Spring Walk
Now that the weather seems to be turning a corner toward spring, we’ve started taking more walks. I’m fortunate to live in a location where we can walk to several stores and even the mall. But last week we took a walk with a very specific purpose: to look for...

Introducing 10 on 10
I first discovered Rebekah Gough’s blog, A Bit of Sunshine, three years ago when my son was still a small baby. It was one of the first blogs that I began following. I was blown away by her amazing photography and neat crafting ideas. She has a monthly feature called...
Packing tips for Kids
I recently returned from a month-long journey with my two kids. We stayed in three cities in two states. I’m no stranger to packing up my little clan to go on the road. Both Hubby’s and my parents live in different states so we’ve made a lots of trips like this....
Friday Funnies: Take Me Away!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a Friday post. And although I meant to even while we were out of town for a month, things got a little hectic and I wasn’t able to post much. So what happened? Sickness. The first night we arrived my son had a...
Baby Activities
The past three-ish months have been a real “sweet spot” for my daughter. She learned to sit up and with that a whole world opened up to her. This is an amazing age in between the flat-on-the-back infant phase and the mobile child phase. She could sit, see what’s going...

Alphabet Learning Activities
Since my son is very nearly three, I’m slowly starting to add more purposeful learning to his play. We’ve been using our Hape Alphabet Puzzle and Qubes for some alphabet learning activities. We’ve also used them for a matching game, which I shared before, and some sorting activities. I’m a...
Seams to Streams
I’m always thrilled when we start carrying a new brand at Sweetbottoms, but it’s even more exciting when we get to carry products made locally and when I get to meet up with the creative Mama behind it! I chatted with Amy Walker, creator of Seams to Streams and she...
