My son is absolutely obsessed with all things Marvel and Avengers. Honestly, sometimes it feels like I’m living inside the Marvel universe just looking around our house! Over the past couple of years, he’s built quite the superhero collection, and I kid you not—anytime I ask, 'What do you want for…?' his answer is always, without fail, 'Superheroes!'

As a mom to neurodivergent kids, I have learned they sometimes like toys that are a little less traditional. One of my boys is on the spectrum and another has ADHD.

These toys are seriously cool and everyone that comes to play at our house is amazed at these fun toys!

As a homeschool mama to a recent Kindergarten graduate, here’s the curriculum I recommend, as well as additional resources.

Always keep in mind, what works for some, will not work for others. With love.

It can be super overwhelming when you start adding items to your baby shower registry list – there are SO many products, brands, and gear out there! And they make you feel like you need to get EVERY LITTLE THING. But take it from me – LESS IS BEST. I say this for 2 reasons: number one, your baby's development can be impaired by having too many “container” devices (like swings, seats, jumpers, etc.) by blocking their natural movement; number two, having too many things can be overwhelming! I suggest that you start with LESS and ask for gift cards on your registry – that way, once baby has actually arrived and you feel like you truly need something else, you can buy it then!

After international travel (solo!) with a baby and preschooler, this is my list of recommended gear to make it that little bit easier. Happy travels!

Bath time is so important for the little ones, not only because it helps them wind down, there are also cognitive and behavioral benefits to it. I once heard that it helps them know what to expect with this routine, so they learn to regulate their emotions. Also, it's the perfect sensory time to feel the water, play with bubbles and toys, and feel your touch. Now I just wanted to share some of our favorite toys & bath time essentials!

From island sunshine to Disney days, l've compiled a list of stroller items that have been life savers for us particularly as we've travelled from the Caribbean to Orlando several times🌴🏰. Everything on this list is something I’ve actually used during our Disney trips with little ones. My stroller of choice is the GB Pockit compact stroller because it is the easiest to fold when you're getting on the bus to Magic Kingdom! All the items here work with the pockit stroller. I recommend them from personal experience. Hope it helps your family enjoy the magic without the stress! ✨
