Last week I reached out to my personal and Tiny Oranges Facebook friends for recommendations on good summer reads.
So many people had good book recommendations, I had to share the list with you. I just finished Gone Girl, and it was SO GOOD. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend if you haven’t read.
The moment I became a mom I instantly became obsessed with the question, “How much sleep does my child need?“
Every time my child is cranky or going through a challenging phase, I always find myself wondering if they are getting enough sleep. Nice to have something to blame it on, right mamas?!
If kids don’t get the sleep they need, things can get ugly. That can go for moms too. Just sayin’!
In the course of working with Serta as a brand ambassador for their amazing mattresses, I learned of their partnership with the National Sleep Foundation. Serta’s Perfect Sleeper is the official mattress of the National Sleep Foundation.
Since this organization is an expert on all things sleep related, I poked around to see what they had to say about children and sleep, and came across this great article I wanted to share with you.
What do you think? Would love to hear your comments below.

This post is on my top tips for flying with toddlers.
Summer has arrived in full swing. And that means some sort of travel for many families. And flying. With your children. Did anyone else just gulp?
My hubby and I have traveled cross-country with our kiddos, as well as hopped one-hour flights. We’ve been delayed, changed planes twice (hmmm, maybe three times?) in one day, been diverted to different airports, had our luggage lost, and had our kids get sick en route.
I’m knocking on wood somewhere…but I think we’ve seen A LOT when it comes to flying with kiddos.
So, here are some of my top tips for flying with toddlers and preschoolers – I hope they help you and your family this summer!
I can’t believe it’s already the middle of July, I feel like summer is flying by!
Last weekend, in an effort to get out and enjoy things I can only do in the summer, I took the kids to The Butterfly House at The Environmental Center in Newport Beach.
The Butterfly House is only open from May – September and although I had been to the ENC before, I’ve never been during these months.
