All opinions are mine alone. #FreeandCleanLiving #CollectiveBiasI’ll be the first to admit I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with cleaning. I hate to clean (unless I’m upset or angry then it’s the perfect way to take out my frustrations) but I have always loved the feeling of a clean house. Whether you’re a mom who works…
Just a few weeks before our trip, Jason sent me a screenshot of a place called Harmony Barbershop located inside Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. On their menu they have just three items and one is called the “My First Haircut” package for $25 (May 2018). Jason asked if we should hold off on Ben’s first haircut and get it done there. I already had it scheduled…
Thank you to Pepperidge Farm® for sponsoring today’s post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.For our beach adventures, I condense what I would usually keep in the diaper bag and my purse and add them into our beach bag. Since we have both kids to carry, I don’t also want to haul around three bags! At 13 months, Ben is mostly along for the ride. He is…
This post is sponsored by Happy Family but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. As you know, we’ve been quite busy these past month. We’re currently traveling and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. Since we’re traveling and living that hotel life (in three different hotels over one week!) we were sure to stock up on travel-friendly snacks and foods for the kiddos. Our…
Our Daily Feeding Schedule at 13 Months Old Ben is 13 months old, which means he is now transitioning to a diet of mostly food and whole milk, and less formula. We spend the ages of 6 months through 12 months working on feeding him from a spoon and then letting him feed himself with his fingers. Our pediatrician explained it was important to help him develop the…
As someone who has always been the member of a dual-income, middle class family, there are some things I take for granted. While I may be frustrated with the expensive hospital and doctor bills after the births of my babies, that stress is nothing compared to a parent who struggles to provide the essentials for their baby. Did you realize 1 in 3 families struggle to provides…
This baby boy has been one for two whole weeks. It doesn’t seem like it was a whole year ago when I was snuggling that squishy little newborn. I’m so happy he still loves to snuggle his mama. We did these same pictures with Blaire until she was two years old, so I guess we’ll see if I can keep it up with Ben that long! haha. (Second…
Ben is almost 11 months and we’re finally transitioning him to a convertible car seat because he is HEAVY. Carrying his little 23lb self + his 8lb car seat is giving me quite the arm workout/neck problems. He still falls asleep during most trips in the car so it has just been easier for us to keep him in a seat we can take in and out of…
Happy first birthday to my baby boy Benjamin Robert. I cannot believe we are celebrating one whole year with him today. I thought this milestone might be easier after my first baby, but it’s not. It’s still the strange mix of excitement for what’s to come, pride for all they’ve accomplished and nostalgia for those sweet newborn cuddles. I know I have said this before, but I always…

The links in this post contain affiliate links and I will receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking on my link. Spring may be my favorite season to shop for. The bright colors… The florals… No more layers and layers of clothes to get your kiddo out the door. Yay! A few of these styles are infant only, but most of them come in…
We have finally had some sunshine this past week and it’s been so refreshing to be able to get these kiddos outside! Last weekend, we went to a little local ice cream and candy shop for lunch and ice cream. And, of course, had to pick up some of our favorite candies while we were there. Ben slept the whole time, so it was quiet and relaxing, and…
