A few weeks ago I told you all about how one of our writers, Zoe, was getting ready for baby #2. Well, her baby is here and her big sister is super excited!

On the go Breakfast with Entenmann’s Little Bites
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Entenmann's. All opinions are my own Thankfully our busy mornings on the go are coming to a pause for summer. Our grab and go breakfasts happen more often than I care to admit, and our sit-down homemade breakfasts happen only on the weekends.

Peace of Mind with VTech
Product provided for review and inclusion. All opinions are my own. From baby #1 to baby #3, a lot changes - you become more confident, and although all kids are different despite having similar DNA, you have a general idea of what to expect in the early days of bringing home baby. You also have an idea of what you must have for baby and what you really don't need. One of my top baby must haves is and has always been a good baby monitor. After ...
Life After Baby – What they DON’T Tell You
This post is sponsored by ® & SheKnows Media. Despite people giving you unsolicited advice during and after your pregnancy, there's so many important topics that are left out. For example- no one told me that I would need my maternity jeans for months after giving birth because my hips widened so much, and it would take time for them to go back. They also didn't tell me that regardless of whether your baby has a great latch or ...
