When the Toddler Wants to Be the Baby
Someday, I know, Ani will want to do everything her big sister does. But right now, it’s my toddler who wants to do everything the baby does.
How to Pack a Well-Stocked Toddler Bag for the Park
We go to a park literally every day that it doesn’t rain. Typically we head out in the afternoon, sometime after we’ve had our naps but before dinner. I’ve learned that instead of packing and repacking all the gear we need to have a blast at the park day in and day out, it’s easier to keep a dedicated “park fun bag” stocked and ready in the backseat of the car.
And once or twice a week I take the bag into the house for a bit of restocking and reorganization, ensuring we have all the things we need to have a really great time together.
Top 25 Photos From the Magic In The Mundane Instagram Challenge
A couple of weeks ago, I challenged you all to be on the look out for magical moments in the midst of the mundane moments of your day. I hosted a challenge on Instagram with the hash tag: #magicinthemundane and I had so much fun seeing what each of you captured. It was so hard to pick my favorites, because there were so many great moments to choose from (there were nearly 400 photos under the hash tag!). Here are 25 of my favorites, but I hope you’ll check out the others under the hash tag over on Instagram, because there really were so many great ones. Thanks to all of you who joined in and made this a fun challenge!
30 Must Follow Mamas on Instagram Inspired By: “it’s a small world”
My all time favorite ride at Disneyland is “it’s a small world.” There is something magical about sitting in the boat for a few minutes as you float around the world. The ride encompasses various cultures and destinations in the end reminding us that the world perhaps isn’t quite as big as you think.
For me, Instagram does the same thing. It somehow brings us closer together reminding us that we are all more alike than we realize. It has allowed me to form friendships, be inspired, and get a glimpse into the lives of other mamas some of them here in the same city as me, some of them in other states, and some of them in other countries.
