Winter is here (in my Game of Thrones voice) and so is cold/flu season…eeeek š I love this time of the year but I sure don’t love that. I’m totally the mom that stops traffic walking into the grocery store to wipe it down before putting Cora in it. Eric laughs at me every time I do it, but come on…so many germs!! But I can’t save Cora from…

Cora’s 1st Haircut at SmartStyle
This post is sponsored by SmartStyle. All thoughts & opinions are my own. It seems like just yesterday Cora was a tiny infant who barely had any hair. To be honest, she barely had any hair until she was around 18 months old. I was actually worried my baby would never have hair lol. I’m kidding but you know what I mean. I was impatiently waiting for her to…
Potty Training Chronicles
This post is sponsored by Summer Infant. All thoughts & opinions are my own. Our smart little babes grow up so fast and before we know it, they start giving us soft hints that they may be ready to potty train. Cora had started giving me hints by being super intrigued by the “big” potty that mommy & daddy used, by periodically telling me when she went potty or…
Keeping the Bacteria Away
In partnership with Tide This world is full of bacteria, it’s just life ya know. You can be as clean & safe as physically possible but it’s just not going to happen. Maybe if you covered yourself in a huge bubble your whole life lol but even then I’m sure the germs & bacteria would find a way to get to youĀ š haha. But seriously, bacteria germs are…
OshKosh B’gosh, It’s Overalls Day!
This post is sponsored by OshKosh B’gosh on behalf of Everywhere Agency; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. The first thing that comes to mind when I think about OshKosh B’goshĀ is DEFINITELY Overalls! It’s their staple piece! OshKosh B’gosh has been making quality denim since 1985, yes…that’s right, 1985!!! They have completely mastered overalls for our darling children and have so many adorable options available. Whether you’re…
The Best Diaper Mat
Babies, toddlers, kids of all ages are just plain messy..right?! Cora can make a full on disaster in less than a minute and this totally includes inside her diaper tooĀ š LOL. But making messes is part of life & actually apart of their growth, so let’s learn how to control them. When Cora was a newborn, I had 2 types of diaper mats in my bag- the disposable mats &…
Our Night Routine with JOHNSONāSĀ®
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TrustInGentle #ChooseGentle #CollectiveBias I realized I hadn’t yet shared Cora’s bedtime routine with ya’ll and I thought it would be a fun post to do. It’s actually something we set into motion very early on.Ā I work 50 hours a week and though maternity leave was amazing with Cora while she was a…
Stuffed Animals Need Baths Too
Every night Cora get’s a bath, minus the random crank-fest evening or late night dinner thing that throws our routine out the door LOL. Moms- you know what I mean! So basically every night I make sure my daughter is stripped of the germs of the day & going to bed nice and clean. At least, that’s what I thought until I started thinking about her sweet stuffed animals…
Toddler House Bed
We recently upgraded Cora’s room at her grandparents house to having a Toddler Bed in it. I posted a photo on Instagram of it & received SOO many requests asking where we bought it, how do you make one, etc etc. And the truth is we didn’t buy it, Cora’s Grumpy (my dad) made it for her. We could probably start our own little business selling them from how many…
Toddler Berry Smoothie
When Cora first started eating actual food, she LOVED vegetables. She could eat an entire bowl of black olives, broccoli, or tomatoes. As she got older though & realized what other foods/flavors there were she stopped eating all the veggies. It seemed these days, I had to “trick” her to get more vegetables in her diet. So I started racking my brain to see what the best way to do…
