Tipping is a sticky subject! Around the holidays, we like to express our appreciation for a year of hard work and service, but it can be hard to know what is appropriate. I'm a giver by nature and like to take care of others, so I really thrive at the holidays! Before we get started, let's just get this out in the open. It has been a hard few years for everyone.

Essentials for Outdoor Play in Winter
We spend a lot of time outdoors. I aim for one hour of fresh air play every day, and I rarely say no when Jack asks for more! Outdoor play is so important for development, and it helps that it really wears them out for nap time! When I share snaps of our outdoor playtime on Instagram stories, I always get DMs about it! Sometimes they're asking about what I do when it rains or is cold, and sometimes it's about a specific toy or clothing item pictured. If you're looking to add some outdoor play ...
