to be able to visit places that allow me to be by the water and lay so someone’s beach.

I don’t get many chances to have some April time so I value when I can feel like “April” even if it’s for a moment.

I hope this weekend provides you with the reset needed to finish out Q3 strong to power through Q4 like a boss.

I was raised that “you can’t do something for one without the other.”

Since Noah went to the playground, it was @cooperbearthecorgi_ turn to have a mommy corgi day.

I try to make sure to give Cooper undivided attention as well during the week. It’s important that when you are a dog owner, to find ways to let your dog decompress from the kids. Especially if you have small kids.

Noah is always in Cooper’s space and Cooper was still a puppy when I had Noah so it wasn’t like Cooper had a lot of time to adjust to being the only fur child.

I want to make sure that Cooper knows he is a loved member of our family and my oldest furbaby. I take him being a part of our family seriously and his well-being is just as important to me as Noah’s.

Cooper loves just walking around so I let him do this for a bit and then we head off to the next adventure of the day. I can tell he is so happy and that makes me a happy mom.

Being a pet and toddler mom is no joke. I have 2 kids 🤣. But I love it and it’s made me a better mom for both my kiddos 👶🏽🐕

Noah made me put on my shoes and take him to the park. It was hot so we left after 20 mins 🤣, but he enjoyed it.

Yes, I had to take an extended lunch break to accommodate his request (which meant work later in the evening) but it was worth it.

Hearing his little voice just reminds me that my baby is growing up. He’s finding and using his voice and I couldn’t be more proud.

There are days that parenting is frustrating and lonely and I want to return to sender. But there are days like this that make me fall in love with the process all over again.

I’m not perfect, but he thinks I am. I’m going to do the necessary work every day to make sure that he gets the best parts of me.

Gets to keep these memories.

And know his mommy is doing her best, daily. Because showing up and showing out for my Noah is all that matters.

This was recommended by his speech therapist and we’re going to elevate this by getting a full kitchen so he can lean into being creative and making more of a mess 🤣

The hubs and I crave out about 15 mins a day with functional play so that even when he is not in ST, we can work on it at home.

love the water and nature. It allows me to clear my mind and reset.

One of my goals is to be able to take 2 weeks off every quarter to travel with the family. I want to be able to visit places that allow me to be by the water and lay so someone’s beach.

I don’t get many chances to have some April time so I value when I can feel like “April” even if it’s for a moment.

I hope this weekend provides you with the reset needed to finish out Q3 strong to power through Q4 like a boss.

I was raised that “you can’t do something for one without the other.”

Since Noah went to the playground, it was @cooperbearthecorgi_ turn to have a mommy corgi day.

I try to make sure to give Cooper undivided attention as well during the week. It’s important that when you are a dog owner, to find ways to let your dog decompress from the kids. Especially if you have small kids.

Noah is always in Cooper’s space and Cooper was still a puppy when I had Noah so it wasn’t like Cooper had a lot of time to adjust to being the only fur child.

I want to make sure that Cooper knows he is a loved member of our family and my oldest furbaby. I take him being a part of our family seriously and his well-being is just as important to me as Noah’s.

Cooper loves just walking around so I let him do this for a bit and then we head off to the next adventure of the day. I can tell he is so happy and that makes me a happy mom.

Being a pet and toddler mom is no joke. I have 2 kids 🤣. But I love it and it’s made me a better mom for both my kiddos 👶🏽🐕

Noah made me put on my shoes and take him to the park. It was hot so we left after 20 mins 🤣, but he enjoyed it.

Yes, I had to take an extended lunch break to accommodate his request (which meant work later in the evening) but it was worth it.

Hearing his little voice just reminds me that my baby is growing up. He’s finding and using his voice and I couldn’t be more proud.

There are days that parenting is frustrating and lonely and I want to return to sender. But there are days like this that make me fall in love with the process all over again.

I’m not perfect, but he thinks I am. I’m going to do the necessary work every day to make sure that he gets the best parts of me.

Gets to keep these memories.

And know his mommy is doing her best, daily. Because showing up and showing out for my Noah is all that matters.

Took Noah mini golfing for the first time and all

Took Noah mini golfing for the first time and all he did was snack 🤣 #gifted

Our good friends @greensproutsbaby gave Noah some reusable snack bags and boy did they come in handy.

Noah was able to hold the bag on his own and because it’s thicker than a plastic bag we didn’t have to worry about it ripping or wasting bags since we can just use this one.

It’s clear on the back side so you can see exactly what’s in the bag and it’s a decent size to hold many items. There are also reusable sandwich bags as well for daycare and trips.

You can also hold utensils, and wipes and even write your kid's names on there so there are no mix-ups!

It’s back to school time and if your toddler is

It’s back to school time and if your toddler is not quite there like mine is, getting them ready for preschool is the first trip to transition them to the classroom.

Noah loves this little easel because it has a magnetic side and a whiteboard side. He loves being able to put words up there and it’s also been helpful to start teaching him simple sight words.

Finding fun ways to keep my son engaged has been fun and challenging at the same time but I love that he just pulls this down and plays with it on his own.

Noah has been in speech therapy for 1 year! He’s

Noah has been in speech therapy for 1 year! He’s made major improvements and we’ve been working so hard as a family to get him talking!

What we have learned is that based on his learning style, things need to be FUN! So everything we’ve been doing has been FUN to make sure we are bringing home those skills.

This tracing board is great for preschoolers as the day begins to learn to write. So far I’m only working on his name and he enjoys it.

As with all toddlers, once he is disinterested, we clean up and move on to the next. Bonding with him even for a few minutes a day while WFH makes it all worth it.

The hubs and I just celebrated our 4th wedding ann

The hubs and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and decided to take a day trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.

I often get asked what the essentials are when taking our toddler out, and these are my staples.

1️⃣ gb Pockit+ All City Stroller - it LITERALLY goes with us everywhere. So lightweight and easy to handle, especially for petite mamas like me with no upper body strength 🤣

2️⃣ Eddie Bauer Diaper Bag - my boo got this for me as a baby shower gift, and it’s been the holy grail of diaper bags for the past 2.5 years. I love that it doesn’t look like a diaper bag, and it distributes the weight evenly across my back (which was fried after caring my son for 42 weeks)

3️⃣ Nuk Sippy Cup - because the cup doesn’t need a top because the stopper is on the inside, it’s more hygienic and makes it our top choice when traveling.

It was his first time bowling, so we didn’t want

It was his first time bowling, so we didn’t want to overdo it and just spent an hour there.

An hour was perfect because, after 40 minutes, Noah didn’t want to play anymore, which was ok and expected. Overall we had a fantastic time.

Here are three easy tips for introducing new activities to toddlers (2-4)

1️⃣ Show them but let the toddler do it.
🧑🏽‍🦱 Toddler independence is vital to them, and they want to not only show you they can do it but prove they can do it themselves. Make sure you supervise them, so they don’t injure themselves, and let them have at it!

2️⃣ Praise them even if they do it wrong or not at all
👏🏾They are 2-4; GIVE THEM GRACE! If it’s their first time exposed to it, they might not even understand the concept, so it may take a few tries to get it right. Showing them that you are calm, cool, and collected will allow them to be. No pressure.

3️⃣Don’t force them if they are over it.
❌Toddlers still have short attention spans, so if you find that after a few tries to get them to come back, they don’t want to, they are over it. It’s ok! Still, have fun and let them know it’s ok, and don’t get mad.

Pool days for this mama for the win!

Even though it’s Noah’s vacation, I’m still having a great time.

He’s been to that pool every day this week so I figured let me see why he loves this water so much.

I wanted to try a different silhouette with this bathing suit and I must say I’m pleased.

Tummy control top really has me out here looking like pre-baby April (minus the hips 🤣)

Noah is having a blast! It was his first time visiting one of our family’s favorite restaurants, @captaingeorges

It’s a tradition that every time we come down here, we go here, and it never disappoints.

Noah played with the crab legs the whole time 🤣 🦀 but, I’m honored, I get to share places that I visited as a child with him 🥰

This is one of his favorite shirts, and of course, he had to show it off (my little model)

This has been a relaxing vacation and we haven’t been doing much. We were headed to dinner and had to take a quick picture.

Of course Noah had to photo bomb, but I don’t mind 🥰

Day 2 is a pool day. Today we wanted to see how the gear would hold up in a standard pool.

My future Olympic swimmer picked up where he left off at the water park and jumped in with his gear.

The reusable diaper from #greensprouts is still holding up strong, and after the wash, we haven’t seen a difference in color, shape, or size!

The swim shorts are slightly big but hold great while in the water. They haven’t fallen off even without the life vest which is fantastic!

The hat is his favorite because when he puts that on, he knows he is going in the water. What a smart baby!

#gifted Summer isn't over yet y'all!

The fam and I are on vacation in #williamsburgva and since Noah loves the water, we knew we had to try a few of @greensproutsbaby products.

It was blazing hot this day, and protecting Noah’s skin was important.

Between the reusable swim diaper & hat that’s UPF 50+ sun protection, we had no issues with either item, and he kept them on ALL DAY!

Formal review is coming soon after a few more pool days, but enjoy our quick recap of our day at @watercountryusa
