I was super excited when Baby Bodyguards contacted me and asked to work together. Although this is my third baby, I have felt more unsafe this time around than with the other two. My issue is that my boys are older now and are doing things that Cody wasn’t doing when I had Grayson as […]

This is my first child in Kindergarten so it was an adjustment to say the least. Gone are the days we can all go out for the day at the Zoo or an outing without having to be anywhere. Thankfully, our bus pickup ended up being afternoon Kindy for us… I am happy to put […]

Building Confidence at The Little Gym Mason

by MHSjennie January 22, 2014

I have been a huge supporter of The Little Gym Mason since Cody started taking classes there when he was 2! Cody was a VERY shy toddler and just wasn’t comfortable in new situations. One of the HUGE factors that played into building his confidence was The Little Gym. If you have a more introverted […]

how to keep your kids from climbing out

OMG! That is ALL I have to say about this ingenious creation! I was definitely one of the those moms that waited as LONG as I could to change Cody over from a crib to a big boy bed. In my opinion, why let them out of their cage crib until you have to?! lol!! […]

Transforming from baby to big boy: Crying, Crying and more Crying

by Jennie May 1, 2012

We tried so hard for Cody and once he was finally here, all we could imagine was holding our little precious bundle in our arms. Well, it didn’t go exactly as we had envisioned! You couldn’t just hold Cody in the beginning. You had to bounce him and bounce him and bounce him some more. […]
