as a mom of a toddler, i have to say that i was not prepared (and still am not) for most of the things that come with being a toddler parent. but, that's why i'm here to share several things that have helped me through this stage so far!

Birthday parties for kids can still look fancy and feel fun without costing an arm and a leg.

Better yet you do not have to pressure other parents with expensive gifts - just let them know not to spend more than $5 or to skip a gift all together.
