Mom Life

I received an iHide Car Seat Organizer in exchange for a review of the item on my blog.  All opinions are my own.   We have been on the go this summer!  Whether it be around town or traveling we have been busy.  This is our first official summer traveling with an infant.  We’ve learned

My little man’s birthday is this week!  I successfully kept him alive for a year! I can hardly believe that one year has passed by.  Being a first time mom, everything seemed to be a  new learning experience.  Now that I’ve made it through my first year,  there are several things that I’ve learned!

At 11 months old I can finally say C has 2 teeth!  Took him long enough!  However, getting this two teeth in was no picnic.  C experienced the whole gamut of things that come with teething.  He had a cold, runny nose, cough, pain, swelling, tears, and food strike.   Did I miss anything?   The good news

We recently embarked on a 10 hour road trip to South Dakota with “C.” In the past, we’ve been on 5 hour trips without much trouble but now we were doubling the time. The great news is it went very well! We did more planning and were more prepared now than we were pre-baby.  That being said,

Finally a new recipe on the blog! This one was just too good not to pass along.  I have to credit my aunt for telling me about this chocolatey, gooey, crunchy deliciousness.  If you are looking for a healthy recipe, this isn’t for you.  If you are looking for a tasty treat and a cool

Father’s Day is quickly approaching.  At my house it isn’t always the easiest thing to come up with a Father’s Day gift.  My husband doesn’t want much ever.  I try to be creative and sometimes I’m successful but most times not.  My husband however is the far more sensitive one of between the two of

We all know that sun protection is so important for baby.  I know I’ve been lathering on the sunscreen on my little guy.  Luckily I’ve found a great website Skin Deep that’s helped me make decisions based on chemical composition of different skin products for baby.  Since I’m putting on sunscreen on my little guy

We moved into our house 4.5 years ago now.  There have been several different things I wanted to change, one being some of the landscaping.  This year I finally decide to conquer the south side of our house and turn it into a suburban garden!

Happy Saturday!  We are winding down Celebrating Baby this weekend!  It’s been a fun series and today’s category “Baby Spaces” was one of my favorites!  However, I already did my post on my little guy’s nursery that I did on a budget and didn’t want to bore you with the same post but if you

I’ve always said I’m not much of a baby person.  True, in my job I work with kids, but not babies.  I actually dreaded the thought each year of getting a new caseload and finding out that would be stuck with babies.  I had been lucky and everyone else wanted them so I never ended up with

Yes, we brought our baby to Disney World.  Some people told me I was crazy others thought it wasn’t such a bad idea to do Disney with a baby.  I thought we might as well give it a try!  I’m glad we did.  Bringing a baby to Disney is a breeze!  Disney is so accommodating

We are having a garage sale next month and I have been getting some stuff cleared out.  Since we did a little revamp to our room and bathroom I was getting some old pictures out of there and moving them to the pile of garage sale stuff.  There were two frames that I really liked,

Yep you read it right I made a headboard.  If you are about to fall off your chair I don’t blame you.  We had a bed frame and headboard in our room that I hated.  If you just rolled over in bed the thing creaked like it was going to fall apart.  On top of
