Alas, potty training is one of those great milestones in a toddler’s life that I think parents face with both fear and excitement. The thought of your little one being a little independent and not needing to pack all those diapers is a great one but the process of getting there can often fill us with trepidation.
I believe just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t wear some of this season’s hottest fashion trends. I’ve pulled some of my favorite pieces from the new Spring 2012 Rosie Pope Maternity collection, that feature hot Spring trends allowing you to show off your growing bump without sacrificing style.
Your wee one’s life is always filled with so many milestones and transitioning to a toddler bed is another one of those. Usually between your little one’s second and third birthday, though some kid’s transition earlier, they will be ready for a toddler bed and despite them always being ‘your’ baby, this is a sure sign that they are no longer a baby. There is a great Elmo book about the transition that can help ease some of your wee one’s anxiety. I wrote this blog to help ease some of yours.
I don’t know if I was a particularly girly girl on the outside. I didn’t spend time dressing as one princess or another, glued to every prince and princess tale, although I do remember secretly wanting to be all glitter and fairies and I have to admit now as I walk passed Tutus, Fairy Princess Stories and any other glitz that catches my eye I crack a smile thinking about whether my daughter will be into all of these things….because if she is mommy is ready to get out that bedazzler and glitter glue!
So even though I’m not home this Valentine’s Day I thought I would share with you a recipe for cupcakes with pink frosting. This recipe is perfect for today and really fun to make with the help of your wee one. J.R. loves helping me measure and push the buttons on the mixer and of course lick the bowl when we’re finished.
So looks like this year I’ll be filming on location for Valentine’s Day with Pregnant in Heels but then again my husband and I have never really been ones to celebrate it….I know I know, can you believe it?! No bouquet of Roses or boxes full of chocolates for moi! But it really doesn’t mean that Valentine’s Day isn’t still very special. For me it means arts and crafts and cupcakes with the kids and it doesn’t get much better than that in my book!
For an English girl, I sure have an American passion: Football (and I don’t mean soccer). In 2006 I barely knew it existed but then I met my husband and then of course his Father. Let’s just say Football is a big part of the Pope family with my husband playing college football and my father-in-law being one of the coaches for the NY Giants.
