How to Travel with a Bedwetter

What to do when traveling with a child that wets the bed

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and GoodNites, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BetterNights  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO (And these tips are still awesome regardless of this legal mumbo jumbo). Bedwetting in older children is more common than most people realize. We have a child in our family that still has issues with wetting the bed at night. For their privacy, I won't tell you which one but it's something that we have dealt with for awhile. Their sisters know about it but we've talked to them about why … [Read more...]

It was a long day.  Last night we stayed out much later than we usually do which resulted in the kids going to bed very very late. This morning when my alarm went off for … [Read more...]

Mason Jar Travel Cups

DIY super easy Mason Jar Travel Lids from Clumsy Crafter

A few months ago I started seeing these cute Mason Jar Travel Cups all over the place. They're inexpensive and the easiest craft you'll do this year but I had to wait a few months before I could make my own DIY Mason Jar Travel Mug.  So why is that? Why did I wait? Because Ball Mason Jar lids used to have BPA in the lid. It was in the clear plastic coating that protects the bottom of the metal lid from rusting when it's in contact with liquids. It was sad that so many people were making and using these jars to be safer by using glass but really each time their drink splashed against the … [Read more...]
