Favourite Toddler Books
It's been awhile since we've shared our recent favourite toddler books. Here is a link to all of my posts about books for toddlers and babies.
Below I'm sharing our current favourite books.
Emery finds this book hilarious. The basis of the story is about a Horse who is very jealous of the Unicorn, and how in the end they become friends. It's very witty and the illustrations are fun & beautiful. There is a little bit of potty humour in this book (a.k.a about a certain little gas 😉), which might be why Emery finds it so funny, haha!
Emery would have me read this book over and over again. It's about a little girl named Lola Dutch who has the most active, wild imagination and just filled with tons of ideas. She has a little crew of animal friends and always turns their simple daily activities into the grandest of adventures. The illustrations are beautiful and filled with wonderful details. Emery loves to always quote this book which is so cute!
This is a wonderful, heartfelt book for little girls and big girls everywhere. It's a love letter written to your little girl reminding them of how strong, smart, and important they are. There is a reason this book is a #1 New York Times Best Seller. I usually tear up every time I read this. It's a great reminder for Emery but also for myself.
Now this is a delightfully fun book! It's a great book for quiet time because there are so many things to look for on each page, and the illustrations are so visually pleasing. There are different scenes such as the beach, park, pool, etc. It teaches your child about numbers, colors, shapes, and opposites. You also have to find the Cat-and-Mouse on each page which is a game in itself.
What are some of your favourite toddler books at the moment? I love finding new ones!

A Little Mom Self Care Goes a Long Way
Whenever I go shopping for a new top, I tend to gravitate towards white blouses for some reason. Which is really practical with toddlers, right? So last time I went searching for a new blouse, I decided to mix it up and go for this bright red Free People one. Although I did see that Anthropologie had a very similar white one which of course I'm digging too, haha!
It seems lately, that most days, I don't really do my hair or put on make-up, let alone wear anything cute. I spend so much time focusing on feeding the kids and getting them ready for the day, that getting myself ready falls to the wayside. Why as Moms do we tend to do this? It's so hard finding the balance of looking after your family and looking after yourself.
I've been trying to do things such as curling my hair the night before, planning the kids outfits and setting them out, prepping snacks & sticking them in the fridge and more to help getting ready easier for the next day. This way I have a little more time to get ready and look put together.
Another secret hack of mine? If we are going out for the day, I buckle the kids in to their car seats and then I sit and do my make-up in the car. They are usually happy and content reading books or playing, so it's a win-win. Any other Moms do this?
I always feel better when I am dressed in something other then sweats, with my hair done and a little make-up on. Is anyone else this way? It's just a little basic self care for Mama that goes a long way. Anyone else this way? Share your tips and tricks with me!
