There are some baby items that you may not put much thought into, and then there are others that you research until you are on information overload! Infant toys may seem to be a no brainer, but did you know that newborns can't see too well? Once the fuzziness is gone and their eyes start working, they love to focus on three main colors: black, white, and red. after a few weeks, your infant can start to see more vibrant colors and may even respond ...

Bringing Home Baby: Belly Laughs with Fisher Price Giggle Gang (#GIVEAWAY!)
There is nothing sweeter than the sound of a baby discovering their giggles! From the moment a baby starts smiling, they are able to captivate a room full of people. Once they start laughing, people want to hear that sweet sound and will try anything to get their little ones to laugh. My baby girl is just under two months old, and she is already smiling for her mama and big sister. I don't want her to grow up too quick, but I can't wait to hear ...
Bringing Home Baby: Bath-time Essentials, Blooming Bath (#GIVEAWAY!)
Bathing a newborn is one of the scariest things about bringing baby home from the hospital. This fragile baby is so small and might as well have a sign that says "slippery when wet!" When I brought my first baby home from the hospital, I had to have my mom come and bathe her the first time. I wasn't sure what to do or how to hold her. I was afraid of her being cold, or worse, slipping out of my hands. As soon as my newborn's cord fell off, I ...
Bringing Home Baby Event: Bright Starts Sunnyside Safari Chair Top High Chair
I have learned the hard way that when you have children, their gear and toys really pile up. We were spoiled at first with my oldest baby- we had ONLY the basics and nothing more. She didn't even have any toys besides a few infant rattles and a play mat. Once she turned 1, this all changed. She received a ton of toys for her 1st birthday, and then even more that Christmas (which was only 3 months later.) We soon became inundated with toys and had ...
Nominate the Best Dad and Win a Diaper Bag Full of @Huggies Products!
I just have to get my hands on the new Huggies Hawaiian diapers! I saw a commercial for them last week and thought they were super cute, so now I'm just waiting for my local drugstore to carry them. I already see that Diapers.com and Walmart has them and I can't wait to try them on my infant. The Huggies Jean diapers came out when my older daughter was just under a year old and they were the cutest diapers under a dress! The Hawaiian diapers have ...
Choosing the Right Formula
I've been very fortunate that breastfeeding has gone very well this time around. With my first, I gave some formula in the hospital while I was recovering from a c-section. With my second I felt more prepared and so far there is no need to supplement. Regardless of how successful I have been with breastfeeding, I still have a container of formula on hand "just in case" even though I try to keep a good supply of breastmilk in the freezer. I know a ...
All New Huggies Wipes!
We have been a Huggies family from the time my first baby was a few weeks old, up until now. Although I cloth diaper half the time we always use Huggies wipes, and when she isn't in cloth, she is in Huggies Little Snugglers or Pure and Natural diapers. I love the feel and fit of the diapers because they are super soft and really do conform to the shape of my baby. The only time I have had any leaks with the diapers was when they were too small. ...
Things to be thankful for this Mother’s Day
This past Mother's Day was one of the best. Granted, I've only had 2 Mother's Days but this one was extra special. I had just given birth to my second daughter days before, and I had my mom, grandmother, and mother in law all here to celebrate with a Mother's Day dinner. It was nice having everyone together without the stress of running from one house to the other to make sure everyone gets their visit from the grandchildren. I felt very blessed ...
