These ladies have been unbelievable throughout this motherhood journey and especially leading up to the birth of Conley and after. We do Mother Night's Out at different cool restaurants, we do weekly play dates text to meet up when the weather is nice to go to the park, and when someone is having a baby we bring them meals and use the online website Take Them a Meal.
A few nights ago, we met up to make Toddler Busy Bags because one mom was going to make one for her daughter, and she figured why not invite the rest of us.
So we all brought some food and wine and chatted it up while making these AWESOME toddler activity bags. Here's my loot (10 bags) and also the Pinterest links for the activities.

So far the games I have tried with Nolan have been a huge hit! We all voted on the games to narrow down what we would make. As the kids grow, we'll make some more that have more difficulty.
And always remember you can follow me on Pinterest to see more Toddler Learning Activities that I have been pinning!
