Happy Haul: Totspotter KelseyMW

by Totspot Team

It’s not easy having a toddler and a newborn, but try shopping with a toddler and a newborn in tow. Actually, we take that back – please don’t try it!

Hauling two little ones to the mall is no easy feat, but with a kids store like Totspot in your hand, shopping for two littles is actually is easier said than done, and as user KelseyMW explains in this video, even kind of relaxing. Watch and see what Kelsey scooped up for her kids, Nolan and Sawyer. We promise you’ll be squealing at cuteness all throughout!

Kid Style Icon: Erin’s Adam

by Totspot Team

We’d like to nominate a new baby for crib king – Adam, the son of Calivintage blogger Erin Hagstrom. When your mama is a fashion blogger this stylish, it’s not surprising that Adam is so, so well dressed, and taking a look at Erin’s own style, you can see where baby gets his look from. Erin’s personal color palette is perfectly muted and – you guessed it – inspired by all things vintage. Adam, in his sweet nautical numbers and sailor caps, is no different. We love every Insta that comes from this baby-mommy pair, so much that we had to go beyond the like button and dedicate this post to them.

We love Adam’s bonnets and caps, leggings and pudgy little legs, sweet smile and his seemingly innate ability to always be camera-ready for mommy. Currently only 21 weeks old, we can’t wait to see this sweet little one grow (how cute he’ll be!) and how Erin will continue to dress him.

Loving Two

by Totspot Team

Not long ago we wrote a blog post about how to deal with a jealous older child when your second comes along. Today we simply are reposting a beautiful piece we found detailing the difficulty – and beauty – of loving two. The author is unfortunately unknown.

I walk along holding your 2-year-old hand, basking in the glow of our magical relationship. Suddenly I feel a kick from within, as if to remind me that our time alone is limited. And I wonder: how could I ever love another child as I love you?

Then he is born, and I watch you. I watch the pain you feel at having to share me as you’ve never shared me before.

I hear you telling me in your own way, please love only me. And I hear myself telling you in mine, I can’t, knowing, in fact, that I never can again.

You cry. I cry with you. I almost see our new baby as an intruder on the precious relationship we once shared. A relationship we can never quite have again.

But then, barely noticing, I find myself attached to that new being, and feeling almost guilty. I’m afraid to let you see me enjoying him, as though I am betraying you.

But then I notice your resentment change, first to curiosity, then to protectiveness, finally to genuine affection.

More days pass, and we are settling into a new routine. The memory of days with just the two of us is fading fast.

But something else is replacing those wonderful times we shared, just we two. There are new times, only now, we are three. I watch the love between you grow, the way you look at each other, touch each other.

I watch how he adores you, as I have for so long. I see how excited you are by each of his new accomplishments. And I begin to realize that I haven’t taken something from you, I’ve given something to you. I notice that I am no longer afraid to share my love openly with both of you.

I find that my love for each of you is as different as you are, but equally strong. And my question is finally answered, to my amazement. Yes, I can love another child as much as I love you, only differently.

And although I realize that you may have to share my time, I now know you’ll never share my love. There’s enough of that for both of you, you each have your own supply.

I love you – both. And I thank you both for blessing my life.
