*I was sent HALO products in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. When I look back at some of my baby pictures I'm sometimes shocked by how much things have changed. Seeing the contraptions that were my car seat and baby walker is pretty crazy. I wore a "baby ring" on one of my fingers, my mom now wears it on a necklace and I can't believe how tiny it was. I doubt that any jewelry manufacturers even make rings that small now, I certainly can't see anyone putting them on a baby because Read more [...]

  Thank you to TinySoles for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for an honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Unfortunately, Summer is now over and we are already experiencing cool days and even cooler nights.  While I do enjoy being able to have our windows open and a cool breeze flow through our home, I'm sad to pack away the Summer clothes and flip flops.  But it seems like the time has come to do so and TinySoles has some great new Fall Footwear to Read more [...]

  Thank you to Princess Bowtique for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own.

I was provided with samples from Le Top in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. In my experience, one of the (few) downsides of having a large family is double-gift buying. I can't count how many times I've went to a birthday party, baby shower or wedding for someone in my family and the recipient got duplicates of a gift. I love finding unique gift items online partially because I like finding unique stuff anyway, but also because it lowers the chances that the recipient will Read more [...]

I received product from LectroFan Jr. for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. The saying “sleep like a baby” is often used to describe someone in a deep sleep. What happens though if baby has a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep? Not all babies, “sleep like a baby.” Sometimes little ones need help drifting off to sleep. One item many parents are turning to for help, are sound machines. I was recently given the opportunity to try a LectroFan Jr. sound machine. LectroFan Read more [...]

*SwaddleDesigns provided me with a flannel swaddle blanket in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. I feel like my sister's pregnancy has went by so quickly. We are about 10 weeks away from my nephew Royce's arrival, and my sisters two other children were born in the spring and summer, so I know she will be needing some warm items for this new little guy. I've mentioned before how much Kelsie loves SwaddleDesigns' cottom muslin swaddle blankets (pictured above), and how they Read more [...]
