Parker’s 1st Birthday + Family Vacation

I have been totally M.I.A lately and apologize, but I have had such a creative block and honestly I have just been soaking up all of my babe before he turned the big ONE! From party planning, his 1st birthday party to our little family vacation and even starting a new “job”, we have been quite busy over here. Not to mention a little regression on the whole sleeping through the night thing [please send coffee]. Anyways, for anyone who wants to read all about what we have been up too, keep on reading!

Our food journey-starting solids

Mama don’t fear-meal time tricks are here!

Starting solids was…lets just say different. My babes HATED IT and I am sure I am not alone on this. He would gag and turn his head in refusal. It was quite hilarious but also very frustrating. Our doctor recommended to us that we should start with a green veggie, so we did, we choose to start with broccoli. He loved it until he didn’t. One day he was so into it, then the next, he would cry like no ones business. It left us extremely confused. Continue reading Our food journey-starting solids

Let’s talk diapers!

I know…diapers. Riveting, right? But hey, late night, early morning, mid-day, diaper changes are going to happen. It’s something that all parents are familiar with. There is like a gazillion diaper brands on the market, but it’s honestly trial and error when it comes to finding out what type or brand you like. Continue reading Let’s talk diapers!

There are soooooo many baby products on the market and it’s really hard to focus on what’s actually needed/helpful and what’s just “cool”. Especially trying to do all this while prego, forget about it! Continue reading Baby products I wish I knew about sooner
