5 Bottle Feeding Must Haves
How you end up feeding your baby always seems to cause a lot of controversy. I don’t really understand it. As long as your baby is fed that should be all that matters. I ended up having to formula feed since I didn’t produce any milk. Nevertheless, whether you formula feed or pump you will end up bottle feeding (unless you strictly breastfeed without pumping). These are my 5 bottle feeding must haves. This post contains affiliate links. I may get a small commission at no extra cost to you. For more information check the sidebar.

Graham Cracker Toffee
I’ve been in a rut recently, and decided to make a special treat for my family as a thank you for everything they do. Even my little ones do more for me than they even realize. I decided to break out my Great American Home Baking book and find something that was easy & sweet. I decided on the Graham Cracker Toffee. Of course I had to edit the recipe slightly to how I wanted to make it. It was a hit though! It definitely is sweet, so I hope you have a sweet tooth. First things first, I gathered all my ingredients. The only thing I didn’t gather was the water.…

Family Friendly Las Vegas | Fractured Prune
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to finally go the Fractured Prune. I definitely believe that coming here is a must, especially if you’re like me & my little ones, and LOVE donuts. Fractured Prune’s donuts are delicious. I was so impressed. They make all donuts to order, however you want. You fill out a sheet with how many donuts you want. You can choose from their list of options or customize them however you see fit with the glazes and toppings that they have. I’m actually so upset that somehow I misplaced our sheet, and can’t find the picture I took. I tried at least one bite…

Grief as a Parent
When I was fifteen years old I lost my step-dad Dennis. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. It felt as though someone ripped a piece out of me. The grief was too much. As a teenager I openly grieved. I did not care who saw my anger or depression, because I had nobody around me that I wanted to shield the pain from. I was experiencing grief as a teenager, not grief as a parent. On June 19, 2018 I lost my Nana. Until now the death of my step-dad was the hardest thing I had ever gone through. This time no matter how much…

Sephora PLAY! | June 2018
This month’s Sephora Play box did NOT disappoint. Lets dive in to the June 2018 box. As per usual the insert is very cute. Perfect Setting Powder | Cover FX It said on the insert I received the light medium color, but I actually received light translucent. I’m definitely excited to try this for setting my concealer. I don’t use powder anywhere else though, because I have extremely dry skin. Melted Matte | Too Faced I am so happy about this product. Melted Mattes are my FAVORITE liquid lip apart from Colour Pop. I cannot wait to use this color. It’s definitely one of my favorite kind of shades.…

Dominican Sofrito
One “ingredient” that is a staple in my house is Dominican sofrito. My husband is Dominican, and his family uses it to season all different kinds of meat. His family doesn’t actually call is sofrito, they call it sazon. This post contains affiliate links. I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

My husband likes to use the stalk of celery to push the ingredients down. Once everything is chopped, I add the peppers, onions, garlic, celery, and…

Family Friendly Las Vegas | Silverton Casino Free Aquarium
One of my favorite places to take my little ones is the Silverton Casino free aquarium. Normally, we will go to the buffet and then follow that up with the aquarium. On a good day we will catch the mermaid. For a schedule of when to see the mermaid, or live feeding you can check their website here. I’ve always liked the cylinder aquarium. It is beautiful. I love the aquarium even more now. Seeing things through DJ and Brooklyn’s eyes is such an amazing experience. DJ wants us to get fish for the house now. Both of them will just stare at the fish for as long as we…

Summer Infant Digital Touchscreen Monitor | Review
Review: Summer Infant Digital Touchscreen Monitor It’s crazy to think that our family never had a baby monitor until after my son was two. We didn’t really think we needed one since both of the little ones has their cribs in our room. The only times we sometimes wished we did was when we had friend over after bedtime, and we didn’t want to keep the door open and risk waking them. Right before our wedding this past October our neighbor was moving. She asked us if we wanted a baby monitor she has found while packing, and it was never opened. It was the Summer Infant digital touchscreen monitor.…

Why You Should Always Back Up Your Blog
Why You Should Always Back Up Your Blog Always back up your blog. Always. I learned this the hard way a few days ago. I had posted a new post in the morning, and had spent the better part of the day promoting it to all different social medias. Since I’m a stay at home mom most of my day is spent taking care of them, and playing with them. I went to go back on my blog around 7 o’clock at night when I saw I had a few emails letting me know I had quite few comments. To my horror I couldn’t get on to the admin page,…
