Baby Beach Essentials!

May 31, 2019 by Nadiya No Comments
I

know what you all are thinking… it has only turned Spring! This mommy is a planner and you know I am going to make the most of every free minute I have with my family.  Therefore I have already organized all of my summer essentials so I can just grab them and go when that hot sunny day arrives!  Truth be told, when I first starting researching products for Amani, now two and a half, I had no idea what I was doing.  I overbought on several items, buying a ton of “cute” floats, hats, and bathing suits which were not practical and did not serve any purpose when it came down to it. The unicorn float was adorable on the ground.  Once we got “him” in the water, baby positioned, he was very unstable and his pointy head was right there in Amani’s face.  She was barely able to enjoy the water.  Needless to say he did not make the cut – not even for a picture since that would require letting go with one hand! Let’s not forget about the floats where your baby can sink down, slump over or slip right through the bottom… every parent’s nightmare!  Since then, I have wised up and narrowed down my essentials checklist dramatically.  Also, you can find many items at the thrift store including: bathing suits, sand toys (often new), puddle jumpers, terry robes, towels and blankets, and more.

Spring & Summer Car Preparation

May 27, 2019 by Nadiya No Comments

t goes so fast“I is what our friends say who have grown children. Looking at my mischievous two-nager, chattering sentences away, I can see that. Whether we are stay-at-home mom or “working” mom all of us are working moms and our free time with our children is at a premium!  Between diaper changes, cleaning, deep cleaning de-cluttering and organizing,  grocery shopping, cooking, appointments, birthdays, school activities, homework and sports how much quality time do we actually have?  For 90% of the hours my children are awake during the week, mommy is not home.  Truth be told, mommy missed most of “baby’s firsts” because she had to go to work.  That is the reality for many of us today.

Get it on the Thrift!

April 14, 2019 by Nadiya No Comments
T

hrifting is not always done out of necessity. In fact, I bet many of your friends are thrifters and you don’t even know it!  I went through most of my whole adult life completely clueless that these stores even existed.  I wonder now how I could have even survived shopping retail sales. I cringe even thinking about it!  The prices were still 100% more of than the thrifted version. I remember the day my husband paid $50 for two “common brand” outfits for my then one-year old daughter, Amani. I purchased over 10 of the same brand, in gently used condition for $2.50 each – some still had the tags! Why would we ever again go to that store? The fact is, no matter what your income, every little thing adds up!

As a working mom, I got no time to take on no mo’ jobs! What I get a kick out of is that this little beauty is the smartest kid in her building! They have to make a curriculum just for her...

In today’s video I share how I got my daughter reading at 2 using unconventional and unpopular learning strategies!
