Hi there, I'm Iva! I'm sharing here my experience of being a mom. Make your life easier with an easy daily toddler routine. Create your own daily toddler schedule with fun, educational toddler activities, easy toddler meal ideas and practical things to do with your toddler. We have some of the best ideas for fun, easy and no-prep toddler activities, toddler play and games, so you can have fun with your little one every day. You can choose the best activities for your family and share your own playtime ideas. We love to play with our little one every minute we have free and to turn everything into a game. As parents, we all have a limited amount of time and energy. We might be busy, be constantly tired, annoyed or even burnt out. That’s life sometimes when you are an adult. Becoming a parent gives us a second chance for a brand new life. It gives us the opportunity to make the greatest gift to a human, that we could ever give – a truly magnificent childhood. Let’s take this opportunity and play! Happy Playing!
