Rock-A-Bye Baby

Trying to put the twins down for their afternoon nap or bedtime can be a struggle... Sometimes, instead of just quietly rocking them in my arms before they sleep, I play some soothing music as they lay in the crib. It works wonders! Sometimes, my two and a half year old sleeps to it, too :) Music that has worked for us consist of a lullaby radio station on Pandora, children's music I've found on Spotify, a couple of CD's I've borrowed from the library and a Discovery Toys album my mom used to play for my sister and I when we were young. Out of all of these, I have compiled some of my personal favorites, and made a couple of lovely playlists for you on Spotify! See below for links and references to all the music we've been listening to! Enjoy!

*Side Note: We try to keep the twins on the same schedule for everything. It just makes our chaotic life easier and everyone's happy :) Plus routine helps our days run smoothly. I'm proud to say, most of the time, all three kiddos take their afternoon nap at the same time. Yippee! Free hands for me to get things done!
