Why We Are Using Baby Probiotics

September 28, 2018

This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

I wanted to tell y’all again – thank you so much for all of your congratulations and well wishes on our baby announcement Monday! We are so thrilled to finally share this secret with you all. It has been a hard one to keep. Y’all know we are big fans of probiotics and fell in love with Evivo baby probiotics after I had Weston. I used them for a short time with him towards the end of our breastfeeding journey and I am so excited to use them again with our newborn this spring.

We’ve Been Keeping A Little Secret …

September 24, 2018

Well, it’s no secret I have been super MIA around here these last few weeks, but I promise I have a pretty good reason! I have tried to get back into the swing of things multiple times, but my body just kind of laughed at me for trying. I truly believe there is a season for everything and as much as I wanted to be working and sharing all the good sales with y’all, I have just had to listen to my body instead. So…we have been keeping a little secret, but I promise it is a good one!

New Fall Arrivals I’m Loving

September 6, 2018

Now that September is here, it is officially fall, right? At least, it is in my book! I honestly cannot believe that I haven’t pulled my pumpkins out yet, but that may have to change this weekend! I’m definitely in the mood to decorate for the changing season! Lately, sitting down to blog has not come easy, but I promise I’m not quitting on you. I have been sort of thinking about which direction I want to go from here as well as adjusting to our new schedules and figuring out some office hours has been a struggle. I’m still working it all out, but I am definitely going to make more of an effort to write more because I miss talking to you guys and writing in general.

After the Labor Day weekend and searching through the sales, I honestly didn’t take advantage of many, but I found some great new arrivals that have been added to my wish list! I ordered a few things and will be sharing on my IG stories over the next few days. Nordstrom is also having a great sale on some fall things and I will be sharing those as well, so be sure to follow along on Instagram!

Back to School 2018

August 22, 2018

It has been nothing but crickets around here and I honestly can’t believe I took so much time away from writing in this space, however, it was very needed. I cleaned out my entire house, spent a lot of time with my babies, went on a beach trip with Ryan and really just got caught up and organized in my personal life which has been neglected for a while and desperately needed to get done. So, while I was taking time away from the blog, I was most definitely working on our home. haha This week, my babies went back to school and I might have teared up a little bit. I’m sure the waterworks will come more next year, but for now, I have a preschooler! The time has flown! How did my baby get to be so big?

Thirty Things I’ve Learned in Thirty Years

August 10, 2018

Well, I’ve officially joined the thirty club! I honestly was feeling a lot of dread a couple of years ago knowing that I was so close to 30 but feeling more like 18. Can anyone else relate? It’s like I woke up one day fully expecting to still be in college, but somehow ended up married with three kids. haha I honestly could not feel more blessed and as I woke up this morning, all I felt was gratitude. Grateful for my family’s health, my husband, my babies, good friends, and a wonderful extended family. Grateful for our jobs that are too fun to feel like work. Just grateful. I wanted to stop and thank you guys, too. Y’all have no idea how much you mean to me. I love this community. Interacting with y’all through DMs and emails is literally what I look forward to most every day (other than spending time with my kids, of course). I will answer some of your questions from IG at the bottom of this post, so be sure to read to the end!

How to Get Kids Settled For Bedtime

July 31, 2018

I know we have all been there…our kids are sick (or maybe it’s an every night thing) and absolutely nothing you do seems to get kids settled for bedtime. I’ve been there. In fact, I am the one who’s kids seem to struggle on a nightly basis. One night in particular was a little worse. This past New Year’s Eve, Sophie broke out in a terrible rash and was running a really high fever. The fever started out low the day before, but it spiked this day. She looked so pitiful and like she did not feel good at all, so I quickly called her pediatrician and they recommended I go to a 24 hour doctor’s office (as they were closed). We were there for 4 hours.

My sick (could barely hold her head up) 2 year old had to wait 4 hours to see a doctor. She ended up having strep throat and scarlet fever. The doctor sent her a prescription to our usual pharmacy and by the time we got there, they had closed. I had no idea what to do. It was nearly 11p.m. at this point and I knew I needed to get that medicine in her as soon as possible. I called the doctor office back but they were closed. I started to drive around, not really knowing what to do, when I saw it! Walgreens was OPEN! The drive-thru ws OPEN! I didn’t even have to get out of my car!

I wasn’t sure if they could get her medicine for me, but after talking to the super nice pharmacist, he worked with us to get her perscription and filled it immediately! After frantically driving around after an already exhausting night and a very sick toddler in the back seat, I was so so very thankful! Ever since then, we have used our new preferred pharmacy – Walgreens! They have always been so helpful and are always open. Even more so, they are a pharmacy and retailer who cares.

Now, Walgreens is our one-stop-shop for all things baby! JOHNSON’S® – the brand you trust is now more gentle than ever! JOHNSON’S® baby products have relaunched at Walgreens and I loved their easy-to-find display! As a mom of three under 5, we have gone through a fair share of JOHNSON’S® products over the last several years. It is the #1 choice for hospitals and is now more gentle than ever! A new look from the inside out! There is also a brand new product on the shelves – JOHNSON’S® COTTONTOUCH™ Newborn Wash & Shampoo! It absorbs fast and feels so soft and is great to get kids settled before bedtime!

JOHNSON’S® baby products are 100% gentle and free of paragons and phthalates. They are dye and sulfate free making them worry-free for moms! There are now 50% fewer ingredients with over 90% naturally derived ingredients. I also love that they added the pump top to the bottles making them so easy to use. I already have my hands full enough at bath time! 9 out of 10 parents recommend these simpler and gentler products! JOHNSON’S® continues to evolve with the millennial mom to keep up with the changing needs of mom and baby. They maintain the safest ingredients while staying true to the brand people love and trust.

On a normal night when we are all feeling well but still struggling to get our kids to bed, I have a little routine that really helps! This is something my grandmother actually taught me to do and it really works! When you feel like you can’t get kids settled, try this!

How to Get Kids Settled for Bedtime:

We give the kids a warm soothing bath with our favorite JOHNSON’S® products from Walgreens. This allows them to get some of that late night energy out and they feel good and clean afterwards. Don’t you always sleep better after a good bath? Babies do, too!

Next, I put JOHNSON’S® lotion on them and put their PJs on. We crawl into my bed and read a bedtime story. Sometimes more than one, but we try to choose one a night.

Lastly, I tuck them in bed and if one is not wanting to go to sleep, I lay down with them (lights off) and tell them a story in a soft low voice. Before you know it, they will be snoring! Works every time!

Now through 8/25 you you can buy 1 get one 50% off all JOHNSON’S® baby products with your savings rewards card! Get this special offer here! #TrustInGentle

What Baby Eczema Is Telling You About Gut Health

July 30, 2018

This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

All three of my children have suffered from baby eczema. They are doing so much better after making a few changes to their diet and products that we use, but for a while it was such a problem. I hated seeing them constantly scratching and seeing the red dry patches on their beautiful little faces. It was frustrating not knowing what to do about it and having a lot of different opinions coming at me from all directions. That is, until I started doing a lot of research on baby eczema and how your baby’s gut health can contribute to that along with allergies colic and a host of other issues. A lightbulb went of in my head when I read this because my oldest son was a colic baby and had the worst eczema out of all of them. Being our first baby, we had no idea what what to do about it. Was it normal? Were we doing something wrong?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018: Still in Stock

July 27, 2018

I know the lack of restocks during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 have been…frustrating to say the least. I hope that some of you who waited until public access were able to snag some things that were on your wishlist! I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of things that are still in stock so that it will save you time and frustration while shopping. Some of my favorite things are still fully stocked! The good news is that some of my favorite things are still fully stocked! ! I also returned a few of the sold out items because I did not care for them as much as others seem to, so don’t sweat it if you didn’t get some of the more popular things.

How I Stay Active as a SAHM

July 25, 2018

Let me preface this post by saying that I am not even close to the most fit mom or blogger. There are so many other bloggers that I love to follow who are truly inspirational when it comes to fitness. However, I do get asked how I stay active, what workouts I do, etc. and wanted to write a post on it so that you guys can hopefully look back on it as a resource or encouragement. Most of you know that I have three beautiful babies. If you are new here, I had three babies in three years and ten days. A little crazy and unexpected, but the biggest blessings of my life. Things have been hard at times, but I can’t even imagine our lives any other way. With that being said, because I have three young kids and am trying to run a business on my own, it does not leave a lot of time for exercising.

Our Family Vacation

July 23, 2018

We went on our last family vacation of Summer last week. So bittersweet. We went to my grandparent’s house in Jacksonville again because we did not get to do everything we wanted to last time we were there. Unfortunately, it rained nearly every day we were there again this trip, but we still had a lot of fun. We went to a family member’s neighborhood pool where they have the best kid pool. My kid’s had a ball there. We also went back to the awesome park with a splash pad that day and they had so much fun. Man, it’s good to be a kid, isn’t it? I totally took it for granted.
