Tis’ the season of family gatherings, parties, fun traditions, and more. It really is my favorite time of year. For some parents, it’s an extremely stressful time especially if you’re balancing all of the holiday fun while running on empty. Let’s talk about the holidays and your child’s sleep. If your kiddo is not a great sleeper, I can help. If you’ve got the sleep thing down, I’ll share tips on keeping it intact while during this season of joy.
If I had to name the number one reason toddler and preschool moms reach out to me, it’s this:

Naps are a HOT topic for parents. When teaching your baby to be a rockstar sleeper, naps can be the last thing to fall into place.

The start of the new school year is around the corner and the number one thing kids need is a good night’s sleep. Here are 5 tips for parents to make sure kids are getting adequate and healthy sleep before all the learning begins. School may not be how we all imagined it would this year, but our kids still need great sleep.
When you're ready to start sleep training, your partner can be your secret weapon. Seriously.
When we’re teaching a baby or toddler to fall asleep independently, one of the biggest challenges is breaking the association between sleep and nursing (or rocking, bouncing, etc.).
I love all that summertime brings—longer days, vacations, perfect weather, and the relaxed pace of life. As a kid, I cherished running around the neighborhood, playing outside until the sun dipped below the horizon. Now, as a mom, I look forward to this time of year even more, as it offers the opportunity for extended evenings and slower mornings.
