I have three children: a 6 year old, 4 year old and an almost 5 month old. Usually by the third baby, you feel like an old pro, and know what’s in store with cluster feeding, growth spurts, changing poop color etc. One thing I had never experienced, and was not prepared for with this …

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was “prepared.” This meant I had every essential and non-essential item I believed we needed before she was born. Fast forward to 3 months ago when I gave birth to baby number 3. By the third baby, you’re practically winging it. Changing table? The bed will …

We are on a family vacation to London, England, visiting my parents, and with all of the beautiful lush greenery and the plethora of little bugs hanging around, we decided to put together a little snail habitat.
