My baby boy is two months old and I'm still trying to figure out where the time has gone. In the daze of middle of the night feedings and caring for two older children, my days have flown by. Shortly after my baby entered this world, he was hospitalized for an infection. While I can say I've had quite a bit experience of fevers and tummy aches from my older children, nothing prepared me for seeing my newborn in an isolet tied down to an ...

It’s Tummy Time With Oribel’s Peripops Blanket!
It feels like it was just yesterday our newest baby made his arrival into our family, but it's been 6 weeks already and he's changed so much. He's gone from a sleepy baby to a constantly alert and active infant. He loves looking around and his eyes fixate on new and contrasting colors and textures. It's so much fun to watch him grow, and since he's most likely my last baby, I'm trying to soak up every minute of it. So, at 6 weeks we've ...
Treating Gas and Colic in Newborns with @LittleRemedies #IC #ad #LittleRemedies
Despite having two older children, my youngest baby has thrown me for a few loops in the past few weeks. I've said it quite a few times- you think you have it all figured out by baby #3, but then one comes along that teaches you something new. From a few impromptu doctor visits to a more recent hospital stay for illness, my little man has added a few notches on my "mommy experience" belt. If there's one thing I've got a good handle on, it's how ...
Newborn Diapering Routines With #WaterWipes. #IC #AD @BabiesRUs
Babies are pure and for that reason, most hospitals recommend using only a damp cloth with water to clean baby's bottom during the first few weeks. After having my first baby, I learned this was a bigger challenge than it seemed. I had a c-section and the pain from recovery had me taking the easy way out and skipping over the recommendation of just pure water and I started using wipes immediately. It wasn't long before my baby's bottom was ...
Saving Every Drop Of Breast Milk With Milkies Milk Saver
As I'm gearing up to breastfeed another baby in a few weeks, I feel confident that I know the process my body will go through as it adjusts to making milk. I've had a decent supply with both my girls, and even purchase an additional freezer after my first baby to keep up with my work-supply of milk. The one thing that I've had to be mindful of each time was my explosive let down when my children would nurse. I wasn't coordinated with ...
The Magical Night Mobile from Tiny Love Grows with Baby!
With my third baby on the way, I know what I need, don't need, and features I expect from baby items. My favorite feature in anything baby related is the ability to grow with baby and advance to various stages of use as baby's development changes. Tiny Love has hit the nail on the head with their Magical Night Mobile. A mobile, in my book, is a baby must have. From her earliest days, my oldest daughter was soothed by soft classical music playing ...
We Trust The Chicco KeyFit30 To Bring Baby Home Safely
If there's one main concern you have as a parent, it's safety. From the moment you conceive, you worry about what you eat, every ache you feel, and the best ways to keep your baby safe after they arrive. With my first daughter I spent countless hours finding the right baby gear that would ensure her safety. With my second baby I spent hours making sure the same items I used with my first were still top rated in the safety department. And now, ...
Stylish Diaper Bags? Must Be From @TWELVElittle!
When it comes to the things I tote around with me, I waiver on minimalist and over-prepared mom. At the playground- I'm THAT mom that has a mini first aid kit if your kid falls and gets a booboo. I bring along extra snacks to share, and change of clothes for whatever the day may bring. But some days, you will catch me with a wristlet, only holding what I absolutely need for that moment- my phone, license, a credit card, and enough cash to buy an ...
