As a mom of two toddlers in 2020 it's so hard to stay organized with everything. Some days I feel like I have it all together. I get up early to get ready and drink coffee before the kids get up, breakfast goes smoothly, we head out on an outing in the morning and seamlessly make it to nap time. Other days (these seem to happen more often) I feel like I'm constantly trying to play catch up. Re-heating my coffee a few times, cleaning up constant messes, not making it out of my pjs before noon and realizing I we're out of diapers/laundry detergent/sunblock/wipes, etc even though I just went shopping the day before.

Have you ever seen a happier leopard?! I can't believe Halloween is just over a month away. For the second year in a row Crosby told me what she wants to be and what she wants Wilder to be. She definitely calls the shots! Last year she was a butterfly and he was a frog, but I had to put him in her old baby leopard costume for a few photos too. Crosby wore this in a Halloween fashion show on Access Hollywood Live when she was 7 months old and fell asleep on camera. Wilder seemed to love wearing it and was just about the cuddliest little leopard cub.

Thanksgiving is next week and there are just over 6 weeks until Christmas. So crazy! I know it's cliche to say, but I can't believe how fast this year has gone. This time last year I was pregnant with Wilder and now he's over seven months old and getting ready for his first holiday season. I'm also trying to prepare for the holidays and today I wanted to share a gift guide with my favorite items for newborns and infants - and mostly, their parents!

Crosby just turned two and a half and it might be my favorite age yet. She's absolutely hilarious, sweet and so busy. She almost never stops unless I have a fun project for her to do. Lately when Wilder takes his morning nap, Crosby and I do something fun together. I needed some new crafts to keep her busy so I went on Walmart.com and ordered a few for Next Day delivery.

Loading two kids in and out of the car running errands is so exhausting. I've learned to be really choosy about the errands we run. One thing I learned from motherhood early on, was to do any hack to make it easier. My #1 tip is Walmart's Next Day Delivery. I really don't know how anyone was a mom before 2019 when you an get just about anything delivered to your doorstep.

Last week on instagram I shared a few pieces we have in Crosby's room to keep it organized and I got a lot of questions so I thought it could be an interesting blog post. It all started when we moved Crosby into her new room a couple of months before Wilder was born. We wanted the nursery to be the room closest to ours. It was a relatively seamless transition and we were glad to have it done and have her comfortable with her new room before Wilder was born.
