When it comes to parenting people are passionate about many different things. I'd say most people would consider me to be "hardcore" about Jesus, sleep, and car seat safety. Those are probably my Top 3 "parenting passions" if you will (although if making memories counts then that's totes one too!). Healthy eating is a very confusing area. You can find a billion books and blog posts and articles and journals with a billion different opinions. When it comes to healthy eating in our home my motto is "Do my best and don't stress the rest." I'm far from perfect in the area of healthy eating. We don't "eat clean." I don't buy a whole lot of organic fruits and veggies (all the milk the kids drink is organic but that's about the only organic thing we buy). However, I personally am happy with the balance we have. We limit junk and do our best to give our children the healthiest options possible at each meal. Healthy eati...
Awhile back I wrote this post on car seat safety. Today I want to discuss what happens after the age of 2. By now everyone knows, I hope, that children are to be left rear facing in their car seats until age 2. What you may not know is that it's actually best to keep your child rear-facing as long as possible. It's safer. Period. The ability to rear-face for an extended period of time comes down to having the right car seat. The world of car seats is SO overwhelming and the sad reality is that all seats are not created equal. When my babies are infants I use an infant carrier type seat (I love the Chicco Keyfit 30 ). Once my babies reach the height or weight limit for that seat I then invest in a convertible car seat. Not only are all car seats different, but car seat companies are constantly tweaking things and coming out with new models. It's important to do your car seat research prior to buying a new seat, every time. Just because you loved "such and such...
This is a recap of our 6th week of summer. I'm really liking this format of blogging! It's so much better than doing small posts of every thing we do and it gives me a chance to include things I wouldn't normally include due to them not fitting in a particular post! I'm trying to think of how I can keep it going when summer is over ;) This covers Saturday June 20th through Friday June 26th! I have been SUPER pumped for Renika's wedding! I met Renika back when Zach and I were newlyweds (so in 2007...8 years ago!). I had a hair emergency (legit! whew y'all know what I mean!) and she and Penny came to my rescue. Since then I stayed loyal to their great combo for my hair. Eventually Renika became my sole stylist and I even had the privilege of being her very first customer when she opened her own salon (it was so cool giving her that first dollar bill!). I was beyond honored to be invited to attend her wedding. Her love story is awesome and I couldn't wait ...
