Staged Nutrition from Enfamil

As an exclusively-breastfeeding mother I’m not very familiar with formula brands. However, I support mothers no matter how they choose to nourish their children (we’ve got to stick together ladies!) and know that Enfamil is a trusted brand among formula moms. What I didn’t know is that Enfamil also provides a Staged Nutrition Line designed [...]

Newborn and Postpartum Essentials

Of course a car seat and diapers are “must-haves” but since I’m currently in the postpartum period I thought I’d share a few of those little extras that have been particularly helpful for us during the past few weeks. For Baby: Zipper sleepers – Carter’s is my favorite brand of comfy play/sleep clothes for both [...]

Our Bedtime Routine #SleepytimeSongs

Hubs and I are both routine-oriented people so it makes sense that our kids would prefer a schedule as opposed to free-styling each day. Gus is too young right now, but Sweet T has been on a sleep schedule since she was 5 months old. At 7:45 each night we start our bedtime routine which [...]

Did you know that only 15% of school age children are drinking the daily recommended amount of water? As parents it’s our job to instill healthy habits in our children from an early age, but it’s not always easy. Sweet T is a picky eater but one thing she’s always been good about is drinking [...]

A Little Pregnancy Humor

I’m not sure Mystery Baby is ever going to get here. Granted my due date isn’t until Friday but Since Sweet T arrived a whole week early I kind of had my hopes up for #2 following the same pattern or arriving even earlier.

Mystery Baby will be here soon!
