Baby Sleep Stuff
Blankets, Swaddles & Sleep Sacks Blankets – Your blankets will get poop, pee and spit up on them, so you’ll like having a lot. I’m a huge fan of the lightweight muslin baby blankets. They are breathable, slightly stretchy and have multiple uses: swaddling, tummy time, nursing cover, blankets, etc. You will use these for many years. […]
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
My biggest dietary vice is sugar. Well, alcohol, and then sugar. Since I have such frequent cravings, it’s important that I satisfy as much of that sweet craving as possible with natural sugars. I try and get a lot of my sweet fix from the natural sweetness of fruit and honey. This recipe was adapted […]
Black Bean Flourless Muffins
I used to pride myself on the fact that my daughter ate so healthy. She loved salmon, kale, quinoa, black beans and broccoli. My husband and I patted ourselves on the back because we did a great job raising a toddler who wasn’t picky like so many others. Then she turned 2½. She suddenly decided […]
Unique Baby Gifts
For a baby shower gift, I like to get something off the baby registry. But once the baby arrives, I like to bring food and a more unique or personalized gift for the baby. Here are some of my favorite gifts that people sent us: Personalized Wooden State Rattle Jellycat Bunny with Name Embroidered Puzzle Name Stool […]
Breastfeeding: Lessons Learned
We hear a lot about how wonderful breastfeeding is, the health benefits, and the bonding. We imagine (well, at least I imagined), this easy and smooth experience. I pictured my baby naturally latching onto my breast and continuing to do so for about a year. But most people face some struggles in the early days: […]
Traveling with Baby
Preparing to travel with an infant or toddler for the first time can be intimidating. Hopefully, these tips can help you. In the first 15 months of my daughter’s life, she flew on over twenty separate flights. The first six months are usually the easiest time to fly with your baby. Take advantage! When traveling […]

Obviously you need things like: 1. Infant car seat 2. Place for baby to sleep 3. Diapers and wipes 4. Stroller 5. Clothes — But in addition to those given must-haves, here are a few not so obvious things that I think are essential as well:
Baby Items You Can Do Without… at least for now
Registering for your first baby can be so much fun! As someone who is pretty obsessed with baby products, I understand the joy that comes from having all the cool baby gadgets. But soon after the baby arrives, your house fills up with stuff and there are endless piles of dishes and laundry and clutter. […]
Lactation Cookies
Lactation cookies are a delicious way for a breastfeeding mom to boost her milk production. As any new breastfeeding mom can attest to, you are pretty much starving all of the time. It’s great to have an easy-to-eat snack, that helps your breastmilk supply, and has the label “lactation cookies” so your family knows they […]
Fun (& easy) Party Touches
In my head, I come up with fantastic ideas to make a party perfect. I search on Pinterest, make special boards and plan it all out. Then, I begin actually putting it together and either time, money or ability prevents my party from resembling those I see online. I’m not a good enough party planner to […]
Homemade Vanilla Extract
I use a lot of vanilla extract in my baking, so I figured I might as well start making my own. It saves money and it’s very easy. Homemade vanilla extract in a nice looking jar also makes a really cute gift (holiday, hostess, etc.). Buying vanilla beans at the grocery store can be very […]
