Why We Love OmaSense

Leave a comment

Newborn and restful sleep aren’t exactly synonymous. I mean, when (and if)  they sleep, they sleep “like a baby”, don’t get me wrong. As a parent, we are doomed to interrupted sleep for at least a month or two and sometimes years after. I knew this after having my first two kiddos, but what I didn’t realize was that the elusive newborn sleep time could also interrupt my day. I’ve partnered with Levana to share about Oma Sense, their baby movement monitoring system and how it’s helped to the way we do nap time around here.

2nd Trimester Must Haves

Leave a comment

Now that my second trimester has officially ended I thought it’d be fun to share my must haves with you all. I get tons of pregnancy related questions on Instagram because, lets face it, we all just want a little help to survive while we are busy growing a human. It’s not an easy task! This trimester was supposed to be the one where all of my energy came back and I felt amazing. You read all the promises about the second trimester being “smooth sailing” but that was not the case for me. Maybe it’s because it’s my 3rd time growing a baby in just 4 short years. I guess I was asking for it haha. Well I actually have just a handful of things to share because after the third time around I’ve realized the things that I actually need and the ones that are just added fluff.

We’ve Got You Covered

Us Moms are always busy looking for ways to take the best possible care of our families. We’re constantly planning healthy meals, making sure everyone is sharing, and not getting too much screen time. It can get exhausting. The last thing we want to worry about it diapers leaking. Am I right? That’s why I partnered with Comforts ™ to share all about their fabulously revamped diapers and wipes. There’s even a coupon code if you read all the way to the bottom. As you’ll see in the photos, Sully is perfectly content with these bad boys, now we are working on getting him to change them himself. I’ll let you know how that goes, fingers crossed!

Easy DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids

1 Comment

I am SO excited that it’s October!! To me, it’s the start of the holiday season. I honestly never felt this way before I had kids, but I basically find a way to celebrate everything now. Wait, you mean you didn’t give your kids a basket of Halloween themed goodies on October 1st? And yes, that includes all sorts of things for my 10-month-old. Duh, I know I’m crazy and that he (and probably not Elouise either) won’t remember his jack-o-lantern sippy cup when he’s in his 20’s but it sure made him happy today! Long story short, I go overboard for holidays now, it’s just who I am. For Halloween costumes this year I wanted to make it super fun since I have two tiny humans to dress. I am totally down for the family costume but my hubby doesn’t love them and the 31st is also his birthday so it’s only fair for me to let him off the hook. It was so fun for me to come up with ideas that I decided to put together a whole blog post. Now, these costumes aren’t the pre-made store bought ones (and there’s nothing wrong with those, the stores just don’t sell these ones) and they also aren’t the crazy DIY kind with sewing and paper mache. In fact, every one of these starts with clothes from one of my favorite brands, Primary. Solid colors, no logos, cozy, and totally going back into my kid’s dressers after Halloween. The rest of the details were all things I grabbed from around my house or super cheap do-dads, I’ll link as much as I can for you guys!

Sullivan’s Nursery Tour

Leave a comment

I am so incredibly beyond excited to share Sully’s room with you guys. I poured my heart into this project. Mostly because I don’t think I was emotionally ready to have him in his own room since Elouise slept in our walk-in closet at our old place until she was 22 months. There were a few things I knew I needed in his room and then I kind of let the rest fall into place. I have always loved the look of “intentional clutter” but lately I’ve really been drawn to minimalist decorating. It’s almost more of a challenge because you really have to make the things you pick out count. I worked really hard to pull every detail together down to coordinating the two different colors of wood even into the tiniest details. I’ll share a little bit of insight as to how I pulled everything together below. I’ve linked everything at the bottom of the post for you guys and some of the links I’m sharing are affiliate links, so if you chose to buy something through them you’ll be helping support my family, which I appreciate more than you know.
