Six months was a big transition time for Wyatt - I weaned him off of nursing, introduced formula for the first time, and started to introduce solid (aka pureed) foods. I found the transition to solids to be surprisingly difficult for us at the time - but in retrospect, I was definitely overthinking it (sound familiar?). Here I'll share a recap of everything I learned, and of course, the best products for feeding to help ease the transition. Note: I have a separate blog post here on how we ... View the Post
Daily Facial Massage for Stress Relief
I'll be the first to admit that managing two babies under 18 months has created a lot of stress and anxiety in our household as of late. This week I'm sharing a couple new ways I have been trying to manage stress and focus on self-care, in case they are helpful to you (not just for new parents!). Of course, these recommendations are accompanied by several new products I'm obsessing over and recommend you check out, too - most are also available through Sephora's Beauty Insider Holiday Sale (20% ...

My Introduction to Essential Oils & Aromatherapy
If you think essential oils and aromatherapy are a bunch of hocus pocus, trust me, I hear you. I was in the same camp just a few months ago, until I started to take note of the fact that a lot of the other bloggers I love and follow (@purejoyhome, @lizadams) are huge advocates of essential oils and have integrated them into their daily lives. When Liz from Sequins & Stripes did a post on how aromatherapy helped with developing good sleeping habits with her first baby (post here), I decided I ... View the Post
Week One with Baby Luke
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!" (a friend recently reported that their friends delivered baby #2 in an Uber in midtown Manhattan while stuck in rush hour traffic - omg!), so packing my bag for the hospital is one of the first things I am checking off my list this week. I went back and referenced all the emails I sent to friends following Wyatt's delivery ... View the Post
