Let’s talk toddler!

Kaitlyn was a typical toddler, she definitely had an opinion! And her mood would change from moment to moment! You wake up one day, and it is a whole new ball game. You now have a toddler. Toddlers are so much fun, but can also be a challenge. We are not used to our child …

It is Friday, my favorite day of the week! A day that brings me “ahhh” moments as I breathe after a busy week. I am sure that you say, “Breathe?” “My Friday and Saturday is like my Monday!” Sometimes it can feel that way when you have small children at home. Every day you …

If your little one has climbed out or attempted…it is time to transition to a “big bed”! Climbing out of a crib can be a dangerous feat! It must be the season…lots of toddlers heading to their new “big boy” or “big girl” beds. I have had so many questions lately about how this transition …

Yes, TGIF! It is Fun Friday! Have you ever heard your child say ” but that’s how we always do it!”. Most of us have heard that statement and often we think, “Really? Always?” What our child is telling us is that what we have done in the past made an impact, it was something that was not only fun, …

Enjoy your Friday!! My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to a “date night” tonight. Even with being an “empty nester”, a date night sounds exciting. It is nice to be out and concentrating only on each other and not the pile of laundry that still is sitting in …

Time flies quickly…enjoy each moment. It is a quiet morning…the oldest two are at work and the youngest two left to go back to college after the summer. I am appreciating the quiet because I am trying to enjoy each moment for the moment. But, I remember not too longer ago, sitting in this same …
Oh what a difference a year makes!

From one day to one year, what a difference a year makes! The first few months of my children’s lives sometimes felt like a blur. Parents get VERY little sleep and are just trying to get to know their baby. I can remember feeling that the first year just flew by and all of …

I just texted my kids the traditional TGIF! It is “Fun Friday” at the Love house. Since the kids were young, we have celebrated Friday. When I say celebrate, I mean that we hooped and hollered, had snacks, ate pizza, maybe even by candlelight, and I had a glass of wine. I am not sure …
Look at their sweet eyes, and hold onto the moments….

Those eyes just never change….enjoy every early morning AND every moment! I just returned from my morning walk/run. What an incredible morning it is. The sun is shining, the air is a little cool and the sky is cloudless. As I was moving along on the trail, I saw a Mom pushing a stroller …
