Drop it like it’s hot —27-month-old

“Let's start by taking a smallish nap or two."—Winnie the Pooh. Oh, naps—they are so confusing. On the one hand, they give us a much needed break. On the other hand, we have to plan our whole day around them. So how do you know when to let them go? Turns out, there are some guidelines around this to make the decision a little easier.

But rest assured, your child isn't defiant, she's just learning how to navigate her way. It WILL get easier, mama. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Go ahead and get delivery tonight, mama.

Perfect strike —27-month-old

No one is you, and that is your superpower. Parenting is like bumper bowling (minus the awesome shoes). Your toddler is the bowling ball (obviously), life is the alley, and you are the bumpers—while you can keep your little bowling ball essentially on course, there's not always a whole lot you can do while they are navigating the alley. So take a deep breath, and try to enjoy the game. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Now you want to go bowling? Melissa & Doug's Monster Bowling Game is perfect for you and your little monster.

“We love with a love that is more than love." —Edgar Allen Poe. If your family is growing (yay!), one of your 17,000 thoughts might be about where to have your little ones sleep. Turns out that when siblings spend time together, the whole family benefits! So deciding to bunk your tots together may be one thing on your list you can go ahead and ✔️. XO, TeamMotherly P.S.

Thank you —3 years old!

“What is mom but the sunshine of our days." —Robert Brault. Children are inherently good. Sure, they may have trouble sharing, and getting a "thank you" is sometimes impossible. But their hearts really are pure and kind. What an amazing opportunity it is for us to foster and encourage what already exists within them! And on this latest journey around the sun, it's fun to look back at the magic you've created. Look at you, making the world better, one toddler a time. Happy Birthday, sweet one. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. For a book that teaches kids to be kind to others, you'll both love Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud.

And just like last time, you'll super-mama your babe through this rough time, and before you both know it, you'll be back to your normal routine—only with more teeth! XO, TeamMotherly P.S.

Be right back –32-month-old

Keep calm and toddler on. Spending time away from your child (because you need to go to work, or need to get a massage) can be hard, especially when they voice their (loud) displeasure. But we promise, they will be ok. You are absolutely allowed—and encouraged—to do what you need to do for YOU. Your kiddo will be happier for it, we promise.XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. For staying organized through all the things we do when we're out and about, we adore Dagne Dover totes.

Namaste ✌️—35-month-old

Just breathe. Toddlers' emotions escalate from zero to sixty before we even realize they are upset.

And there are some fun things to do when you're ready to let the feelings go.XO, TeamMotherlyP.S.

“I'm only going to say this once"—me, daily x 9. Watching your child develop their little (or ginormous) personality is so exciting, but let's be real—it can be utterly exhausting too. Sometimes it seems like it's a "mother knows best" vs. "toddler wants EVERYTHING" battle all the time. But take heart, mama. Your little fighter is growing up to be a strong adult, because of you.

Rooted in routine —28-month-old

If you stumble, make it part of the dance. Every second of motherhood feels like a mystery—you never know what your toddler is going to do (or say) next (hello, stories at the top of their lungs in the grocery store). But the truth is, toddlers THRIVE under routine. And with a little adjustment, you can too! XO, TeamMotherly

Inseparable —25-month-old

If you are a mom, you are a superhero, period. Your toddler wants to be with you ALL. THE. TIME. (Anyone else have little fingers sneaking under the door frame when they're in the bathroom?) While it's sweet, it's also stressful, especially when you need to work (or have a much needed date night). Understanding the WHY can help you make small but meaningful changes that really help.

When you are intentional with your praise, you can help foster confidence and joy—and keep that good stuff coming. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Your child's not the only one who deserve an award.

Your kiddo is so lucky (and happy) to have you. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. To promote speech development, play games that allow lots of opportunity for words and sounds, like the Fisher-Price Little People Animal Friends Farm.
