Lovevery: My Favorite High Quality Baby Toys
With five kids, I’ve learned that with toys, more is less. What I mean is that toys tend to collect in areas and not get played with when there is an abundance… and when there are one or two in site, the kids will actually play with them. I have been on the hunt for some fun new non-toxic toys for my littlest girls and I LOVE the ones that I found with a brand called Lovevery!

Baby wearing is something that I do every single day. It’s how I accomplish cleaning, cooking or running errands. I didn’t know a thing about baby wearing until Nolan was about 6 months old and wow it is a total game changer for a mom. It is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. It has been practiced for centuries around the world. By baby wearing, I am able to accomplish so much more because my babies will sleep peacefully verses just cry every time I tried to lay them down and do anything. I could clean my house, get…
