I know you all made those resolutions: pig out all holiday, then wish it away on January 2! This is what I did, and January 2nd came and went and I still have some pounds to lose. It turns out, you can't wish yourself lighter, but you can take steps to cut calories and make small choices everyday that can help you meet your goals. One thing I won't budge on every morning (and afternoon) is my coffee. Not only does it energize me, but I love the ...

Cleaning Baby’s Clothes with #PurexBaby
I might be a little over domesticated when I say that my favorite scent is that of freshly cleaned laundry. You can see me sniffing each piece of clothing as I pull it out of the basket to fold it, and yes, I enjoy every minute of it! My husband didn't really understand why I loved this scent so much, until we got married and I did his laundry. He never knew what he was missing! Since then, I had to change my laundry detergent quite a few ...
Do You Travel Light?
Mama's got a brand new bag! And no, it isn't a diaper bag. But, I will admit that I use it as one. My hubby complains that I have too many bags, but I need them. All.of.them. Sometimes I need a big bag and sometimes I don't. A girl has to have options! My latest bag is the Baggallini Enchant and I'm so in love! I try to pack light when we go out because it is generally hard to juggle a baby, a toddler, and a bag of infant necessities. A backpack ...

Have You Heard of Menstrual Cups?
It's been about a year since I heard of menstrual cups and I'm still not sure if they are a way of the future, or a fad. I've read that they are very popular in European countries and are growing rapidly in popularity here. I've asked a few of my friends what they thought of menstrual cups and not one of them had even heard of such a thing. It was time for an intervention! I had to call all of my closest girlfriends over to introduce them to ...
JJ Cole Collections: Hat, Mittens, & Booties {Giveaway}
Brrr! It's really getting cold out there! When my first baby was born, she was still in her infant car seat during the winter months, so it was easy to keep her warm without bulky clothing in her car seat. I used the JJ Cole BundleMe in her car seat, which kept her warm, safely. With baby #2, I estimated that she would have still been in her infant car seat this winter, but due to discomfort from her fractured clavicle, we had to switch her to ...
Bright Starts Sunnyside Safari Saucer
My baby girl is quickly growing up and exploring her surroundings. She's crawling, standing, and even taking steps while holding on to things. She doesn't like to be contained in a playpen anymore, so it was time to find her an entertainment center that would keep her happy and busy. It was a no-brainer that we would choose a Bright Starts entertainment center. I think we had more issues trying to figure out which one we ...
