Beech-Nut® Naturals
Attention Mamas! We are now approaching the baby food stage… [#ad] When I had my son Porter, I was so excited, nervous, and overwhelmed with starting foods. There is so much out there, but I knew I wanted to give him a brand of purees I could trust. Beech-Nut® Naturals quickly became our favorite because they make their purees with natural fruits and veggies. Porter really enjoyed these purees, and some of his favorites were the sweet potatoes, bananas, and mangos. I continued to use this brand throughout his different stages of foods, and toddler snacks because he not only loves the taste but I know he is getting quality…

Before I had kids, I would dream of the day I could wear mommy & me outfits with my mini me. I knew when I had my daughter I would go nuts buying all the matching outfits I could find. YaffiFashion has the most adorable matching mommy & me dresses. I couldn’t resist when I saw the matching headbands! This blue floral dress with a matching onesie for her was perfect for summer.

YaffiFashion offers matching family swimwear, and with Porter starting…

FITCRUNCH Protein Packed Snack Review
I am a mom of two under two, and I am always looking for something quick to snack on that is packed full of protein and good quality ingredients. I am constantly on the go, and need something delicious to hold me over that won’t slow me down. Being a mom who is just shy of 4 months postpartum and trying to get back into shape, this snack is the perfect go to. I am also from Wisconsin, so I am all about the cheesy delicious flavor. I will say, the one downfall to this snack is the flavor. But, overall I give it two thumbs up! FITCRUNCH is a…

Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread Review
Who doesn’t love chocolate? I recently tried this almond spread with milk chocolate and unlike any other chocolate spread I’ve tried. Not only is this spread certified gluten-Free, Non-GMO Verified, and certified organic, it is also a part of the brand’s Honest In Trade program. Once Again Nut Butter is a family owned business since 1976 out of upstate New York. I love buying and trying anything that comes from a local family owned business. This dessert nut butter is definitely my new favorite when is comes to making yummy treats here at home. Last weekend we decided made chocolate filled crescent rolls with this dessert spread and it was…

Why Your Baby’s Gut Health Is So Important
When piper was born, I didn’t know if I’d be able to breastfeed since my experience with Porter was unsuccessful. It took a little while, but we finally found our groove, but I’ve noticed a few things like how gassy she is and fussy she can be after feedings. A couple weeks after she came home, she also developed a horrible diaper rash, and broke out with baby acne all over. I know baby acne is common, and my son had it as well, but this time it was much more stubborn. I did my research and found this probiotic that works with breastmilk to transform the nutrients in breast…

Gut Connection Review
I was very excited to try out Gut Connection from Country Life. I have always believed a healthy gut is where you should begin when trying to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Country Life’s Gut Connection has many different products depending on what your tying to accomplish. Immune Balance, Digestive Balance, and Energy balance are just a few that they have to offer. So far, I have been using the Digestive Balance. Recently having another baby has turned my body and digestive system “upside down”. An unhealthy gut can lead to bloating, irregular bowel movements, and being just generally uncomfortable. How can I possibly get back into shape and…

The Stork Bag (Third Trimester)
Pregnancy is different for everyone whether you’re a first time mom or this is your second, third, fourth, etc. (good for you mama!) But one thing is the same for all pregnant women, we deserve to be pampered. I’m so bummed I didn’t come across The Stork Bag with my first pregnancy, and even so I wish I came across it sooner this pregnancy. The nice thing about The Stork Bag is that each bag is curated to whatever trimester you’re in. They offer first trimester, second trimester, third trimester, and even postpartum! I was afraid because I was already 4 weeks away from my due date that it would…

Teeth Whitening At Home (That Actually Works)
Over the last few months I’ve noticed in photos how yellow and dingy my teeth are starting to look. I have always wanted to get my teeth professionally whitened but never took the plunge. I have tried several at home cheaper options like the strips that never stay in place or fit properly, whitening pens that were useless, and even the LED lights but none of them seemed to work. I’m a daily coffee drinker and like to also enjoy a glass of red wine or two and I know over the years these have been my main culprit. As a mom of a toddler, and expecting our second little…

Similasan Allergy Eye Relief Review
Are you a seasonal allergy sufferer like me? This time of year is not particularly my favorite and my eyes tend to be my worst symptom. Itchy, watery, red eyes are the absolute worst, especially when you wear contacts…am I right? We took our son Porter to this zoo this past weekend, and my allergies were off the charts, so I found this to be the perfect time to try out these eye drops. I liked that this company offered single use droppers, so I didn’t always have to have a whole bottle in my purse. I threw a couple in my car, purse, diaper bag, so I had some…

Hooray for Heroes Book Review
I wanted to find something special to give to our son Porter when his sister is born in May. I had heard about these personalized books from Hooray for Heroes, so I decided to check them out. They have so many cute options to choose from whether its for your child’s birthday, adventures with their sibling, twins, holiday editions, or what they want to be when he or she grows up! We decided to choose the sibling book, and also use this book to reveal our daughters name to our family and friends. I wanted this book to help Porter better understand that he’s about to become a big brother…
