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 ...

New Year, New Adventures: Making Space for the Memories to Come

BUBS New Year Update

Hey there, BUBS family!

Can you believe it's 2025 already? Hope you all had an amazing holiday season with your little ones!

Some Big News... 

I've got to share something super exciting... We just welcomed a little one to the world! Yep, I'm back in the sleep-deprived parents club now with our beautiful baby girl. These past few weeks have been a wild ride of midnight feeds, figuring out diaper changes, and soaking in all those newborn snuggles. 

Talk about hands-on research for Hello Bubs, right? 

You All Rock! 

December was huge for us. So many of you reached out with amazing suggestions and feedback about the app. We're seriously blown away by how engaged and helpful you all are! Not gonna lie, between baby cuddles and catching whatever sleep we can, development has been moving a bit slower than usual (fellow parents, you know how it goes!). 

But don't worry, we're going through every single piece of feedback you've sent our way.

What's Cooking? 

Even with the new baby chaos, our awesome team is plugging away at some cool updates based on what you've told us. We're working on:

  • Making the app easier to navigate (because who has time for complicated menus with a baby, right?)
  • Adding more ways to customize your tracking (because every baby is different!)
  • Tweaking things here and there based on your suggestions We'll be rolling these out bit by bit over the next few weeks. 
*No rushing. We want to make sure everything works just right for you all.

Looking Ahead 

 

I've got to say, I'm getting back into my groove with the baby. But there's so much new techniques I've learned, that I jot down notes between diaper changes about features I wish I had right now (usually at 3 AM). There's nothing like living it to really understand what could make parents' lives easier. Thanks for sticking with us and being the most amazing community we could ask for. Your messages and support mean everything, especially during this crazy wonderful time. 

Here's to an awesome 2025 – may it be filled with lots of baby giggles, tiny victories, and maybe even a full night's sleep! (Hey, we can dream, right?) 

Catch you soon!

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...
