I didn't know much about HALO SleepSack's until I was in Babies R Us shopping for my new arrival. I purchased a Santa SleepSack that was on clearance, only because it was the right size for my baby and I thought it seemed like a good idea after reading the package. Fast forward 2 years later and I am still a Halo SleepSack fan. On a cold night, which do you choose? Keeping your baby warm or keeping them uncovered to minimize the ...

Cleanup in Aisle 9!
Warning: This post may make you sick to your stomach. My little girl has always seemed to have belly issues. It started when she was born and I had to modify my diet because her tummy couldn't handle certain foods (she was breastfed.) She wouldn't just "spit up" but rather her stomach seemed to explode if it wasn't happy. I'll never forget the day I left her in her crib for a few minutes while I went to put in the laundry. She was alone for ...
What’s your take on Krill Oil and Omega 3s?
I have been curious about Omega 3s and Everest NutritionKrill Oil ever since a friend of mine told me that once she started her daily regimen of Omega 3s, she has felt healthier. The first time I heard about Omega 3s was when I was pregnant with my daughter and they were included in my prenatals. I knew that for my growing baby, it could have helped in her eye and brain development, but I never really thought of what that meant for me. Now that ...
Great First Foods for Babies!
Although the trends are starting to change, pediatricians are still recommending babies start off with oatmeal cereal or rice cereal. I wanted to hold off on solid foods for as long as possible since I was breastfeeding, but my little girl was growing increasingly hungry and demanding more milk. Our pediatrician told us to try her on some cereal once a day to see if it would help. I waited a month after his suggestion to actually go ahead and ...
Baby Shower Event: Diono Radian RXT Car Seat Review & #Giveaway!
When it comes to my baby, safety is not something I will compromise on. Before I purchased any baby gear for my little girl, I read reviews and checked out safety ratings. It took me months to weed through all the items and find what I thought was the best for my little girl. I wanted a car seat that would last us from rear facing to front facing, and although I had her in an infant car seat, I wanted the option to place her in a regular car ...
Baby Shower Event: Mamaroo Review and #Giveaway!
When I brought my little girl home from the hospital, I really thought taking care of her would be a breeze. I have been around children all my life and felt comfortable holding, feeding, and changing her. Until she started crying and wouldn't stop. I did everything I knew how to do - why is she STILL crying? She was breastfed, so my husband's reaction was to stick a bottle in her mouth because "maybe she wasn't getting enough ...
Potty Training? Let’s Party! Enter to win 1 of 5 guaranteed Pull Ups Party Host Spots! #Giveaway
My little girl has made huge strides in potty training this weekend! I am so proud of my little girl! After refusing to potty train for almost a year, I explained to her that we have no more diapers and if she can just do peepee in the potty until we get more. For a two year old, she is very understanding and happily agreed - shocker! So we have been diaper free for two days and only had two accidents on the first day and none on the ...
Baby Shower Event – My Brest Friend Full Body Pillow (#Giveaway)
Along with the joys of being pregnant come the slew of body aches and pains that can keep you up all night. From the very beginning, I had horrible back pains when I was pregnant with my daughter, and I tried just about everything. I couldn't get comfortable in bed. I tried multiple pillows and rolled up towels, but nothing stayed put all night, nor were they comfortable. I dealt with the discomfort, knowing it would be over in a few months, but ...
