Carter’s Pajamas Buy One Give One

Every Child Loves to Rock

Rockabye Rockers

Rocking is a natural motion we all do. Think about it, your natural instinct kicks in when you are holding a baby and you rock. Sometimes it's side to side, other times it's back and forth.  Babies love it! Everyone loves to rock, no matter what age they are. But as babies get older and turn into toddlers it becomes a little harder to hold them and rock. But they still want to rock! And they are also exploring their independence so they don't want you to rock them. They want to rock themselves! ...

Tactic Games 3 Little Pigs

Game night is the norm at my house. I think it's a great way to get the kids off the electronics and interact with the family. Tonight we played 3 Little Pigs. The suggested age is 4 years old and up. But I had a 3-year-old play and he did just fine.  The game can have 2-3 players but if you have more kids just make teams. I thought the game was a fun twist on the story of the 3 Little Pigs. Everyone starts out with a green stand piece. Then you have to roll the dice. Each side of the dice ...

Moana is Now in Theaters!

Peyton and I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Moana. The wait is OVER! Moana opened nationwide today at theaters everywhere. We were fortunate enough to have seen the movie last week and I have been dying to share our thoughts with you. But I couldn't, until today. Moana is awesome! Peyton gave it two thumbs up. I do have one warning, this is a longer movie. I believe it runs just shy of 2 hours. So with that being said, be sure your child can sit through it. And you may want to ...
