    My Favorite Baby Clothing Brands

    March 29, 2021 /

    There are SO many baby clothing brands out there, it’s kind of hard to know which ones are truly the best! I love Carter’s for good every day outfits or holidays, but I find their sizing to sometimes be so OFF! Also, almost everything is 100% cotton so your little one may grow out of it very quickly because there’s little to no stretch in the fabric. I’ve discovered some brands that should hopefully last you a long time 🙂 In terms of sizing, I can’t be the only person who still has trouble figuring out sizing with all the different brands! Sometimes I order something in her current size…

    How to Begin Solids From A First Time Mama

    March 2, 2021 /

    Starting solids has been on my mind since M was about 4 months old! She started sitting up with minimal support and would sit in her highchair while we ate meals and seemed interested! There is so much information out there regarding how to start solids, when to start solids, purees vs solids, and so much more that it can be overwhelming. I’m here to break it down for you! (Some of these items below will be great to have on your baby registry for those of you pregnant mamas!) Most Useful Items so Far Oxo Tot Straw Cup This was the first straw cup we tried and M was…

    Awesome Children’s Book Subscription Service

    February 22, 2021 /

    As a former preschool special education teacher, you can imagine I have read many children’s books. I absolutely love the classics like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, but what I love even more than the classics is discovering new books I have never heard of before! That’s where Split Rock Books and their book subscription services comes in. They are a small business in Cold Spring, New York and can ship you any books they carry. My sister-in-law gifted M a picture book subscription for the holidays and I loved the idea so much, we purchased a board book subscription as well! Split Rock Books subscriptions get…

Becoming a mom during a pandemic was scary to say the least. The pregnancy I had in my head was not the pregnancy I experienced. All baby classes were virtual which made it difficult to have a true baby class experience and sadly I was forced to attend many doctor appointments alone. At this point you’re probably thinking, wow this is depressing…
