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.

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 [...]

I received the Little Tikes Floor Seat in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own. My cousin just had a baby shower last weekend.  They are expecting their first baby and are so excited.  If you have kids, you can probably think back and remember that same excitement.  Our first child is already 13 years old, yet I still remember how thrilled we were.  My entire pregnancy was filled with firsts and we couldn't wait to meet her.  Then as we made it into the 3rd trimester, the preparing Read more [...]
