Before I became a mom, I never imagined myself being obsessed with baby swim gear and accessories. But now baby swim classes are routine with Hazel! I'm not sure if loving the water is something...

The Baby Products I Never Use And 11 I Can’t Live Without
A few months post baby and there are a few baby products I never use. And when I was making my registry, all I heard from other parents was how much I actually DON'T NEED for baby. They warned me that first-time parents have a tendency to overdo the purchasing and end...

The ULTIMATE Baby Registry Round Up
Well, this is it! The ultimate baby registry round up! The last one of them all! This post is set to publish the day before I'm scheduled to be induced. So if all goes as planned, I'll be headed into the hospital tomorrow, fully prepared to meet our Baby Girl for the...

Registry Round Up: Baby Bath Time Essentials
I love baby bath time. The ritual of it. The slowing down of it all. Because let's be honest, is there anything sweeter than a freshly bathed...chihuahua? I'm just kidding! I've bathed plenty of babies (of both the human and fur variety) in my day. I may even...

Registry Round Up: Must-Have Baby Tech
I don't know if I'd classify myself as a technophile, but I definitely enjoy any sort of "gear." When I say "gear," I mean, GEAR. Cool, probably unnecessary stuff that makes life just a little bit easier. A little more custom. A little more savvy. So it should...

Pregnant During a Pandemic: Everything Changes
Going through a global pandemic in the world is one thing, but I can confidently say being pregnant during a pandemic is a whole other experience. Since I got pregnant, people asked me: “what’s your birth plan?”. And my answer was sorta simple: take the classes at...

Everything I Packed In My Hospital Bag
Okay, so at first, packing my hospital bag for my upcoming hospital visit (AKA labor!) didn’t seem like that big of a deal. But as it got closer, I realized I sorta wanted to bring a lot of things! I started to go with the “if it will make this day any easier, I’m...

Registry Round Up: The Most Comfortable Baby Carriers
Well it's about that time: time to buy look into the best baby carriers! There's been a whole lot of talk of being a "carrier" these days. So it's ironic that I had this weekend slated way ahead of time to share the baby carriers Brett and I considered. And the ones...

Registry Round Up: My Must-Read Pregnancy Books
When I first found out and shared I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed with love, support, advice...and pregnancy books! Almost immediately, books started arriving in the mail from other mothers in my life. They were eager to share things that had helped them navigate...

Registry Round Up: The Best Nursery Chairs and Rockers
I was really tempted to start out this post about nursery chairs by saying something clever about being "off my rocker," but it just isn't coming to me. So instead, I'll just say that no nursery feels complete without a comfy corner nursery chair in place. I knew I...

Registry Round Up: I Can’t Decide Which Diaper Bag
I like a good bag as much as the next girl, so I figured picking out a diaper bag would be fun and easy. I was wrong. Probably harder than the things I thought I'd never need. There are so many choices. Tote or backpack? Vegan leather or nylon? Removable insert or...
