Cosabella Amore Sleepshirt Baby Luke arrived safe and sound last Thursday evening - and in a hurry!!! For my second time moms: run, do not walk to the hospital. After my water broke, I wasted precious time at home wondering if I was having contractions before heading to the hospital -- which nearly cost me an epidural! All's well that ends well though, and we are thrilled to have Baby Luke at home with us (Wyatt not so sure yet...). I wanted to share a quick recap of our first week ... View the Post
My Mac & Mia Kids’ Subscription Box Review
While there is certainly no shortage of adorable clothing for baby boys, I must admit that I often struggle to get Wyatt dressed in the morning. He always seems to be graduating to the next size before I've had a chance to shop for it, leaving me with a pairing of too-long pants and a too-short top. So when I stumbled across Mac & Mia's kid's clothing subscription box through (yet another...) well-targeted Instagram placement, I thought I ought to give it a try. Here is my review of our ...

My Hospital Bag Checklist for Mom & Baby
I am in disbelief (denial?) that my due date is now less than 4 weeks away! All of the second time moms I know have reminded me "baby number two comes quickly, be prepared!"

I went back and referenced all the emails I sent to friends following Wyatt's delivery ... View the Post
My Guide to Transitioning to Formula
The Honest Company Formula Dispenser / Baby's Only Formula / Klaire Labs Infant Probiotic / Comotomo Bottle Six months was a big transition time for Wyatt - I weaned him off of nursing, introduced formula for the first time, and introduced solid (pureed) foods. I know this is a challenging period for a lot of new moms, so I wanted to share what worked well for us in the transition. I knew I wanted to stop breast-feeding by 6 months, as Tom and I were planning a trip to India at 7 months where ... View the Post
organizing the nursery
Keekaroo Peanut Changer / Wicker Basket / Chevron Storage Bin / Wipe WarmerIf you read my Nursery post, you know that decorating Wyatt's room was a true labor of love. While the decorative piece was fun, the organizational system is definitely what continues to put a smile on my face every day! Here are a few of my favorites that I recommend to any mom looking to bring a little order to the chaos.Dresser - This extra-wide dresser was repurposed from our old bedroom, and I definitely feel lucky ...

newborn checklist: my complete list
Age Blocks / Honest Diapers / Pottery Barn Rocker / Inke Wallpaper As I've told you all before, I was utterly clueless about babies and their needs prior to Wyatt's arrival. I'm someone who likes to prepare wayyy in advance for just about everything - when it came to motherhood, I was at a complete loss as to what I actually needed to do to prepare. One of the main reasons I started this blog was to provide some guidance to new moms like myself - in the hopes of making the transition a bit ... View the Post
