What I Got My 3-Year-Old Daughter For Christmas
Last week I talked about what I got my 6-month-old for Christmas, now it’s time to talk about what I got my 3-year-old daughter for Christmas. If you have been following along with the blog then you know that my daughter just had her 3rd birthday a couple of months ago. And I shared what I got for her 3rd birthday in that post. So as you can see my daughter’s birthday and Christmas are only a couple of months. What I have been doing when it comes to my daughter’s birthday and Christmas is getting gifts that complement each…

What I Got My 6-Month-Old Baby Girl For Christmas
With the holiday upon us, I’m starting to figure out what to get my 6-month-old baby girl for Christmas. This will be her very first Christmas and I’m so excited for her to be able to experience this time of year and us get to celebrate as a family of 4. Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I like to treat it as such. I know with my first daughter, I did and might have even gone a little overboard. I don’t know what it is about shopping for my girls, but I can not get enough of it. It…

Staying Sane During The Holidays
I don’t know about you all, but the holidays can feel overwhelming at times, so I’m always trying to stay sane during this time of year. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this time of year and look forward to it every year. But the hustle and bustle of it all can really drive up my anxiety and leave me feeling very stressed if I let it get to me. I prefer to experience a stress-free holiday than one that has me pulling my hair out. And as a stay-at-home mom who doesn’t have a consistent income, I…

What I Keep In My Medicine Cabinet For My 3 Year Old
With the colder months coming, it is time for me to start restocking the medicine cabinet for my 3-year-old. I don’t know if it is just my little one, but ever since fall arrived, she has been sniffling every other week. Here in Texas, the weather is all over the place with it being cold in the mornings and evenings and warmer during the afternoons. These temperature fluctuations are bound to have a few of us sniffling. So around this time of year, I like to make sure I have our medicine cabinet stocked full of our essentials and must-haves…

Surviving The 4-Month Sleep Regression
I feel like the 4-month sleep regression just came out of nowhere. Like one day, my little newborn baby girl went from being a pretty decent sleeper that would wake every 4 to 5 hours at night to waking up every 2 hours at night. And not only that, she was having a hard time going down for her naps during the day as well. It was like she had decided that she no longer needed sleep. But we all know what happens when a baby doesn’t get a nap. We wind up with a fussy, irritable, and overtired baby…

Boosting My Milk Supply As A Breastfeeding Mom
As a breastfeeding mom, I want to make sure I’m taking in and doing things that are boosting my milk supply for my baby girl. As I am writing this post, we are going 4 months strong and my baby girl is a great nurser. In fact, right after I had given birth to her, she was already rooting around and searching for the milk. This child came out knowing what to do and how to latch which I’m so thankful for. So since I have a child that knows what to do, I have to make sure that I’m…

Fun Places To Take A Toddler
When my first daughter turned one, I started googling some fun places to take a toddler, because I was ready for her to get out and start enjoying some activities. By one, my daughter was walking and was exploring the world around her so I knew that taking her out to places outside of our home would overall be really good for her. And since I’m a stay-at-home mom and my daughter has never even seen the inside of daycare, I really feel like it is important that she knows that things exist outside of our home. So when she…

Developmental Activities For A 4-Month-Old Baby
When my daughter hit the 4-month-old mark, I started looking into some developmental activities for her to start doing. Because when a baby turns 4 months, the fun starts. They have left the newborn stage where they couldn’t even hold up their head and have officially entered infanthood. Now, I wouldn’t expect your baby to be crawling or anything like that just yet. But if your baby is anything like my daughter, then they are smiling, babbling, and starting to reach for things that are held out for them to grab. This is the stage of infanthood where babies are…

My Diaper Bag Essentials As A Second-Time Mom
When it comes to my diaper bag essentials as a second-time mom, I have learned to keep it minimal. If you read what I packed in my hospital bag as a second-time mom, then you already know that I have become more minimal as a second-time mom. Like many first-time moms, my diaper bag was really loaded down with so many things that I did not need, but thought I would need. When I became a mom for the first time, I fell into the trap of thinking that I needed to pretty much bring the whole nursery with me…

What I Got My 3-Year-Old Daughter For Her Birthday
My daughter’s birthday was yesterday so I wanted to share what we got our 3-year-old daughter for her birthday! First of all, I can’t believe I have a whole 3-year-old! These 3 years have flown by and I’m so proud of the little girl that we are raising. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I share my silly girl on there quite a bit because she is full of so much personality in a little body. I have done numerous posts on what it is like being a mother to a toddler, so you all get…
