What do you do when you’re the first of your friend group to have a baby? Our friends in Chicago are all at different points in their lives.
These are my favorite summer clothes for Remy so far. With links to buy…Happy shopping!
Feeding your baby can be everything from simple (nursing) to complex (baby-led weaning). And once you have a process nailed down, the baby goes and grows up and you have to change it all again!…
With Remy’s 1st Birthday coming up (HOW?), I figured it was time for another post on age appropriate toys. If your baby is a bit younger, check out my 3-6 month toys post or my 0-3 month toys post…
When baby gets sick, there really isn’t anything you won’t do to make them feel better. And with our little one in daycare, he’s had a number of sick days already. So I feel somewhat qualified…
When it comes to keeping the baby warm, I really prioritized function since we are outside a LOT (stroller-ing from home to daycare, daycare to home, home to dinner, and on and on). I needed things that work..
Goodbye spit up on my shirt that I’ve been wearing since this morning. Goodbye pulling out every toy to keep you entertained all afternoon (and almost pulling out my hair)…
Before the baby came, I wanted a list of what the heck to pack in the diaper bag! So here are the items I ALWAYS keep in my diaper bag now, almost 4 months in…
When I was pregnant, people would ask me what I was most nervous about. And without missing a beat, I would say losing my independence. It was my number one fear. Not how the labor and delivery would go…
We flew with our little one at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and again at 14 weeks old. Are we crazy? Maybe. But we all survived and actually had some fun! Plus we got out of the house and saw family…
When Remy was just 8 weeks old we took him on his first beach trip! We were headed to Puerto Rico - Dorado Beach, specifically - and I was both relieved and nervous. Relieved because I HAD to get out of the house…
I cannot believe Baby Bott is almost 3 months old! It truly has flown by. But I have to say, of all the unknowns there are with a newborn (will he sleep well? is he eating enough? am I doing this…
Ok, we all know that getting a good nights sleep is one of the most - if not THE most -important things for new parents and for baby. We tried a few different tactics during Baby Bott’s first few weeks and we finally found…
When we found out we were pregnant, it didn’t take long to decide we were going to keep the gender a surprise. As my husband put it - what other big surprises do you get like that in life? Not many…
So here I am, exactly one month after having our baby boy, and a LOT has changed. Some things were expected like sleepless nights, baby gear strewn around the house, and living in sweatpants. But some…
As I was thinking about what I might like for my first Mother’s Day - and what I want to give to my own mom - I decided to put together a little gift guide for those of us who are fresh out of ideas…
What you REALLY need for those first few weeks at home with a newborn - with links to shop. I’ve broken it down into Sleeping, Feeding, Diapering, Bathing, Getting Dressed, and Other Items. Whether you’re…
When we found out we were pregnant, one of the first things we discussed was our plan to continue traveling, even once the baby comes! I am so happy we are both on the same page about this because traveling…
When we found out we were expecting, I will admit, I didn’t want there to be a huge fuss over the pregnancy. The baby - sure - let’s get pumped! But the idea of being pregnant didn’t exactly seem appealing to me…
Thanks to everyone’s suggestions, I finally got my hospital bag packed! Here is what I am bringing, along with some links to some things I didn’t have on hand and had to purchase…
