POV: My kiddo turned 3 and moved up to the next swim level. Here are some of the skills our toddlers learn during each 30min. weekly swim lesson.

Water safety is incredibly important! Swim lessons can start as early as 6mo. old with a parent and child class. You can take swim classes even as an adult! Plus it’s an amazing low impact exercise! Consistency is key. I’d love to answer any questions you have in the comments!

I got a Mommy Makeover for my birthday! (Makeup only.) After 7yrs of raising kiddos, l’m done nursing and our youngest is potty-trained. Yay! I’m prioritizing self care and finding myself again as I’ve been back in the gym and losing weight. So I booked a makeup tutorial appointment with a local makeup artist @makeupby.boun so I could learn how to do makeup including different looks. She also gave me a list of each product she used so I can practice doing my own makeup at home. Let me know in the comments what self care looks like for you!

Do you Montessori at home? Check out our shelfie update including these new items from the Storyteller Play Kit from @lovevery First, our toddler practiced his letter sounds with the (double sided) Letter Sounds Animal Puzzle since he’s just learning to read. Then we put the easy connect fort set together to create the puppet theater. You should have seen the look on his face! Pure excitement! Then our 3yr old told us a story wearing this puppet set with changing emotion eyes. And I may or may not have crawled into the puppet theater to put on a puppet show with him. 🙈 Just wait until you see the Squeeze and Spray Mop!

You can shop these play kits through the link in my bio. Just click on “As seen on Instagram” then click “Lovevery Montessori Toys.” I’ll also add the link in my stories under “Montessori.”

I’m leaving the comments open for questions!

My daughter accidentally fell into the pool during

My daughter accidentally fell into the pool during our summer vacation while I was holding my toddler. My heart sank in that moment as I looked for a safe place to put my toddler so I could jump in and save her. But suddenly my daughter had already surfaced and my grandmother was yelling for her to “SWIM!!!” Then she started to swim exactly like she learned in swim lessons! I couldn’t believe it!!!! I burst into tears as she made it to the edge of the pool and climbed out ON HER OWN. I’ve never felt so panicked before and I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest during those few seconds. It seemed like time stood still. THANK YOU to @arkansasswimacademy for teaching my daughter these life changing skills!!!

If you’re a parent, please do whatever it takes to teach your children water safety. One day, it could save their life.

Benny the Brave - “The First Day Jitters”
Keisha the Kind - “My Little Sister Situation”
Chloe the Calm - “The Bedtime Blues”
