    Best Bottles for Babies – Top 5 Bottles for 2019

    April 9, 2019 /

      We live in a time when advancements in technology and production rates are increasing at the speed of light. I don’t know about you, but I feel like no matter what I am doing or where I am, I am constantly surrounded with advertisements claiming their products are the bee’s knees. With all of these proclamations and bias ads flashing in your face, it can be a little overwhelming and somewhat confusing when it comes to deciding which items are the best fit for your needs. Choosing the best bottle for your baby is no exception to this. I remember when I was pregnant, and being so caught off…

You wake up in the morning, crawl out of bed and walk into your baby’s room. With your eyes half shut, you pull them out of bed and drag yourself downstairs to feed them breakfast. Once they’re fed and happy, you make your way back upstairs to give them their morning bath. Now fed and dressed, it’s already time for a nap (yay!), which means you…

The Fisher-Price Rock N Play is an innovative sleeper with a hands-free rocking feature. This rocking sleeper has saved my life as a new mom on multiple occasions. The sleek design allows it to rock back and forth smoothly gently helping your baby drift into dreamland. It’s built at a slight incline, which has soothed my baby to sleep on the nights I’ve desperately needed rest. The baseline model Rock N Play comes with an assortment of different features, rather than just simply self-rocking.…

Happy 4th!!!🇺🇸 Fun fact: today is the 5 yea Happy 4th!!!🇺🇸

Fun fact: today is the 5 year anniversary of Darin and I getting engaged and we were lucky enough to spend it on the beach where it happened! 

It's been so fun here in Florida but we are ready to come home and see some mountains and ditch this humidity🤪
3 months ago I started my postpartum weight loss j 3 months ago I started my postpartum weight loss journey after my second baby. 

It hasn't been easy. There's definitely been highs and lows. 

BUT I'm so happy with the progress I'm seeing. I'm so glad I've taken these pictures each month so I can actually see the difference. 

There's two months between these pictures and I'm so thrilled to see that all of my hard work is paying off. 

Finding time to care for yourself as a mom is so hard but so important and I'm so grateful to my husband who helps me prioritize myself and my mental health. 

I never thought I would say this but I've honestly found solace in the gym. Working on my body and my health has helped me in so many ways other than my physical appearance. It's been my mental and emotional escape as well. 

Becoming a mom has taught me a lot about myself. I've discovered new things I never thought I would enjoy and I'm so happy with the progress I'm seeing, not only physically but in every way possible.

Those big brown eyes have my whole heart!! Harvey Those big brown eyes have my whole heart!! Harvey is 4 months old (yesterday). He's such a chill baby and brings a happy, calming vibe to the family. 

He's super close to rolling over and he giggles all the time. He loves his big sister, his play mat, and he loves to observe everything. He's still a champ when it comes to sleeping 🙏🏼🙌🏼 and he even got his first haircut this week. 

Happy 4 months my sweet boy! I love you more than you'll ever know💙.

I've been waiting for something like this to come into my life. Dinner has never been so easy and it's so delicious! 

Their menu is online and all you have to do is select what sounds good to you, pick your portion size and they do the rest. 

They have so many options to choose from and you can meal plan or bundle as well!

Once you choose your meals, they send you all of the meals frozen and when you're ready to make them, all you have to do is thaw the frozen food, put it in a crockpot, set it to low, and you're good to go! Plus they ship all over the U.S. 

I'm so happy I found them! I don't dread making dinner anymore. They have so many options to choose from and I haven't had a bad meal yet.

My handsome little guy is 3 months old! Harvey is My handsome little guy is 3 months old!

Harvey is still sleeping through the night 🥳 and he's become a lot more talkative and vocal, he giggles and smiles all the time, and he has surprisingly kept most of his hair so far! I'm hoping it just stays forever 🤞🏼.

I forgot how fast they grow at this age! I'm excited to see what this next month brings!
