We are taking several trips over the summer that will require us bringing two car seats through the airport. There is NOTHING pleasant about bringing car seats through the airport. If an effort to make it easier, and keep our travel car seats cleaner, we decided to get a car seat bag. There actually aren’t ...
I swear I am surrounded by a sea of plastic. In an effort to expand our toys to include non-plastic and natural items I started researching natural toy companies. I found a bunch of ridiculously expensive toy companies offering toys that seemed less than enriching, which was frustrating. I found two companies that seemed to ...
I have been looking for inexpensive nursing clothes for the last few months of my pregnancy. I wanted something that would be comfortable, good for nursing, and flexible in size as I shrink to my pre-pregnancy weight. There are a ton of options out there, and so many are hugely expensive. As someone ...
It is time to prep for breastfeeding and pumping! This time around I really wanted to try a hands free pump bra that actually worked, since last time I tried the Medela and it never seemed to hold steady or get enough milk out. As my body changed it became ill-fitting. I heard about ...

As the days of this pregnancy come to a close, I have been really set on doing some of the things we didn’t know to do with #1 for #2. For one, I want a birth photographer. I know, it is a bit weird to have someone else in there taking pictures when my junk ...
In the months leading up to #2’s arrival I have been gathering the items that I found so useful last time with our newborn. One of the things I didn’t use with my daughter, but I’m hoping to use with #2 is a car seat cover. My daughter hated bucket seats, but I’m sure how ...
My daughter hates having water poured over her head. This has made bath time tough for a few weeks, because she got to the point where bringing her toward the bathroom made her cry. I researched a bit and found the Lil’ Rinser. The idea is that it is like a crown with a ...
Oh man the 3rd trimester is tough on the belly. I feel and look like a balloon, but not nearly as light. Chasing after a toddler is no small feat in this size and shape, so I started researching maternity belts. There are so many options on Amazon and they all seem to do the ...
