As a former elementary teacher, and lifelong book reader I’ve been diving into the world of board books for my baby now turned toddler. These are some of our favorites at the moment. Most we started looking at and reading when he was 8-10 months old and we love them even more now that he’s almost 2.

I didn’t want to go the medication all the time route for teething and searched for more natural or cleaner options for medications. I also had a ton of Teethers that were given or recommended by my son’s physical therapist after we had his tongue tie released at 14 weeks old. She gave me many she uses to encourage tongue movement and exploration, as well as simply helping to relieve some teething pain and discomfort.

After research, trial and error I found items that seemed to help my baby with first foods. And also made my life easier as a mom.

A list of must-have items for road trips, flights, and vacations with a toddler, including snacks, entertainment, travel-friendly gear, and comfort items. Our first flight as a crazy toddler was when my son was 16 months old, with a total of 6 flights over a week and five layovers. I brought a lot and have notes on what helped and didn’t work well for us. Or what I wish I had.

Great books for toddlers I've seen online, have purchased, or borrowed from the library. I’ve done a lot of research and watched many speech language pathologists online to see how to encourage language and mimicking when reading. I also took what I learned from my experience as an elementary teacher for ten years. All Affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from Qualifying purchases.

Recently got a Tonie Box for my 18 month old. Making a list of possible characters. I’m trying to focus on ones with music and songs because that’s what he is interested in right now. I’ll update notes as we receive new characters and note if he likes them or not. It’s hard to find mainly musical Tonies so wanted to compile my list for others.

Don’t throw away all of your receipts. A lot of companies will pay you to scan your receipts. I believe the reasoning for this is they can see trends, and what is being purchased in various locations. Check out each of these apps, some work better than others, and some are better earners than others. Disclaimer, most of these links are my personal referral codes, which means both of us might earn a bit more once you start using the app.

I purchased these items to help occupy my busy, and never stopping 16 month old toddler for our recent plane trip. I did a lot of research before purchasing to find items that would hopefully be engaging, enternaining, and also small enough to fit a large quantity into our diaper bag.
