How to Keep Your Family Well Rested Over the Holidays
Traveling this holiday season? Whether you’re staying close to home or traveling to see family and friends, the holidays typically bring late nights, missed naps and general disruption of regular routines. Keeping everyone well rested (including adults!) is one of the best ways to ensure that your family will enjoy the best that the holidays have to offer.
Hi!
I am getting SOOOOO excited for the holidays! It has been so much fun sharing my gift ideas with you. I hope you have enjoyed them. They are ACTUALLY things we use in our house every day or really WANT to. Here is the first half of them all in one place so it’s easy for you to shop!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
I am so excited for the holidays this year!! Usually we head to Vermont of Florida to spend time with Tim’s side of the fam but this year we are headed to New York and Amagansett for a real city Christmas! Though petrified of the flight with a walk 1 and a half year old, I can’t wait to see Sonny get all bundled up and experience snow for the first time. I didn’t see my first snowfall until I was in college. Isn’t that crazy?

With the holidays upon us, gift giving is definitely top of mind. Regardless of what holiday you celebrate, it’s really easy for parents and caregivers to get swept up in the latest fads especially when it comes to shopping for toddler gifts. This season, the team at Gugu Guru is recommending skipping the fads in favor of more thoughtful gifting choices that give back.

After celebrating Halloween, we thought it fitting to talk about imaginative play.
Imaginative or pretend play does not have to involve getting dressed up in costumes. It can involve playing with figurines, using play versions of grown up things like doctor kits or anything where there is acting or dramatics involved.
I feel like the question I get asked most is how I balance between motherhood and work. Honestly, it is a challenge. First of all, I think the word “balance” can be a dirty word for a mom. Sometimes it feels so unattainable that I stop even trying to find it. It’s just a word. I think the healthier mindset is one of finding peace in the imbalance.
You’re probably here because you wanna check out/shop the items from my latest YouTube Video from my new series, Whit’s Essentials. Well, here they are in order! Happy Shopping!

On Sunday, November 4th, clocks go back one hour when Daylight Savings Time ends, and as a result, we gain a bit of extra sleep. Obviously getting more sleep sounds blissful, but it’s not quite so simple if you have young kids. Parents often worry about how it will affect their family’s sleep and wonder when their child will adjust to the new time schedule. The good news is, that when it comes to both the spring and fall time changes, our body clocks will naturally adjust on their own. However, you may need to give your kids a bit of help, which will also make the shift that much easier.

It’s officially been one year since Sonny was born, and I can’t believe how fast time flew by!
From pregnancy to the present, I’ve researched and tried many products on Sonny to see what worked for his skin type (he has sensitive skin, just like his mama ;)). Something that’s remained a constant for him throughout these past months are Johnson’s baby products. The brand was one of my mom’s go-to’s for my siblings and I back in the day, so it only felt natural integrating their products into Sonny’s life!

This week’s post is all about day travel, including some of Whit’s picks for products and services that just make it easier being out and about around town with Sonny. It also quite fittingly happens to be Child Passenger Safety Week, so in addition to products, we wanted to throw in a couple car seat safety tips as well.
