My adventures in mommyhood and tips on making it out alive!
Dealing with a teething baby or toddler can be the worst! Your precious little one is in pain and there is not a whole lot you can do for them besides letting nature take it's course. With that being said, there are a few things that you can do to help your kiddo be a little bit more comfortable.
My 12 week pregnancy update is up!
Hey y'all, I wanted to let you know that I will be doing updates throughout my pregnancy here and via YouTube. I will make sure to let you know every time a new vlog is up!
One of the worst things about this wonderful job as a mommy is witnessing our children getting hurt and then having to make the decision on what to do! Do you give the boo-boo a kiss and put an imaginary band-aid on it? Do you call your pediatrician and go to the next available opening? Do you drop everything and rush to the ER in your sweatpants and un-brushed hair? Unfortunately, all I can tell you is that when the time comes your instincts will kick in and you will know. And if you are ever unsure, err on the side of caution and take your little one to be seen. It will put your mind at ease (trust me).
This past week has been a very eventful one for the Casey Clan! We had our first trip to the ER with Baby L and it was interesting to say the least. To lighten things up, we decided to do our annual holiday footprint craft.
Being a first time parent is such an exciting time! It is also confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. I am an avid planner, researcher, and organizer; but the first time my husband and I went into a baby store, I was so overwhelmed I had to sit down in the rocker section to calm down. There were so many sections in that store! What did I actually need for my baby?
Before I was a stay at home mom full time, I always wondered, "What the heck do moms do with their kids for 10-12 hours each day?!" So I started scouring Pinterest for some fun activities that I can do with my toddler and came up with these three of my own:
As many of you know, I started working part time back in January and in July I quit my job to stay home with my precious little one. Now transitioning from 2 incomes to 1 has been tricky but I wanted to share with you a few of the things that we did to trim costs last month:
Once your precious little one gets close to 6 months in age or so, they may be exhibiting signs of being ready to incorporate some solids into their diet. Such a fun time!
Your little one is about to turn one and you are probably planning a party and possibly getting some pictures done; then you remember that you need to buy a present also! Don't stress about it too much (like I did), your little one is probably not going to care one way or another. Just make sure you wrap it with extra tissue paper (that's the real gift to them)!
