Toddler=sunshine mixed with a little hurricane. Anyone else feel like their houseplants are sometimes better listeners than their toddlers? Those moments can be so, so hard. We hear you mama (even if you kiddo doesn't seem to). We promise that you're getting through to them. Just keep on' keepin' on. You've got this. XO, TeamMotherly
“Playing dress up starts at age 5 and never truly ends"—Kate Spade. When it comes to raising independent kids, scientists have learned that it's all about attachment. So go ahead and give them that extra cuddling and doting when they need it. You're setting them up for success, and making your mama soul happy while you're at it. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Speaking of cuddling, wrap you and your toddler up in love and softness in this gorgeous sweater from Ingrid + Isabel.
When we say no to help from our friends, we are robbing them of their happiness. And let’s be honest, we are robbing ourselves of some much-needed help.
After much thought and deliberation, I
had to find a polite way to put a stop to all the toys and—believe it or not—our family
and friends thought it was the best idea ever.
