The Ultimate Guide to Gift Ideas for Toddler Girls

While I told myself that I wasn’t going to do a gift guide this year, I say that every year and every year I change my mind. This year, however, will be slightly different as I only intend to do product based guides instead of review guides. I’ve probably established before that I am not meant to be a review blogger- and I still stand by that. That said, if I should come across a product that I think would be of interest to you all, I will be happy to give you a thorough and honest review. To kick things off, I’m starting an ultimate guide to gift ideas for toddler girls … the reasoning should be obvious if you’re a long time visitor….

When I first started this blog, I had vowed to myself that I wouldn’t touch a few topics. Those topics are: religion, gender, politics, and race. As this blog has evolved and I’ve taken it in it’s current direction, I’ve managed to mostly keep politics, gender, and race out of it. Religion was something that I felt I could incorporate naturally and gradually. However, as my children are getting older (and in particular Squeaker), I’ve come to realize that I cannot ignore gender and race completely. Politics, on the other hand, I refuse to touch. So why then, after so many months with this blog, am I breaking away from my stance against posting about gender and race? Well, that has to do with a…

This post was sponsored by AstraZeneca as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Did you know that October is RSV Awareness Month? As the mom of two premature children, I am very much aware. RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common seasonal virus that usually appears between November and April. RSV affects the lungs and breathing passages. The symptoms mimic a common cold and most children will have RSV at least once by the time they turn two. RSV is also the leading cause of infant hospitalization during the first year of life. But that doesn’t mean that you should isolate your child or not go anywhere during this season. That would…

For some this is an enjoyable time of the year. And for many kids (and kids at heart), this is their favorite time of the year. I’ll be honest, I was more of a fan of Halloween as a child. But that is also changing now that Squeaker is getting older. Seeing and experiencing life through her eyes has really given me a new perspective on a lot of things. That includes holidays like Halloween. Like me though, Kyle is not a huge Halloween person. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t want to make the holiday memorable for…

As the parent and primary caregiver of a non-verbal autistic child, there are many hats that I wear. First and foremost, of course, I am her mom. But I am also her advocate, her voice when necessary, and her caregiver. I will wear these hats for the rest of her adult life. And I embrace the challenges and roles that come along with it. As her primary caregiver, it also means making the most of her SSI money each month. We are a one-income family still and even when I am able to contribute more to the household; we still need to be mindful about our monthly expenses. Things can definitely add up quickly, so that means looking for every opportunity possible to make the…
