Games for Babies
A Simple DIY Ladybug Birthday Party
It turns out my baby is officially no longer a baby. “Pink” turned 2 last week. For some reason I was obsessed with the idea of planning a ladybug party. The thing is, I’m not all that crafty. (Pinterest gives me major anxiety!) Oh, I’ve got big ideas, but I know that when it comes down to reality, I have to keep it simple. So I did. And it the party turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate my sweet little ladybug.
If I could do these things, just about anybody can. Really.

A Morning With Multiple
I have a newfound respect for mamas with multiple kids after the morning I spent watching my friend’s little ones: you moms are awesome! While I believe that all moms are awesome, the sheer logistics of balancing tasks when you’re outnumbered is a truly impressive feat that I had never truly appreciated. It only took two hours of hanging out with three littles (ages 3 years, 15 months, and 11 months) for me to realize this. My friend’s boys are so sweet and easy, but just having more than one was a totally new experience for me. See how it went…
