Sick X 2

Being sick and taking care of a sick baby is NO FUN! Being sick in general is never a joy ride but typically (minus baby) you could relax and take care of yourself. In my case that would mean lots of tea, hot soup, and many warm baths with good books. Those days are far…

Fashion Find: Beautiful Children’s Clothing Boutique – Baptism Dress Shopping

Mia had her baptism on November 22nd 2015. I was looking forward to my little girl being surrounded by close family and having a celebration. In our culture a lot of times families go all out for a baptisms. They’ll book halls or lavish restaurants for the occasion spending big bucks. My husband and I both agreed…

Sleeping: Moving Baby to the Crib

Breastfeeding, Pumping Or Bottle!?!?!?

I have to say, if I didn’t start pumping I don’t think I would still be providing my child breast milk! Before Mia was born, I had read SO MUCH about the benefits of breastfeeding and proper techniques ect. I remember my husband calling me during the day and multiple times, when he would ask…

Sleep: What Is That Again?

WOW I’m tired! I didn’t know the true meaning of sleep deprivation until Mia was born. I had complained about being tired in the past; maybe one or two nights a week where I didn’t have a great sleep. Maybe my sleep was cut short due to work or being out late with my husband…
