Lincoln will be FIVE months old soon and I'm hoping that milestone will officially signify the end of the four month sleep regression. He was doing so well, sleeping one 7-8 hour stretch and then another several hours and now there are some nights he's waking 2-4 times. Thank God I can nurse this time around because usually a little "snack" will ...
Target’s Pillowfort Collection: Adorable, Whimsical Decor for Kids!
I was so excited when I saw previews of Target's Pillowfort collection a few weeks ago. The line features cute, fun, colorful and whimsical furniture, bedding, decor and accessories for kids rooms and playrooms. I already placed an order online since my store didn't have much of the collection. Major thanks to Target for finding yet another way to ...
Lincoln Grey: Four Months Old!
The fourth month of a baby's life is equal parts fun and frustrating. They're finally learning, discovering and developing more but it's also four weeks of the dreaded sleep regression, which is not a myth (even Harper who was a total unicorn baby went through it). At the same time, Lincoln is just such a smiley and sweet baby, how can I be ...
Our Weekend…
Oh hey! It's 9 p.m. as I write this and both kids are (finally) asleep. Harper doesn't do naps on weekends often anymore and then she passes out on the living room floor before bedtime and wakes up and hour or so later in a mood that any parent of a nearly "threenager" can probably imagine. Harper and I spent some mommy/daughter time together on ...
Peace of Mind for New Parents with Owlet
If ever there was a product I wish I would have had when Harper was born, it's this one. As first time parents, we did everything in our power to ensure a safe sleep environment (baby to sleep on back, nothing else in the crib, no blankets, no bumpers, etc) but there was that lingering fear that left me waking up to "check her breathing" in the ...
Our Weekend…[Valentine Edition]
Oh hey hey hey! Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! Let's get this week's wrap- up started! O N E I cannot wait for our new rug to come in. It's been on backorder and will ship this week. I'm still having major trouble with this space in terms of the overall "final look." It's such a tricky space with how open it is and how limited the ...
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Toddler Girls
I will admit that I'm totally one of "those moms" when it comes to holidays. I like to do the decor, themed gifts, crafts, the whole shebang. I had intended to make Valentines with Harper for her class but the 4 month sleep regression and teething have hit us hard...combined with us all being sick, work and everything in between, I caved and ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
If I could use one word to describe the past week, it's "tired." I caught a sinus infection (it's going around at work) and Kevin was out of town the entire week for a conference (thankfully my mother-in-law stayed with us to help out) and I was just barely making it through each day. We are going through a bit of the four month sleep regression ...
Gap 40% Off Sale Picks
We're halfway through the week and Gap & Old Navy are having some great sales right now so I picked up some cute items for the kids! A lot of these dresses are more spring-esque, but I pair them with leggings and sweaters when it's cooler out...and we still have days where temps are in the 70's here in Houston! Use code DENIM for 40% off if ...
Milk Protein Allergy in Babies: Dairy-Free Diet for Breastfeeding
Our sweet Lincoln was two weeks old when he was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy. I was surprised at the time, but looking back, I knew something was "off" just by how his skin looked. I was scrolling through my phone deleting old photos over the weekend and I came upon the ones I took of his skin in those early days and it just broke my ...
