Your child will probably have a bedtime routine within a week or so of coming home from the hospital, but that routine gets more complicated with age.

I’ve never experienced the stress of flying or traveling long distances with toddlers and infants, but I hear from friends that the ordeal can be a nightmare for everyone involved.

The other week I was babysitting for some friends. They have some older children and one toddler.

I’ve said a few times in the past that one of my sisters was a very nervous new mom, but I don’t often talk about my brother-in-law.

I love to camp and hike and it’s one of me and my husband’s favorite outdoor activities during the spring and summer.

There is a lot of concern today about harmful rays affecting babies in the womb. Parents are concerned about cell phones, microwaves, and other electromagnetic frequencies.

Mom-and-me dates are a fantastic was for mom to spend some quality one-on-one time with her kids.

Growing up, my family had a lot of board games.

Some friends of ours have two toddlers, and one of them has anxiety pretty bad.

I love making my own juice and smoothies, even though it can take a bit of effort.

Like most new moms, dads aren’t always sure what to expect from their children as they grow. They’re learning by experience just the same as mom.

Everyone in your family needs weekly exercise, including your toddlers. If you want to ensure that your children grow up with lifelong healthy habits, the process needs to start with you.

I’ve said before that one of my sisters was pretty nervous about being a mom.

My neighbor friend was the youngest of 15 children!  My own family was much smaller since there are only three of us girls, but I still enjoy large families.

Toddlers shouldn’t eat too much sugar, but it’s nice to have a treat every once in a while. If it’s been a while since you’re have a family dessert night, consider making a sundae bar.

Every parent wants their child to grow up healthy, but instilling those healthy living habits can be a struggle.

Whenever I babysit my nieces, I like to make dinner a fun event so I have the girls help me cook and help me plan the meal.

Valentine’s Day is always fun when you’re little.

Working out during pregnancy can be a headache. You’re already uncomfortable and it’s only going to get worse as you approach your due date.

A lot of parents today are introducing their children to technology earlier and earlier. Unfortunately, screen time isn’t always healthy for children under the age of two.
