LÍLLÉbaby Review and a Giveaway
I never used a carrier with Hudson. I bought a couple but just preferred carrying him around in my arms. With two kids that’s just not possible. Plus, I never realized how much easier life is with a baby carrier! I’ve had the opportunity to try many different brands and I absolutely love the LÍLLÉbaby! I love […]

Bottle Feeding a Breastfed Baby
Bottle feeding a breastfed baby can be a whole new exercise in frustration. They can absolutely refuse to take a bottle, and I’m sure you’ve heard many moms complain about this exact thing.

39 Week Bumpdate and a GIVEAWAY
Yup, still pregnant. Hahahah I went to 40 weeks and 1 day with Hudson so I’m not surprised. The prodromal labor is good and bad some days. Last night was a bad one. But other than that, we’re doing good! Hudson has been super sweet and loving and I’ve spent the past week just soaking […]

It’s time to pack that hospital bag! Since this is my second go-around, I feel much more confident in my packing abilities. Last time, we showed up to the hospital with 3 suitcases!

I’m in the home stretch now! We’re currently scrambling with trying to get the house finished, etc. Jason and I did this with Hudson too. For some reason, we think the house needs to be fully decorated before she gets here. Like the baby is gonna care if we have pictures on the walls. It’s […]
Nuna Leaf Review and a Nuna Mixx Giveaway!
I have a very serious question: how did our parents live without the AH-mazing baby gear we get to enjoy today? I don’t know how they did it! Especially after trying out this Nuna Leaf. Remember those bouncers our parents used to put us in? They were borderline risks for Shaken Baby Syndrome. Now, though, […]
