Good Behavior Reward Idea for Preschoolers: Paper Bag Treasure Chest! {Kids Craft}

July 9, 2015 By Melanie Edwards 2 Comments

How to Make a Paper Bag Treasure Chest

Something that seems to work in his preschool class is their treasure box. Every Friday, kids who had good behavior throughout the week are able to […]

Loving His New Shoes: Stride Rite Made 2 Play {Review}

June 7, 2015 By Melanie Edwards Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stride Rite. All opinions are 100% mine. It seems like we’re constantly buying shoes for the kids, especially baby boy since he’s growing at a faster rate than his older sister. He loves to run and plays hard, so we tend to keep a […]

Reflecting on Past Conversations with Our Baby Boy

January 5, 2015 By Melanie Edwards Leave a Comment

Conversations with Our Toddler

My “baby boy” recently turned four and is well on his way to being a big boy, though he’ll always and forever be my “baby boy.” His conversations have turned from the one-liners he used to give us as a toddler, to full-on conversations and inquiries. Just like his big sister, he’s turning out to […]

5 Reasons to Like USA Kids Sippy Cups, Available Exclusively at Walmart {Review}

October 29, 2014 By Melanie Edwards Leave a Comment

USA Kids Sippy Cups Review, Sippy Cups Made in the USA

Though my 3-year-old baby boy is already drinking from a regular cup, the occasional spill does occur. Sometimes, we still provide him with a sippy cup to avoid a mess, especially when we have a day out and he’s potentially going to drink in the car. Since he’s older, fun graphics or characters are important […]

June 13, 2012 By Melanie Edwards 2 Comments

Tantrums. We’re so there. Oh, how I wish we could skip this stage of parenting! Can anyone make that happen? Tantrums are nothing new to us, of course. Being that this is our second child, we know all too well what it’s like to deal with a toddler and tantrums. Even so, it’s hard to […]
