    The Life-Changing Magic of Tyding Up

    I love this book and the philosophy, though I find it difficult to truly adopt the method with a very non minimalistic husband, two young kids, and two dogs. Those are probably just excuses though. Anyway, every once in a while I'll do a big purge of some section of the house. I wish I could do...

    Creativity and clutter

    I think it's pretty situation dependent. Do you craft just for fun or is this your profession? Do you have a lot of craft supplies because you really truly need and use all of those supplies on a regular basis? I have this problem too... I sew, knit/crochet, do Cricut-type craft projects, and do...

    Bedtime

    My all-time favorite book for infant through ~5yo sleep is The No Cry Sleep Solution. Even if you don't fully use the methods outlined in the book, it still is a wonderful resource for sleep "norms." For example, I know how long my kid should be sleeping at night and for naps at any given age...

    Advice for kicking a sugar habit

    Curious to know - if you're not on a strict keto diet now, are you on some variation of it? Or if you're totally off keto, what made you stop? I had the same experience in that being on strict keto completely obliterated my cravings, sugary or otherwise. However, I started to have some iffy side...

    Upwork/Freelancing Websites

    Congrats of the success! I'm definitely intrigued with the idea of freelancing on the side, especially for the child care benefit you mentioned. I'll be in school next year and my kids will need to be in child care, but I'd like to bring in some money to help offset the cost of school and child...

    Bedtime

    How old is he? Sleep issues are very dependent on a lot of factors. Is there anything new going on in his life? Is he at any major developmental stages? One thing I've found to be true for a lot of kids is that sleep begets sleep... It can be a vicious cycle of not getting enough sleep and then...

    Out with the old (me), in with the new (baby).

    I have a 2.5 and 1 year old. Have not gotten "me" back yet since I got pregnant with the first one. Between being pregnant and/or breastfeeding for the last 3 years, my body has certainly not been the same. Then add in the whole world revolving around your children, like you mentioned, and it's...

    The days are long, but the years are short.

    So true. I've thought about this in the context of life with kids as well. Day to day life can seem like drudgery while you're in the thick of it, but then I'll see a picture of my kids from a while back and can't help but wish that they would maybe stop growing so quickly.

    Teaching second language to young children

    I commend you for wanting to undertake such a task! My background is in psychology, so I know that there are many developmental benefits to being exposed to more than one language as a young child. I will say that it can be quite difficult, especially if you yourself are not fluent. I'm fluent...
