Being a Mom Who Suffers From Migraines
A Little Background On My History With Migraines Every day is a struggle for me as someone who suffers from chronic migraines. I’ve been suffering from them ever since I was 15 years old and they only seem to be getting worse as I get older. Honestly, even sitting down to write this post was a struggle for me and I had to take my medicine just to great rid of a headache so I could get this done.

Helping You Pick A Table Booster Seat For Your Toddler
Today I’m comparing the Oxo Tot Nest Booster Seat vs. Ingenuity Smartclean Booster Seat! I’m going to break down the pros & cons I see with both of these booster seats, but overall I think they are both great options. The pros and cons are virtually the same for both of these seats, but with small differences. OXO TOT NEST BOOSTER SEAT Pros: + easy to clean seat: the gray part lifts up so you can clean underneath + long straps so it can attach to most chairs + soft, comfortable seat + handle for carrying + goes up higher on their back so gives a little more support +…

Brand Highlight: Why We Love Serenity Kids!
This is in no way a sponsored post, just sharing the brands we love with you! We have had Serenity Kids in our house since Mackenzie began solids. When we started I knew I wanted to do baby led weaning, but soon found out a mix of both purees & BLW was the right fit for our family. I found Serenity Kids via instagram & loved that there were no preservatives in their pouches & that they were shelf stable. That meant I could easily keep one or two pouches in my diaper bag if I needed food for Mackenzie while we were out. I said from the beginning I…

Making the Difficult Decision to Postpone our Vacation
We did not spend this past week anything like we had planned. We were excited to finally go on vacation somewhere warm and get a break from all this dreary weather at home on the East Coast. Unfortunately, thanks to Covid (more specifically the Omnicron variant) we decided to postpone our trip to Costa Rica. Unfortunately these are the times we are currently living in and we had to make some last minute changes to our plans because the Omnicron variant is so contagious and I was worried about traveling with an unvaccinated toddler (she’s only 18 months old). Had it not been for this latest spike and super contagious…
