February 2026: The Perfect Calendar, the Brutal Cold, and the Tiny Clay Heart That Made It All Worth It

Image
A perfect February, frozen pipes, clay earrings, and a whole lot of gratitude Have you looked at a calendar this month? No, seriously. Go look. February 2026 is one of those rare months where the calendar looks like someone designed it on purpose. It starts on a Sunday, ends on a Saturday, and every single day of the week appears exactly four times. A perfect rectangle. No spillover. No awkward gaps. Just four clean weeks of organized bliss. The internet is calling it a "Perfect February," and the last time this happened was 2015. The next one won't come around until 2037. So yeah, soak it in. This is the most visually satisfying calendar page you'll see for over a decade. And honestly? As a parent navigating this chaotic, beautiful, exhausting life—I'll take any bit of perfection I can get, even if it's just a calendar. Happy Valentine's Day (From the Craft Table) Valentine's Day landed on a Saturday this year, which meant we actually had ...

Tips for Revamping Your Child's Gear this Season, rotate out those Winters

With the change of seasons, it's the perfect time to revamp your child's gear and rotate out those winter items. Here are some tips to help you get started:

- Take inventory: Start by taking inventory of your child's gear. Sort through their winter clothes, toys, and equipment to see what can be repurposed or donated.

- Clean and organize: Before storing winter items, make sure to clean and organize them. This will help preserve their quality and make it easier to find them when needed next season.

- Assess for wear and tear: Check each item for any signs of wear and tear. If something is damaged or no longer safe to use, it's best to dispose of it properly and look for a replacement.

- Research new options: If your child has outgrown certain gear or needs an upgrade, do some research to find the best sustainable options available. Hello BUBS is a great place to start, as you can find quality pre-loved items at affordable prices.

- Donate or sell unused items: Instead of letting unused items gather dust, consider donating or selling them. This not only helps someone else in need but also reduces waste and promotes a cycle of reuse.

By following these tips, you can revamp your child's gear in a sustainable way, saving money and contributing to a greener future.

Summer Check-In and Thoughts on Traveling Internationally with Kids

Summer Vibes Hello Hello BUBS Family, How’s everyone’s summer going so far? It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through—time really does fly, doesn't it? Before we know it, it’ll be "Back to School, Back to School" (for those of you who know, I'm quoting Adam Sandler in Billy Madison)! I’ve got wanderlust on the mind, and I'm betting some of you do, too. Especially when it comes to bringing the kiddos for some international adventures. So, how do you survive those long-haul flights? Got any magic tricks for keeping the peace in the skies? I'd love to hear your hacks!    Turn Your Trip Into a Game Travel can be a awesome adventure, especially through the eyes of your children. I came across this great article by Alison Fox  She talks about how to make the trip for your kids more exciting, why not turn it into a game?  Ask children to point out things that are new to them. You can do a treasure hunt for them. Finding Your Zen on the Go: Parents' Time...

Hug Your Children Tighter Tonight

When Our Community Breaks: Processing Tragedy as Parents I'm writing this with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart that I know so many of you share right now. On Friday afternoon, just three blocks from Hamilton Park in Jersey City, a 6yr old boy was riding his bicycle near his home when he was struck and killed by a UPS truck. He was with his father. He was doing what kids do—riding his bike, probably excited about the weekend ahead. And now he's gone. If you're a parent reading this, I know you felt that same punch to the gut when you heard the news. That instant, nauseating recognition that it could have been your child. That it could have been you standing there, watching your world shatter in an instant. The Fragility of Everything As parents, we spend so much time thinking about the big scary things like stranger danger , serious illnesses, accidents that happen to other people. But this? This was a child riding his bike with his dad on a Friday afternoon. This was nor...

Breaking the Isolation: How Technology Connects Modern Parents

Image
Digital Parenting Communities: How Technology Connects Modern Parents This morning, over a latte at one of my regular coffee shops, I had a conversation with the owner about the evolving landscape of parenting communities. We discussed how technology has transformed the way parents connect, not just in our urban neighborhood, but across the country. She shared stories of friends in smaller towns who've found their parenting tribes through apps and online communities, proving that meaningful connections don't always require physical proximity. "It's fascinating," she reflected, "how parents everywhere, whether they're in a busy city like ours or in a quiet town hours from the nearest playgroup, can now tap into instant support and friendship through their phones." The conversation highlighted how technology isn't just connecting parents, it's erasing the boundaries between urban and rural parenting experiences, creating a shared ...
