Being pregnant doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! When I was pregnant, I was very cautious about how much I spent on maternity clothes because I knew I would only wear them for a few months. I tried to pick out things that I can wear during and after pregnancy because I found maternity clothes to be very expensive.I wish I had known about Kiki's Fashions! They have a huge line of maternity clothing that is not only very modern and ...

Quick and Easy "Ice Cream Trick" recipe
I'm known to be a very picky eater in my family. That's why people are shocked that my daughter prefers broccoli over chips and spinach over cookies - go figure. I've tried to limit her junk food in order to promote healthier eating habits and it has worked so far. I still let her indulge here and there in the occasional sweet. I just started introducing her to ice cream and just like her mama, she is hooked! Yesterday she asked me for ice cream ...
In the market for Baby Bedding?
When I was designing my little girl's nursery, I never really thought about what SHE would like. I knew what I liked, and I knew what looked good, however it was not until her 1st birthday that I realized, if I knew her before I designed her room, it would have been totally different! I decided to go with neutral colors, but she has taken a liking to the color purple. There is nothing purple in her room - so it gives me an excuse to shop! Her ...
Mixbook Photobook Review
There are so many photobook shops online, it is difficult to pick one without getting overwhelmed with the pricing and the options. I have personally made many photobooks and love the convenience of not having to place 4 x 6 photos in an album - everything is directly on the page and you can decide how big or small you want the photo.I recently had the opportunity to try out Mixbook Photobooks and I am impressed. They are super ...
Crockpot Chili Bowls
Some days are super busy and a crockpot is mama's best friend! I don't like a lot of crockpot recipes so I stick to the handful that I know will turn out great. I like to make hearty chili bowls - even though today is suppose to be a nice spring day - it doesn't really go with the weather! Crockpot Chili Bowls 1 medium onion 1 pound ground beef 1 can black beans rinsed 1 small can diced tomatoes (I use fresh grape tomatoes) 1 ...
Ergo Baby Carrier Review
When I was pregnant with Little Luna, I knew that I wanted a baby carrier for here and there. I didn't want to spend a lot and ended up getting a cheap model because it seemed the easiest to put on. After using it a few times and looking at other moms in the neighborhood with more expensive models, I realized that theirs was not as bulky as mine and their babies seemed to site more comfortably in the carrier. I remember seeing an advertisement ...
Breaking the habit: Getting rid of the Binky!
I'm not too sure how I felt about giving my daughter a pacifier when she was born. One part of me thought that since sucking provides comfort for babies, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Another part of me felt that it's a habit - we will have to break it at some point and I didn't want her to be dependent on anything.I brought a few pacifiers to the hospital with me. I knew I was going to try to breastfeed and they might interfere with ...
What’s for dinner Friday?
I love Friday's because we usually have a house full of people. The menu is typically the same every Friday, because everyone has grown use to expecting Taco night and they all look forward to it. I've tried doing taco night with just me and hubby, but we both agree that it is just not the same without a group of people. I always have an assortment of spreads and everyone makes their own tacos. Here is what my spread consists of:1 bowl of chopped ...
