BySamantha August 17, 2018May 28, 2019

These past few months have been draining emotionally, mentally, and physically. I tend to ignore my problems until either they go away or I have no choice but to do something.

BySamantha August 15, 2018May 29, 2019

Having an almost three year old means having a picky eater. I remember the days when he would eat whatever we gave him, just like Brooklyn now. One of the few things DJ is obsessed with is cheddar cheese. We try to add it to as many dishes as we can. The first time my…

Family Friendly Las Vegas | Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
BySamantha August 13, 2018

Bath Time Essentials For Baby
BySamantha August 11, 2018May 29, 2019

I remember the first time I gave each of my little ones their first bath. It was so terrifying. I think the thought of giving such a small tiny human a bath while holding their heads up and making sure you don’t get water in their faces is a bit nerve-wracking. One thing that helped…

Making The Most Of Nap Time
BySamantha August 7, 2018

As a parent, I find it hard to get everything I need done in a day. It was much more difficult when my little ones weren’t on the same schedule. Now that they are I find it much easier. I use nap time to do the bulk of the things I need to get done….

Hospital Bag Essentials
BySamantha August 4, 2018May 29, 2019

I remember packing my hospital bag for DJ two months in advance. My doctor and everyone around me kept telling me that since he was my first he would most likely be late. Everything I was told made me assume he’d be born closer to the end of September. I suppose my brain was thinking…

BySamantha July 20, 2018July 18, 2018

I have a bad habit of always cooking the same things for dinner. Even though I’m a stay at home mom I find it makes the day go smoother if I just cook one of my same simple meals. After David & I had a discussion the other day about me mixing it up, I…

5 Bottle Feeding Must Haves
BySamantha July 16, 2018May 29, 2019

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…

BySamantha July 13, 2018August 7, 2018

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…
