Peyton and I do nearly everything together. It's just the two of us, so whenever we are home she tends to stick close by. One of our favorite things to do together is to color. Ever since she has been able to hold a crayon she has loved coloring. I discovered my love for coloring while spending time with Peyton coloring. But I wanted more than coloring a children's book. Peyton likes to copy everything I do so when we tried using adult coloring books she would become frustrated because they ...

Under the Volcano
One of the first television series Peyton started watching when she was little was Dinosaur Train. Instantly, she fell in love with all the dinosaurs. Recently, Under the Volcano was released. With 120 minutes of Dinosaur Train fun, your little one is sure to be pleased. I love saving videos like these for rainy days or days I need to get a lot of housework done. Just pop it in the DVD player and your kid doesn't even mind you are running around the house cleaning. And I like how when Peyton is ...
Itsy Bitsy Christmas
Can you believe there's less than 100 days before Christmas?! This summer has flown by and fall is moving fast too. Before you know it, we will be sipping hot cocoa by the fire and reading Christmas books at bedtime.

Baby’s First Elephant
I remember when I first became pregnant I wanted to start decorating and turning the spare bedroom into a nursery. Finding the softest, most snuggly stuffed animals was high on my list. Why? Because babies love soft, cuddly things. And what could be better than a soft, snuggly elephant? Bino the Elephant is the perfect gift for any little one. Bino the Elephant is made of a super soft hypoallergic material. He has the biggest floppiest of ears that babies love to grab hold of. While Bino is ...
It’s Picnic Time!
Fall is here! It's the perfect time to head out to the apple orchards, picking a few apples and having a picnic under the trees. Having a Monkey Mat comes in handy. The Monkey Mat folds up to be about the size of a small book. I can easily fit this in my purse. Then when it's time to take a break for lunch it takes a few moments to set up. Why do you need a Monkey Mat? It gives you a clean, dry place to sit down on and enjoy your time outside. I like how it's machine washable. A few weeks ...
