Sample Amazon Baby Registry

As a mom of three, I’ve tried and tested many baby products, and I’ve compiled a list of my favorite items. For a new mom, it is pretty great when you can get everything you need in one place. This is why I recommend registering at Amazon. There is no sample Amazon baby registry that would […]

A Healthy Baby is Not “ALL” That Matters

“All that matters is a healthy baby.” Can we PLEASE stop saying that?! Of course, when a woman is having a baby, a healthy baby is THE most important thing! But it is not the ONLY important thing. It is not “ALL” that matters! I am in no way diminishing the importance of the baby being […]

Modern Baby Furniture & Gear

When your first baby arrived you will be amazed by how much “stuff” you use! If you are going to fill your home with baby gear, you might as well get bouncers and toys that look nice. So much of the baby gear out there is clunky, bright and plastic. Here are some of my […]

Pregnancy Diaries: Second Trimester

It’s weird how with the third kid I don’t feel the urge for a huge pregnancy announcement like I did with the first one. 14 weeks pregnant – I ate vegetables and didn’t get sick! My food aversions are still there, but it is getting a bit better. 15 weeks pregnant – I want everyone […]

A Protective Love (Mother’s Day Thoughts)

Motherhood… I read this quote by Bunmi Laditan last year, and it really hit home: How To Be A Mom in 2017: Make sure your children’s academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional, and social needs are met while being careful not to overstimulate, understimulate, improperly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free, processed […]

Pregnancy Diaries: First Trimester

Over the course of the first trimester, I kept as many notes as I could in a pregnancy diary so I can look back and remember how I felt along the way. Poor third kid though, my notes are way less detailed than they were with my first pregnancy! The first trimester is such a […]
