Nanny to Mommy

Back at the very beginning of December, my family and in-laws got professional pictures taken for the first time in a while. They were absolutely stunning. If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen some of them sporadically.

Right now, things are so around here for me and the kiddos. We are homeschooling and that has taken up a big chunk of time, but I am also purging, reorganizing, and re-decorating all the things! I recently had the opportunity to work with CanvasOnDemand for a few canvas prints. I used the images from our family photoshoot and am absolutely in love with how they turned out!

When it comes to thinking about the future, we can all get a little lost on it. We are all encouraged to live in the moment. Life is too short to dwell on things, be present in the day to day, that sort of thing. But the truth is, we can all agree that while that mentality is a great one to have, time moves forward at a rapid pace, and often we can find ourselves wondering where the time has gone. After all, you are probably wondering where this year has gone. Sometimes it is good to spend a little time thinking about the future, and often the decisions we make, now and in our own near futures can have an impact on our child’s future. With that in mind, here are some of the ways your decisions can impact your child and their future.

Trying for a child is one of those processes that pulls your emotions all over the place. Yes, there is the excitement of hoping to bring a new life into the world, always a positive feeling. But with trying, of course, comes the fear of failure. Add into the mix the anticipation, frustration, doubt and love that you'll be feeling, and it is a very strange and wonderful mix. This isn't enough to stop us trying, of course, but it helps to be ready.

One thing that needs to be said about trying for a baby is that it's not easy and although there is a lot of information and a lot of assistance out there, you may still find that it's not your first time lucky. It may not be the second time either. You just need to keep up hope that it will be one of these times. Persistence may be necessary. After all, it's not like the process is all bad, is it?One thing that needs to be borne in mind as you prepare to bring a new life into the world is that you can't have too much help. You may feel like you're getting too much advice but the more advice the better, you will soon find your feet and work out what is best for you. You will be swamped full of questions in your mind such as will my baby need special bedding, how much cold baby formula will be needed and many things will go round in your mind.

Students in Greg Landry’s online science classes have had a lot of questions about COVID-19 (by the way, this is not the name of the virus), and your children may also have questions. Greg has created a PDF to address the common questions and to give students an understanding of viruses in general, and this virus in particular...in a way that's fun for students.

When it comes to my children, my top priority each day is making sure I am doing everything I can to support their health. Cold and flu season may be coming to an end, but with all the fear with this current pandemic, the Little DaVinci® mighty vite multivitamin couldn't have been delivered to our house at a more perfect time.




We typically use a variety of supplements including elderberry for immune support, probiotics for gut health, and a multivitamin to fill in any nutritional gaps, especially B vitamins and vitamin C. This is a lot of different supplements for my children to take first thing in the morning, which is why I love Little DaVinci® mighty vite. This children’s supplement not only combines these three nutritional aspects but does it all in one powder!
