Your head is spinning. Your bank account is crying. Your pants are too tight. Your kids' sugar highs have crashed. The weather is frightful. The list goes on and on... Welcome to a Holiday Hangover.

#MyOneWord is exactly what it sounds like: foregoing a list of resolutions and choosing one word to live by for the new year.  If you start googling, you will find thousands of word options, but I suggest you sit down and think through your choice; it will be more meaningful and lasting if you do so.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Now, how are you going to tell the rest of the world that you are pregnant? I mean, the entire social media world needs to know, and you want to tell them all in the most fun (and easy) way possible!

Oh the tiny toddlers that dictate our every move – the little ones who are now speaking actual words and throwing tantrums beyond our wildest dreams; these not-so-tiny babies have a major impact on our holidays.  They make every half-eaten Christmas cookie just a little bit sweeter, right?

We have entered the holiday countdown in our home, and I am your typical Type A mom.  I come from a long line of mothers who liked to paint the holiday canvas as perfection to the viewer’s eye.  I won’t lie, I have struggled with this myself; after all, it’s hard to break the habits you were born in to.

Are you just dying to tell your family the news that you are pregnant, but you want so badly to hold out until the upcoming holiday? At My Baby's Heartbeat Bear, we completely understand your excitement! We are going to try to help you keep your secret and share the news in a big way.

HO! HO! HO! The cheer is contagious. Everyone is happy and kind this time of year.  Don't let the season fly by without making lasting memories with those you love the most.  It's never too early or too late to start family traditions.

This generation of parents – US – we are changing things.  We are parenting in a time when research is readily available, and we are all well aware of the mistakes that have come before us. We are making changes and causing waves, shaking it all up!  (Or trying to anyway.)
