Babies ages 18 months and up will love making this puzzle with these silly robots and then standing them up for pretended play. Using these cute wooden robot puzzle pieces helps develop imagination and creativity, social skills, self discovery, problem solving, physical skills and fine motor skills too. Puzzles are an excellent gift for toddlers who are learning to do things with their hands.

If robots aren’t your toddler’s thing, there is also an excellent chunky fish puzzle from Melissa and Doug that helps toddlers begin to learn colors. If you want to work on teaching them shapes, the Melissa & Doug Chunky Shape Puzzle is a great choice.

My 18 month old’s favorite puzzle is the Melissa & Doug Farm Puzzle because he likes to make the sounds of the animals while he’s making the puzzle. No matter which puzzle you choose, your child is sure to benefit from making puzzles at this age!

6 – 8 Years Old

Stick Together Craft Kits

This year has been mentally draining for all of us, especially young kids who can’t fully grasp the gravity of what’s going on with the pandemic and the world in general. Making time for quiet, hands-on activities like puzzles and crafts can not only give kid’s the peace and quiet they deserve but can also improve the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, which helps with concentration, memory, and motivation as well as help boost overall mental health. Instead of having kids do yet another jigsaw puzzle, switch things up and give them something they really love—stickers!

StickTogether is similar to paint by number where the child uses a coded poster board and a color key code that tells them where each sticker goes on the board. Once all of the stickers have been placed on the board, a fun pixelated image forms that they can hang on their wall or give as a gift! With over 40 kits to choose from, there is something for everyone! StickTogether craft kits make a great gift for kids ages 5 and up. It’s fun for adults too!

This is a great, inexpensive gift that you’ll be surprised how 6-8 year olds will really get a kitck out of this thing! It will be a huge hit! Great gift for a Yankee swap as well.

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds.

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
