There is something about winter break and the holidays that just makes my kids crazy. Couple that with a bout of 9 day sickness and we are out of our routine, going crazy and the arguments and misbehaving has gone through the roof. Some my goals for 2022 are to be more consistent with encouraging… Continue reading DIY Behavior Chart

Potty Training: The Methods and The Madness
Here we go again! It’s ironic that the week after my Toledo Moms blog post on potty training went live, my two-year-old son, Hank, started showing interest in using the toilet! I was ignorantly basking in the bliss of not having to clean up accidents and continuously ushering the twins to the bathroom when Hank… Continue reading Potty Training: The Methods and The Madness

Changing the Game Before the Game is Over
I think we can all agree that over the past nine months most of us have filled the gaps that were once filled with school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc., with a little extra screen time (or a lot extra on some days #workfromhomemom). I’m not ashamed to admit that sometimes handing off tablets to my kids… Continue reading Changing the Game Before the Game is Over

The Backyard is Where It’s At
We already know that this summer is going to be one for the books. We will tell our children’s children all about the summer we had to spend at home or six feet apart.

Going For the Gold – Indoor Olympics
It’s COVID-19 quarantine day 957 (at least that’s what it feels like). You’ve watched Frozen 2 more times than you can count and you have taken to calling your children Elsa and Sven. The air is crisp so you’re still stuck inside, extracurriculars have been canceled and you are really starting to miss your kids’… Continue reading Going For the Gold – Indoor Olympics

Snow Day Survival Kit
It’s a random Tuesday in January (or April) in Northwest Ohio, and our kids are anxiously watching the morning news with their pajamas on inside out (yes, that’s a thing) while you pace back-and-forth in the kitchen. The meteorologist appears on the screen to inform viewers that your county is under a Level 3 snow… Continue reading Snow Day Survival Kit

10 Tips For Taking Toddlers To the Movies
We took the twins to their first movie this past weekend, as it was something to do on a rain-filled Memorial Day Weekend Sunday. I had been looking forward to this adventure since I first got pregnant, and it actually went better than than I thought (Nick would probably tell you otherwise); although we did… Continue reading 10 Tips For Taking Toddlers To the Movies
