Toddlers are pretty unpredictable, which can be hilarious and also wildly frustrating. If you’ve got one of your own you know what I’m talking about. It can make even the most simple task, like getting a cute photo of you kid, basically impossible. Well every kid is different but my husband and I have found some simple and almost fool proof tricks to get the perfect photo of your wild child.
Alright I’m back with another must-have and this one is super awesome because it comes with a giveaway. You heard me right, you can head over to my Instagram to enter to win a custom family illustration of your own from Kelsey Estrada. That’s a $140 value, you guys! I have always wanted one of these done since Christian and I got married. I had it all planned, we would have one done every time our family grew. Well, that ship has sailed because we never got one and now we have three in our family. So, I suppose the tradition begins now. I just love how she captured all the fun little quirks of each one of us so perfectly. Its honestly my most favorite item in my entire house, beside my family obviously.
It’s week 26, which means that I am just two weeks away from the third trimester and three short months away from meeting this baby. Holy cow! No wonder my belly is feeling so large and in charge lately. Elouise now is to the point where she kind of sits on it like a built in seat when I hold her. Great for her, so not comfy for mama. My sciatica has also been showing its comedic side lately, striking at the most hilariously awkward moments. Pregnancy is not for for those who are easily embarrassed, I can say that for a fact.
I have been a huge fan of everything Seventh Generation since Elouise was born. My love started with their diapers and wipes and grew as I started branching out and using their products for the home as well. One of my most favorites has been their Free & Clear Laundry Detergent. I have always had super sensitive skin, in fact I have an allergic reaction to most laundry detergents, and our sweet baby girl is prone to skin irritations as well. Well now they have improved on an almost perfect product, by making that same great detergent into Laundry Packs.
Well, I’ve had a toddler now for almost six months and I can say that I’ve finally found the magic formula for how to pack my diaper bag. The transition from infant to toddler sort of crept up on me, and I suddenly realized that half of the stuff I carried in my bag wasn’t essential anymore. So, I re-evaluated and repacked everything based on what I’ve figured out we usually need on a day to day basis. I’ve put together a list of the 10 things you should have in your diaper bag for a toddler.
