Want to know what’s currently going on in my life, what I’m loving or thinking about? Check back here every other Friday to find out. I’M CURRENTLY… LOVING taking G with me to our Stroller Strides workouts. It’s so much fun to get to workout with him and be around other adults. WORKING ON remodeling […]
I love that just about anything can be turned into sensory play for your baby. A $1 box of spaghetti pasta with a little added coloring can be surprisingly fun for little hands to dig into. Since my baby loves to put anything and everything into his mouth I like to use different food things so […]
Temperatures are rising and we’re finally getting some warm days. I mean we actually spent a few days at the pool last week for G’s first swim time! He loved it by the way, thanks for asking 😉 So to combat the hot sticky Texas days, I’ve been trying to figure out some more cooling off […]
I was going to do the laundry, Lord knows it needs to be done, but you looked up at me with those big blue eyes and instead we went to the park. I was going to do the dishes, they’ve been sitting there all week, but instead we laughed and giggled and played as I […]

When Griffin turned 6 months, I naturally turned to my friend Google to find out how to approach this whole “starting solids” thing. And OH MY WORD!
