My Top 5 Baby Must Haves...

Everyone has their baby must haves, but are they always the most functional?
Below I'm going to list some pro's and some con's on each item, with REAL life reasons as to why they are amazing, and what kind of sucks about them.
I hope this will help you with your decision making!



Fisher Price Auto Rock N Play


This is a life saver with Skye. Not only does this fit perfectly next to our bed, without taking up much room, but it's super easy to pick up and move to a different room. It folds up, and fits in the truck of my Honda Civic with no problems whatsoever. The real bread winner of this is the automatic rocking attachment. Skye loves to be moving while she sleeps, in the hospital the only way we could even get her to stay asleep was pacing around the room with her.
The only downfall of this product is the music, a lot of times right when you turn it on the music starts playing and will wake the baby up. Now this may not be an issue for everyone, but we've found that Skye really isn't a huge fan of music or rainforest sounds while she sleeps (She prefers a constant white noise). But in all honesty it isn't really a con, seeing as though I know plenty of people whose babies loves music while they sleep.


A Glider and Ottoman Set




I can't even begin to tell you how essential this is. While pregnant I wanted one, but didn't realize how badly I was going to need it. I exclusively breast feed Skye (She occasionally gets a bottle of breast milk too) and when we finally got this it literally changed our nursing sessions. This is so much more comfortable for both you and baby. This is the exact Glider that I have off of Amazon, and it is so comfortable. It makes it so much easier, that we actually moved it into the living room so that I could nurse her comfortably when we are watching a movie, etc. I don't even just use it for nursing, she LOVES to be rocked to sleep and honestly I fall asleep in it too.
The only downfall of a glider set, is that they can be a little pricy, but they are 100% worth every penny.




Britax B-Safe 35 Elite Car Seat



I love this seat, when looking at reviews on different brands I knew that I wanted a Britax seat. This seat supports her head perfectly, and actually comes with all of the infant inserts. This seat is actually really easy to take apart and clean as well. Skye spit up in it, and it took about 30 seconds for Andrew to pull it apart and wash the inserts. The seat itself is super light, and the base is really easy to install. It is a fairly small car seat, and fits in my Honda Civic perfectly.



Britax B-Agile Stroller


While I know we could have gotten the matching stroller for our car seat, I really wanted the B-Agile stroller. I love how easy it is to open and close, especially since you can close it with one hand. It is a full size stroller, but when it folds up it takes up hardly any space. That was a huge deciding factor for most of the baby products that I wanted, since I drive such a small vehicle. This fits in my trunk, with a ton of room to spare.
The only downfall I see to this is that you have to buy all of the stroller attachments (Snack Tray, Cup Holder, etc.).



Blooming Bath




I know a lot of people actually dislike this item, but personally I love this thing.
This sits in our kitchen sink perfectly, and we don't have to worry about her being uncomfortable either. I love how soft it is, and it never loses shape. Another plus is that it's super cute!
The only downfall to this is drying it, they say to let it hang dry, but it does take forever to do that, and it will drip. I actually just throw mine in the dryer right after use, and it works great.

Gift Ideas For Men

Image
Something I always seem to struggle with, is what to buy for the men in my life. For some reason I find it harder to shop for them, than anyone else! Here are some of them items, I know that so many men would love! A neck massaging pillow, Andrew gets so many knots in his upper back; and I genuinely think that this would help him! Not to mention that any guy, knots of not enjoys a good massage every now and then.   A beanie with bluetooth, while this isn't something I would buy for Andrew, I know plenty of men, even my dad, who would enjoy this. Andrew has wireless earbuds, so this isn't something that would interest him. But I feel like for people who run, or even just work outside in cold weather, this would be a great buy! A lot of men carry their wallets in their back pockets, so I thought this would be a great gift. This is so much slimmer than most wallets, so I thought this would be a more practical and comfortable option!   ...

My Goals For 2019..

Image
2018 was an especially rough year for our family. We struggled financially, our marriage almost fell apart, we moved across the country, and had too many deaths in our family. there were many tears shed, and I would never want to go through last year again. I'm starting 2019 with a positive mindset; and really striving this year to reach my goals. This is the year I don't want to have an anxiety attack everyday about paying a phone bill or car payment on time. •Have a healthy baby girl. Our newest addition to our family is coming in just two short months! I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by. We do have a first name for her already, but haven't settled on a middle name. Once we figure that out we will announce her name! •Potty train Skye. Skye will be two in march, and I really want to start actively working on getting her out of diapers. She has started showing interest in potty training, and told me when she has to go twice! But i all reality, wi...
