How To Survive (and Thoroughly Enjoy!) Walt Disney World with an Active Toddler : Part One We recently took a family vacation to Walt Disney World in Orlando.

Should We Switch To A Big Boy Bed Just Because Baby Is Coming? Everyone who knows our family or who has read this blog knows that we’ve struggled to keep the Captain in his own bed at night. You see, shortly after D was born, just after the Captain turned 2, we decided that he …
Baby D is two. He has become very independent in the past few months and while it is a natural, good part of his development, but it sure is tiring on his mommy! I remember when the Captain went through this phase, his favorite phrase was “My do it!” and D is no different. Everything …
