I participated in Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Baby Mantra. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. During the summer months both of my children get dry skin from our local community pool. Then with the dry weather in the fall and winter I am still dealing with dry and sensitive skin. My daughter has worse dry skin and eczema issues than my son. But they both struggle with dry skin. I have … [Read more...]
10 Things You Should Do When Your Baby is Sleeping
I have two kids. Neither of them slept well on their own the first two years of their life. I made the choice to breastfeed them to sleep and they never could just fall asleep on their own. We co-slept as well so their sleep habits were started from day one. Here's what our equation looked like Mommy + Breastmilk = Sleep. Some days it was great. Most days it was difficult. But it went by pretty fast and I don't regret it. I'm crazy like that. You know how they say, "Moms nap when your baby … [Read more...]
Natural Baby Gift Ideas
This blog post is part of a paid SocialMoms and Burt’s Bees blogging program. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. When my Princess was born we wanted to use natural bath products on her skin. She was our first child and we tried to do everything by the book and be as natural as we could be. It was important to us. As she got older we noticed her skin was quite sensitive and so we continued to use natural products. Isn't it funny, how careful we are when it comes to children's … [Read more...]
When My Second Child Used Formula
This post brought to you by Sam’s Club. All opinions are 100% mine. I can clearly remember over six years ago when my Princess was born. We had her at a birth center in Northern California at about 8pm. My midwife told me I could head home once I went to the bathroom and my Princess breastfed. Easy peasy. I was heading home by 10:30 pm. It was awesome. But, when my Little Man was born, he had a difficult time latching on to feed. Did you have a difficult time breastfeeding your … [Read more...]

Babywearing: Boba Carrier 4G
We are a baby wearing family. We bring a few different carriers with us when we travel. As my Little Man is getting older (he is turning 17 months old tomorrow *gasp*), I am truly thankful for our Boba Carrier. I can wear him on my back and it has foot straps. I really love those foot straps. Plus, this carrier is comfortable - much more comfortable than many baby carriers we have owned in the past. This week, Boba just announced that it has upgraded its Carrier. You can now purchase the Boba … [Read more...]
Baby Must: Bumbo Floor Seat and Tray
We had a Bumbo floor seat with both of our children and absolutely loved it. When my Princess had hers we used to call it the "poop chair" because every single time she sat in it she would poop. I don't know how many times we had to disinfect that little baby chair. When we had baby #2, we got our Little Man his chair at our local baby consignment store. We loved it so much with our first, we knew we needed one for him too. This little chair has been a life saver in our home. It's not just … [Read more...]
