Get Curious About What’s In The Milk
As parents of two boys, we think we know all about their growing up milk. After all, Josiah is 7 and Jordan is 4, we have at least 7 years’ experience about what kind of milk they need.

We talked about how to find balance in the use of digital devices with our children. We all now live in the era of digital parenting. Personally, it is not even easy for me to unplug from the screen. I face multiple screens all day from the moment I open my eyes till I go to sleep. My kids started using the iPad from a very young age too. Some things that I do to balance it out are: Take them out more – Go…
