The Year’s Best Parenting Tips

When I started my blog, I had next-to-no idea my writing would evolve into posting parenting tips. Initially, my vision was healthy recipes and activities on a simple budget.

My blog stats began dictating I move away from my original concept. And so, I began writing parenting articles and tips more and let go of recipes altogether..

This shift made sense because my heart resides in my kids. Even before becoming a mom, so many of my decisions were rooted in the dream of one day having kids.

I took the babysitting course as soon as I was allowed to, became a high school peer counsellor, studied developmental psychology in University, and volunteered as a Big Sister through Big Brothers and Big Sisters all with the idea of one day becoming a mom.

Despite all of this, when tabulating my blog views for 2015, I was quite surprised at how successful my parenting tips were. I don’t think this in any way indicates my mastery of parenting skills.

Simply it shows, all of us experience similar problems and can profit in what each of us has to say. I’ve been so grateful to have such amazing parents share their own tips either in my posts, or in the comments below.

This week, I have joined many other bloggers lead by Jennifer Hughes of the Jenny Evolution in sharing our best parenting posts of the year.

4. PLANNING AND PARENTING FOR TWO UNDER TWO

Raising two children so close together in age has been the most arduous and rewarding endeavour imaginable. I wrote this post with such a sense of pride, nostalgia, and sleeplessness. I hope many are able to find the same amount of joy (and hopefully way more sleep) than I did. See the post here, or pin it for later by clicking here.

5. WHEN TO GIVE UP YOUR TODDLER’S NAP

This one was written thanks to the help of my friend and Certified Sleep Sense Consultant, Chelsea LePage. It took me longer than I’d like to admit coming to terms with the fact my daughter was over napping. Read the signs your child may be ready to ditch their mid-day zzzs here, or pin it for later by clicking here.
