Let’s fly —33-month-old

Don't ever lose your sense of wonder. To a child, the most "ordinary" things are magical—an ant walking on the sidewalk, the first snowfall of the season, a bird flying in the sky—and if you think about, it IS all pretty amazing. Take some time to join them as they marvel at these little miracles. And pretty soon, you'll believe in the magic too. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Magnatiles inspire hours of creative play for kids and parents!

Chomp chomp —27-month-old

Find me where the wild things are. Your toddler's pearly white are adorable… until they're locked on your arm flesh. Naughty behaviors like biting and hitting can be tough to deal with. Remember that this is a phase, and with some loving firmness from you, your tot will be on his way to a biting free existence. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. For teaching your little one what his teeth are meant for, check out Teeth are Not For Biting by Elizabeth Verdick.

Keep it simple, mama —32-month-old

There is beauty in simplicity. Having a toddler means 3 things—love, noise and STUFF. It's easy for our homes to become quickly overrun by toys, stuffed animals and Legos on the floor (#ouch). Ever have the urge to just bundle it up and donate it all? You might actually be on to something… aren't you clever! XO, TeamMotherly

It’ll be okay —33-month-old

Love is in the air, and it smells like coffee. You know what, mama? Sometimes it's just really hard. You try and you try, and yet for seemingly no reason, your toddler has (yet another) melt down. We just want to let you know that you are doing an AMAZING job, and your efforts are not in vain. You've got this. XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. To help make things more ok, Blue Bottle Coffee pairs chocolate AND coffee together for you and we love them for it.

Yummy Mummy —29-month-old

May your coffee be stronger than your toddler. Picky eating and toddlerhood usually come in hand-in-hand, and it can be down right stressful. But don't worry—there are ways to make mealtime easy and dare we say it, fun. Hint: playing with your food is not only allowed, it's encouraged . XO, TeamMotherly P.S.

I’ll do it myself —33-month-old

Put on your positive pants.Independence is a glorious thing—though that's hard to remember when you're already 10 minutes late for daycare and you toddler INSISTS on putting her own shoes on… poorly. But hang tough, mama. Fostering independence now will set you both up for an exciting and more joyful future. XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. Pretend play is a great way to encourage their independence, and all kids love pretending in play kitchens!

A little bit louder now —26-month-old

There is a time and place for wine. Now, and in my hand. We've all been told to ignore the tantrums, that they are just a cry for attention. But what if it's more than that? What is it's not actually about attention, but connection? Sometimes a hug is just what is needed… for your toddler and for you. (And sometimes mama just needs a glass of wine and time to unwind with her friends. That helps, too.)XO, TeamMotherly P.S. In My Heart: A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek is awesome for helping little ones connect with and identify their emotions.

Your love is —31-month-old

I'm just winging it. Motherhood, eyeliner, everything. Let's face we it—moms today are under a lot of pressure. Whether inflicted by social media or ourselves, we spend so much time trying to be "perfect." But here's the thing—to your child, you already are. All he wants is your attention and love, and you're already an expert at that. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. I Love You Stinky Face by Lisa McCourt gives us all the feels about all the ways we love our littles.

Please + thank you ✔️—28-month-old

My mini me is awesome. Those little eyes are ALWAYS on you ?—1. You are gorgeous, and 2. You are her biggest role model. As your little human watches you be a good human, she is learning so much about how to become an awesome member of society. Pretty powerful stuff, mama. P.S. Try play that requires lots of "pleases" and "thank yous," like a tea party with Green Toys Tea Set.

Tiny human, HUGE feelings —25-month-old

Grow through what you go through. If you ever wonder how such a little person can have such big (and loud) feelings, you are not alone. It's so hard, but also so normal. Instead of thinking to yourself "she's giving me a hard time," try "she's having a hard time"—the little switch can help you bring your stress level down a bit. Hang in there, mama. You've got this. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. For the really hard moments, check out Motherly's bundle of Mama Meditations.
