Chances are you know this feeling well. For me, it usually sneaks into my brain those first calm moments at the end of the day when I'm lying in bed. There's blissful silence, I'm finally not being needed or constantly touched by someone and I can think clearly about all the ups and downs of [...]
I've been on the search for new fragrance for awhile now so when I was offered an opportunity to collaborate with the Fragrance Outlet, I jumped at the chance. I'm so glad that I did! The thought of packing the kids up to go fragrance shopping was definitely not something I felt like doing so [...]
A few weeks ago, Brielle started rolling over in her sleep and being that she was still being swaddled, it terrified me that she would find herself stuck face down. Immediately we stopped swaddling her and our restful nights ceased as well. Our once restful sleeper who was waking only once/twice a night to nurse [...]
Babywearing, oh how I love thee. I don't know how I would get through most days if it wasn't for the convenience of babywearing. I loved it with my first child, but fell even more deeply into love with all things babywearing with the birth of our second kid. With a crazy, rambunctious toddler to [...]

With Aiden, I suffered from oversupply, a super slow, nursing obsessed baby and latch issues. With Brielle, she's a quick and efficient nurser [...]
We've been spending so much time outside this summer and I'm always struggling to keep everyone as sun safe as possible, especially my baby girl. Since Brielle is so young (only 5 months), I have been trying to avoid using sunscreen since she's constantly touching her face and eyes and I'd rather wait to expose [...]
One of the most frustrating and tiring things as a mom to young kiddos is when they get sick or are dealing with allergy issues. Usually that means less sleep, cranky kids, tears and lots of frustration for everyone. For us, the dreaded stuffy nose is the worst, especially for the baby of the house. [...]
Hey all! I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July and are recovering from the holiday weekend hangover. I feel like it always takes a day (or three) to recover after a busy, long weekend. The last few weekends have been crazy for us and I'm feeling a bit behind so I'm hoping [...]
