How Our Baby Slept Through the Night After Just 3 Days of Sleep Training
Babies and children crave routine. I too crave routine as a structural person. When I first started staying home with Little Guy, we had a huge lack of routine. He also started eating solids and teething all at the same time which disrupted his sleep too. We were frustrated, exhausted parents. Little Guy would wake up at 11pm and again at 3am. Since I stayed home, I was the one who would roll out of bed all bleary-eyed and take care of him. For WEEKS we didn’t know what to do. I’m not an expert or doctor. This is just what worked for us! I love sharing any life hack,…

The Simple Guide to Cloth Diapers
When I started to look into cloth diapers when Little Guy was just weeks old, I was severely overwhelmed by all the information coming at me. I wished there was a super simple guide to cloth diapers, but there just wasn’t. When searching the rabbit hole of Pinterest, I found a few blogs here and there but none gave me actionable steps on how to start. I participate in the Amazon Affiliates Program.

Preparing for Baby: How We Cut Down Our Medical Bills
Having a baby is super expensive. For us the expense wasn’t buying the things Little Guy would need, it was the enormous medical bills that came after our hospital stays. You have nine months to prepare for this. Do you have a savings game plan? There are loads of ways to save money each month. Just look at my 20 life hacks to be more frugal post! Where you put that money is a different story entirely. When we found out we were pregnant in August of last year, we immediately changed our spending habits. We went from spending $4300 a month (fixed bills/mortgage and variable expenses) to spending $3300…

How to Perfect Your New-Mom Beauty Routine
How to Perfect Your New-Mom Beauty Routine Disclaimer: I’ve never been a morning person. Never have been and never will be. I’m the person who has always rolled out of bed and gone to work or school within 30 minutes. So when I was put on modified bed rest due to pregnancy complications, I knew I had to simplify (even more) how I got ready every morning. Now that I have a squirmy new babe, I can absolutely say this routine makes me feel normal again. Getting ready in the morning helped me fight off postpartum depression and anxiety.

Make Sunday Your Best Day
Make Sunday the platform for the rest of your week. You should be able to go to bed knowing that the rest of the week will be a breeze. Since my work schedule changed from 10am-7pm to 7am-3pm, I have had to make a lot of changes to my daily routine. No longer could I wake up at 8am and have a thorough amount of time to get ready. Many friends and family know that I am not a morning person (nor did I think I ever would be). Being productive before 7am was a joke. Literally. I would joke with my husband that I didn’t think there was oxygen…
