Thank you to Storkcraft Direct for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. When I had my first baby seven years ago, I was so excited to decorate the baby room. We lived in an apartment at the time so decor was quite limited. I wasn’t allowed to paint or hang shelves. We lived in a two bedroom apartment with my mom at the time so the idea of a whole room dedicated to baby furniture, accessories and decor wasn’t really an option either. I was gifted my crib Read more [...]

I received product from Liz and Roo to facilitate this post.   As usual, all opinions are my own. With the change of seasons, spring cleaning and freshening up your home will soon be in full swing.  We've already started here.  Although the kids weren't too excited when I first brought up the subject.  I was able to peak their interest and get them excited about the prospect of helping as I told them that part of our Spring Cleaning Adventure would include new bedding for everyone! Spring Read more [...]

Thank you to Hooray Heroes for sending me these adorable books. As always, all opinions are my own. I don't know about you, but Father's Day tends to be one of the toughest holidays to shop for in my family. My husband always says "I don't need anything" which is not helpful at all! We've bought so many gifts for each other over the years but now we often buy ourselves things that we want, so that doesn't leave much for the holidays. Plus, my love language is gift giving so I really enjoy finding Read more [...]

It has been a while since an update with me and my little family! Little Link is doing amazing, almost a year old now believe it or not. He is standing and walking with furniture support. He is eating or rather I should say trying lots of foods. We practice baby led weaning which entails waiting for baby to truly be ready for real whole foods like steamed broccoli, carrots and more. I love following this method as I never have to mess with puree's or baby food in general. Our little one just eats Read more [...]

Thank you to Sister Chic for providing product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. It's baby fever around here. It seems like almost ALL of my friends and family members that are near my age are either currently pregnant or have had a baby within the last year. With lots of babies comes lots of baby showers and baby gifts. A fun 'problem' to have! I love to gift items that are both cute and practical, and Sister Chic has some useful baby gifts that fit that bill perfectly. First Read more [...]

Thank you to Keekaroo for sending me these awesome chairs! As always, all opinions are my own. We're at a transitional time when it comes to meals with our young kids. They're not little enough for high chairs anymore (or at least not to sit comfortably in them) but regular chairs are just too big. They are constantly pushing away from the table, trying to sit up on their knees to get a better position, and spilling food EVERYWHERE. Plus, our table would seat six but only came with four chairs. Read more [...]

Thank you to Maxi-Cosi for sending me a Lara Stroller to review. As always, all opinions are my own. If you've been keeping up with my posts, you've probably read that we're headed to the west coast later this spring and I couldn't be more excited! Mostly I'm excited because this has been a never-ending winter (with record snowfall for Minnesota in February!) and I've got the travel bug BAD. Our kids are going to be six and three when we travel this time. We're planning to do a few days in Seattle, Read more [...]

Thank you to TushBaby for sending me a sample for this review. As always, all opinions are my own. If you have an infant or toddler in your life I'm sure you'll love this new product from TushBaby! Featured on Shark Tank, this innovative hip carrier can help save your back if you've got a little one. I'm always carrying our son around on my hip, and just recently I started to realize how much it's probably affecting my spine. When I heard about TushBaby, I knew it would be the perfect option for Read more [...]

Thank you to Sleeping Baby for sending a Zipadee-Zip for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  I talk about sleep on the blog a lot. It's so important that my family and I all get a good night's sleep. As I've discussed before, my daughter isn't a great sleeper. She's three now and doing much better than she ever has, but there are still many nights that she wakes up in the night at least once. A goal I had for our son was to be a better sleeper than his sister. In the beginning there Read more [...]

Thank you to Tiny love for sending a Magical Tales Black & White Gymini for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My little boy just turned 4 months old. I have no idea where the time has gone. He is 16 pounds now. He has found his hands, he is starting to grab toys, and loves to kick his legs. I am excited to partner with Tiny Love to check out their new Magical Tales Black & White Gymini with my little guy. Baby gear seems to be getting more and more stylish - using trendy Read more [...]
