In our home it is very important that we teach love and compassion. Since Izzy was a baby we have not only talked about these things, but read books to Izzy that expose her to different cultures and skin tones and also books that teach …
Tantrums are real and they are going to happen. It’s a really difficult time when they start, but if you follow some simple tips and stay consistent you can reduce the tantrums significantly. I’m giving you some of the best tips I’ve gathered along …
Being a mother is hard work, dressing up my child has been one of the fun parts. Ever since Izzy was an infant I have truly enjoyed picking out her outfits and dressing her everyday. Budgeting for fashion isn’t always as fun and can be difficult. I’m sharing two shops with you that have some adorable fashions for this fall without breaking the bank!
1. Frogs and Flowers Fashions
This company has fashions for infant-adult. Her shop is growing and full or adorable goodies for every season! Her fall clothing has me way too excited! From pumpkin moccasins to halloween rompers I’m really loving it all. You will find on Instagram the shop owner shares her giveaways and discounts. Go give this shop a follow here so you don’t miss out!
When dressing Izzy for the fall there are days I just love to layer her! In GA is can be hot one day and cool the next or warm during the day and cool by night, especially in the fall. As Izzy models below you will find rompers that are great for now while it’s warmer but can easily be paired with leggings, a long sleeve top or sweater as it gets cooler. After all we want the kids clothes to last as long as possible and through as many seasons as we can right?
If you are a Halloween lover then you will love the festive goodies this shop has for your boy(s) or girl(s).

2. Little Me
This company has newborn, baby and toddler sizes. You will find pjs, clothing, swim suits and more. If you are looking for sweet fashions that won’t break the bank I suggest you check them out.
I’m so excited to have more days where Izzy can go into sweatshirts and sweatpants! I love the sweatsuit look and it’s pure comfort for her. What girl doesn’t love a little fashion and comfort mixed together? The pjs and sweatsuit shown below were super easy for Izzy to move around & play in which is one of the most important things when it comes to finding her clothes.

Kids, toddlers and babies love electronics! Izzy loves to play games on mommy’s phone when her patience have worn out. I love to hand it over when I am in a crunch and need her to attend to a task for just a few more …
Okay, I think I have a problem… I’m addicted to diaper bags! Seriously, can you have too many? I’m going to say no, my husband would say otherwise. Today I’m sharing a beautiful bag with you all that is BIG and budget friendly! HOW CUTE …
As a new mom one of the scariest things may be the thought of SIDS. I remember staring at Isabella and waking to every tiny noise to be sure she was alive and okay. I remember touching her so gently as she slept because I couldn’t tell if she was breathing or not. As she moved into her nursery I remember staring at the monitor until I fell asleep. So you can maybe sleep a little more soundly, here are some safety tips I learned from the hospital and pediatricians.
I’d like to share a company called Colgate with you. They are a finalist for the 2016 Eco Excellence Awards for the BEST nursery mattress. If you are looking for a mattress to help your kiddo sleep safe and sound then I suggest you look into this company and their many mattress options.
We have the Retro Posh mattress. This mattress has dual firmness to meet the needs of infants and up. This mattress is also the limited edition 60th anniversary foam crib mattress. Beyond the adorable design, the biggest reason I chose this mattress the fact that a portion of the proceeds is donated to First Candle which will fund research towards the prevention of SIDS. How awesome is that?
Izzy is loving her mattress and so am I. It’s cute, helps a good cause and fits tightly into her crib. She thinks it’s pretty comfy too! I’ll just say, she’s been taking longer naps than usual and sleeping in a little longer.
Shop for your Retro Posh mattress here.

Does your child like their food separated? Is it hard for you to bring a special sectioned plate everywhere you go? I have found an easy peasy way to deal with these issues! With Food Cubby you will be able to separate food on a …
What do pretty much all kids eat? Fruit! What do they pretty much all dislike? Vegetables! Izzy has loved applesauce since she first had a tiny taste at 4 months old. I want to share with you all how I get some veggies mixed into …
Do you look at your child and worry for them? All of the things they will experience in life that you know will hurt them and hurt you all the same? I’ve thought about this a lot lately and I worry for my child mostly because she is a girl and girls can be mean. I’m sure you heard about the body shaming on the internet by Dani Mathers. It’s not okay, what are we teaching these younger girls?
Isabella I want you to know that some most girls can mean. But I want you to be like me and keep your heart open. Love all until you see that they are not worthy of your love. At the same time be cautious with that love and don’t give too much of yourself and that bright beautiful personality. The more you give the more it’s going to hurt when they push you down. Someone will, honestly many will in your adolescence and adulthood. You see girls can be so mean. My husband asks me, “Why do girls have such a hard time being nice and getting along?” I don’t have an answer for him. I wonder too, why we can’t bring each other up and pull each other to the top rather than push each other down. As long as I see woman continuing this conduct I hoped to escape when leaving middle school, high school, college, I’m not sure this nasty behavior will end.
It starts with us the moms, the caretakers, the teachers, the grandmothers. We need to put an end to it. We need to raise strong, brave, loving woman that are confident enough to not have a need to bring others down. Show love to your daughter and show her how to be kind to others. Correct your child and explain to them why something they are doing can be hurtful. Ask your child if they would feel happy being treated that way. I taught social skills and in that class bullying, making friends and keeping friends was a big topic. So be that teacher to your child. Demonstrate the correct behavior and as woman, please let us put this means girls crap to rest!
For now I’m going to hold my child tight and try not to worry, but hope that she won’t have many mean girl days ahead. I’m trying not to fear the days of her dealing with being left out, lied about, lied to and emotionally abused.
It starts with us MAMAS! Let’s end it now!

I’m a photo addict! It annoys my husband sometimes because I constantly ask him to back up my phone photos and videos or save all of my images onto an external hard drive for me so I can keep loading up more from my camera. …
