One of my favorite things to do in the summer is seeing my plants and gardens grow. Teddy loves being outside. It relaxes him, entertains him, gives him a little dose of Vitamin D, but on of the best parts is the opportunity for sensory learning experiences. There are so many colors, textures, smells, tastes and sounds you can hear in the garden. Teddy loves to point at the flowers and I will tell him what color it is and…
Nothing is more stylish than good ol’ fashioned black and white. Modern Scandi nurseries with black and white decor are clean, trendy and totally pin-worthy. I love decorating with books because they are cute, inexpensive and educational. Here are my five favorite black and white board books to adorn your nursery shelves.

![Thank you everyone for all the colicky baby tips! Scottie has been a little better this week. We are on week 2 of a dairy-free, soy-free diet, started Zantac, gas drops and I had her evaluated by an IBCLC. It turns out she has a little posterior tongue tie which is making it hard to get enough food which could be contributing to her fussiness. Has anyone had a little one with a tongue tie that they didn’t get corrected? I read an uncorrected tie can cause trouble with solids and speech issues later on. Experiences?
