I received product from Zubels to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Our family LOVE Zubels toys.  I've been a fan of theirs for years.  And if you've been following the blog, you may even remember my most recent post about them.  Our youngest daughter is so in love with her Zubels unicorn!  You can head over to read my whole review to learn more.  But is it not just THE cutest thing you've ever seen!?  No wonder she's such a fan. What Zubels Stands For Just in case Read more [...]

Thank you to Precious Moments for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  Our little boy will be arriving via scheduled c-section in less than one month (or sooner if he so chooses). We are having so much fun getting ready for his arrival! Our daughter loves to talk about her baby brother and she has just started asking me "Is he out yet?" A few weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to partner with Precious Moments to showcase some of their Baby Gift Sets. These gift sets will Read more [...]

I have less than six weeks to go until my scheduled c-section and the arrival of our second baby. Add on the fact that this baby is measuring two weeks bigger than he's supposed to be... it makes me a little anxious to get things lined up for his arrival and our bags packed for the hospital. When I was expecting our first baby I searched online for what to pack in my hospital bag and found tons of differing opinions about what you should pack. Now, for baby number two, I feel like I have a Read more [...]

I received product from Zubels Petit Ami to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. My cousin is expecting her very first child soon and she was thrilled to learn it was a girl.  It's the first grandchild on both sides of the family for her and her husband so everyone is especially excited.  As we were talking one day, we started discussing toys.  I am a huge advocate for toys with a purpose.  Classic toys that are destined to become heirlooms, passed down to other children in the family.  Read more [...]

Thank you to SoapSox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   It's no secret, my daughter is a huge SoapSox fan! Since we got to review her first SoapSox character Ava the Dolphin about a year ago, she hasn't taken a bath without her. Last winter we added Nemo to our bathtime pals and now the newest additions to our SoapSox menagerie are Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Mickey was meant to be for her little brother this fall, but she's having a great time with Mickey while Read more [...]

Thank you to Audrey's Bear and Easy Baby Travelers for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   I am always on the lookout for fun and unique baby gift ideas. I give gifts for baby showers as well as each new baby that enters the family or my group of close friends. It gets to be a lot of baby gifts each year! Now that I am pregnant too, I have been doing a lot of research on baby items. I have been getting rid of a ton of things that I had from our daughter and working Read more [...]

Thank you to Mermaid Maternity for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Although this is my second pregnancy, I have never owned 'maternity' swim wear. For my first pregnancy I got by with what I had and borrowing a few tankinis from my mother-in-law who was larger than I was. This summer, I found Mermaid Maternity and I am so happy that I did! Mermaid Maternity specializes in swim wear for pregnant moms. My cousin has a swim suit from them and she said it is still Read more [...]

I've always loved babies.  If we went anywhere and there was a baby, you knew exactly where to find me! While I wouldn't consider myself an expert, I do have plenty experience in the baby department.  I actually started babysitting when I was about 10. Then, by the time I was 13, I had a family I was regularly babysitting several times a month.  That same family, when they had their second baby that year, started having me babysit full weekends.  I didn't mind as they'd drop the two girls Read more [...]

Thank you to HoMedics for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I don't think I've ever appreciated sleep as much as I do now that I'm a mom. I am a light sleeper and my two-year-old daughter still doesn't sleep soundly through the night. In about 15 weeks, I know that my sleep will be interrupted even more as we welcome baby number two. I'm hoping that baby number two will sleep more like his dad (like a log) and less like his big sister and I. I am always on the Read more [...]
