I've been wanting to create a fun water activity for my 13 month old that didn't include too much mess, or being outside. Here was my very simple solution: I spent $1.97 in Walmart on a set of 8 play sharks I put them in a little Tupperware tub I added some water I gave [...]
Do you ever dread mealtime with your toddler? I did. Myra was extremely picky and I used to get so frustrated trying to figure out what to do. She loved cheese (mac and cheese, cheese sticks, cheese and crackers etc...), but all that dairy made her constipated. I knew I had to find a better [...]
