In honor of us being on vacation at the beach this week, I thought I’d post a free beach trip packing list for beach trips with kids!! This is our 5th beach trip with one or two kids, and by this point, we’ve gotten our packing pretty much down. The first two years,, we went […]
Today, I’m sharing a FREE emergency car seat label with you! Yay! I’ve seen several online that you can buy, but I figured why buy one if you can just create one and give it to your readers? You can print this out, fill it in, and take it over to Staples (or wherever!) to […]
In this house, we’re strict about bedtime…and we won’t apologize for it. We’ve actually been this way since our first child was born. When Harlyn was a baby, we’d sometimes have to say no to things because the fun we’d have in the moment would be NOTHING compared to the agony we’d be in having […]

If you don’t follow me over on IG (@thisaveragemom –come hang out!), then you don’t know that our child care situation drastically changed as of last week. For the past FOUR years, my in-laws watched our kids (well, 4 years ago Mav didn’t exist yet, but you know what I mean). And as of last […]

Figuring out how to get rid of the pacifier is no easy feat…or so I thought. But today, we’re going to talk about how to break the pacifier habit and never look back. Let’s take a moment to review my pacifier experience, shall we?? Before we had kids, I was one of THOSE moms. You […]
