Growing skills in parenting and organizing.
I love hearing great nicknames for Grandma and nicknames for Grandpa. Some can be so creative, like Big Dog or Sassy and the classics, Grandaddy and Nana stand the test of time.
When we first announced we were pregnant to my parents my mother took a long time to pick out what name she wanted to be called. She ended up with Grammy and we love it.
The birth of your new baby is such a beautiful and wonderful moment. There are very few times in life that can even compare to this experience. While newborn babies have fantastic and amazing abilities you wouldn’t even think of, they are completely dependent on you for warmth, feeding and comfort.
With birth, come several amazing physical changes and experiences. If you are expecting a baby, you may be wondering what to expect when it comes to the care of your newborn in the delivery room. There are a few things that you will want to prepare for.
When a baby is first born, starting from the very first days of their lives, their brains are being shaped and moulded. We all want to give our little ones the best start possible in life and a large part of that is supporting brain development in infants.
Stimulating your baby’s brain growth may seem as though it’s a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it can be as simple as introducing a new routine.

The excitement of bringing home a newborn baby from the hospital can be overwhelming, especially when it’s mixed with anxiety over your little one’s safety. Newborns on average sleep approximately 16 hours a day, so it is extremely important to create a secure place for them to sleep. There are several ways to make your baby’s nursery a safer place. Just make sure to pay attention to detail.
It can be difficult when your baby won’t stop crying. You might feel concerned that something isn’t right with your little one, frustrated that things aren’t going your way, or that your methods are sub par. The truth is, you can handle it. Learning the correct techniques can help you to soothe your upset or even colicky baby, without losing your cool.
Congratulations! I know pregnancy news can be exciting and scary at the same time. It is only natural. You are a hero! Can you imagine you are carrying a life inside you?
You have taken part in creating an awesome human being. It goes without saying; many things have changed. Your body is no longer the same, your lifestyle has changed and not to mention your priorities.
Tracking your baby’s routine is a great way to ease your worried mind. Gone are the days of a notebook and pen to nonsensically write things down. Now, there are several baby tracker apps and printables that can allow you to quickly and easily track your baby’s life in an organized way.
Chances are, as a parent, you will spend most of your time worrying about your baby’s health, schedules and habits. It’s natural to struggle with worry and only want the best for your little bundle of joy.
