What if you forget something? Will the baby be able to deal with changes to their schedule? Will they get bored? What if they don’t nap?

Traveling with a baby under one might feel overwhelming or nerve-racking, but with the right preparation and mindset, it can be a wonderful experience for everyone in the family.

Summertime brings sun-soaked days, splashing in the water, and making memories with your little ones. 

While we've covered beach safety tips previously, it's important to address water safety around pools and at home. After all, creating a fun and safe environment is key to enjoying those hot and carefree summer days for little ones and adults.

Traveling with a baby can absolutely be exciting and a little daunting, if we’re honest. Keeping little ones entertained in a car, plane, or train requires some creativity. Luckily, a little preparation can make the journey a little smoother for both parents and babies.

A day at the beach is a classic family adventure, but it's crucial to prioritize safety, especially when bringing along little ones. Babies and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to the beach's hazards. With a little preparation and awareness, you can ensure everyone enjoys a fun, worry-free day in the sun and sand.

Picture “summer.” What do you see? Maybe you’re at an amusement park, a mouse ear-shaped pretzel in one fist, churro in the other. Maybe you’re on a summer road trip, wind in your hair, mountains in the distance. Maybe you’re on a beach, cold drink in your cup holder, bestseller on your lap.

That was vacation before kids. What does vacation look like now?

The summer months often bring an expectation of grand adventures and elaborate outings, but the reality for many families, especially those with infants and toddlers, is that most days are spent closer to home. 

When was the last time you went on a date?

A play date, that is! Playdates offer a unique opportunity for them to navigate this new world and develop the lifelong skills needed for social interaction.

Gratitude is good for you.

It boosts optimism, builds stronger relationships, connects us to our community, and makes us feel good. It even benefits our mental health and changes our brains.

A gratitude practice for adults can look a myriad of different ways. But what does it look like for children?

“EEEKKK! My kids are running around like crazy people and there is CRAP everywhere! 

If you’ve been here, then congratulations, you’re a totally normal parent!

It seems like no matter what you say the entire house becomes a playground full of kids toys, craft projects, discarded shoes, the random Cheerio, and stuff! 

See springtime through your child’s eyes: Flowers are popping, birds are chirping, funny shaped clouds are floating by, there’s rain falling from the sky occasionally, and the sun is shining.

It’s absolutely magical!
