Hello!

I am thrilled to be stepping into the world of blogging as I feel I have many great ideas and information on anything from how to clean that nasty grey grout on your tile floor, to activities that you can to do with your two-year-old, to organizing said two-year-olds toys! Stick with me as I learn how to really make my blog POP and keep all the feedback coming my way!

Fast, fun toys and activities for your active 2 year-old!

Kiddo Activities / tagged / / by

Sometimes you just need to pull out the toys for your kiddo. I personally love arts and crafts toys since they provide the sensory development aspect AND it doesn’t hurt that my daughter loves getting her fingers into anything artsy. That being said though, those easy “pull out of a closet and play” toys are also amazing when you really just need to get that last load of laundry done. Enjoy!

  • These Magnetic Building Blocks are awesome and super easy to travel with. They also keep older kids entertained for an added bonus when needed!
  • Stacking blocks! Dump these Melissa & Doug Wooden Building Blocks out and let them enjoy the fun of building towers.
  • The ever fun Play Doh… though I despise that it gets into carpet (post on cleaning this to come soon!), it is a great sensory activity and helps little hands with fine motor skills. Try some fun kits like the below to get you started!
  • Paint, paint and paint! Messy but oh the memories you make and the fun presents for grandparents you can do for little money! Side note – always make sure the paint says washable or that new cute top will be a goner.
  • Why not add some pre-K learning in to the day when you can? This set of magnetic letters and numbers is fun and always entertaining with the dual side of chalk and dry-erase.
  • A classic and again, easy to put out and great for imagination, Mega Bloks are an easy option and can also be fun for practicing color sorting!

9-Month Old Daily Schedule

Schedule / tagged / / by

I loved this schedule… lots of play time and rest time. We still followed the EASY (eat, awake, sleep, YOU time) routine almost except I switched to feeding her her bottle before her nap instead of when she woke up. This helped her sleep longer with a full belly and also allowed for some flexibility since times can still vary greatly at this age for awake and sleep time.

  • Wake-up at 6:30-7:30am
    • Eat solids if she is getting grumpy before 8:00am otherwise play in leaving room
    • 6oz bottle offered before nap
    • Walk with the little girl outside in stroller or get some exercise by putting in my favorite baby carrier, the
