Good afternoon every one! Today's post is about Pink Blush!! I am so honored to be able to work with this company for a collaboration! I adore their clothes so much! They have super comfy maternity clothing as well as comfy women's and plus size clothing as well! I came across Pink Blush when I was pregnant with my daughter! I was looking for comfy yet stylish maternity clothes that didn't look like maternity clothes and that I could wear after my daughter was born too! I'm happy to say I'll be posting a picture of each outfit below with the link to purchase it below it!

Alexandra 8&9 month update!

Good afternoon everyone!! I'm so glad that you've stopped by to take a look at my blog! I haven't posted any monthly updates about Lexi the last two months! I'm sorry about that! So today I'm posting it! I'm also going to try and post either weekly or by-weekly! What are some suggestions y'all would like for me to post? Give me all the ideas! 
Ok now onto Lexi, she's 9 months old this month! She knows how to crawl, is learning to pull herself up and let's go so she can try and stand on her own! I'm so amazed at how much she's learning! She loves her books which I'm sure I've mentioned before, also loves to eat anything we eat! I'll post both her 8 month and 9 month pictures below! 

I'm amazed by how much she's growing! I can't believe in just 3 short months she'll be a year old! It's crazy how fast the first year goes by! Some might say that it goes by slowly especially if they are having cranky babies or just having day to day difficulties! But for us, it seems to go by fast since we have such an easy and happy go-lucky baby! It's been amazing and I just love motherhood so much! It's everything I dreamed about!💓

The other day I took a picture of Lexi and I! It's got to be one of my favorites yet!!💓💓

Praying that each of you have a wonderful day!!

I just love how all my shirts are so comfy to wear and also are at appropriate length and don't ride up when I bend down to pick Lexi up!👌

Lexi {7 Month Update}

Hello everyone! Hope each of you have been having a wonderful New Year and January! We had some snow near the beginning of this month which is so rare for North West Mississippi!! We've also had some nice warm days as well! I really can't wait for Spring so we can take Lexi to the park to swing and such! This month Lexi turned 7 months old! She's such a spunky little girl! She loves food, her daddy, going to the zoo, playing with her puppy (Cassie our Great Dane) and just overall loves learning new things! 💖😊

I have included some of my favorites this month! Having a cell phone to capture every moment is so amazing! I am so blessed to be this girl's mom! It's so fun to watch her grow and become more mobile these past few months! This month she hit a milestone and has been learning the ropes of crawling! Watching her hit these milestones are so awesome! I am in awe every day with how much she's growing and learning! 😍😘💖

Hope each of you have a wonderful evening!

Lexi's First 6 Months

So today I am writing a post about Lexi's first 6 months! Today she turned 6 months old and it feels like yesterday since she was born! It's been so much fun having her here!! I am including all of her "monthly milestone pictures" as well! So, her favorite thing to do these days are, squealing as loudly as can be! Loves her purees and also trying to spit them out at me too! Loves it when Daddy plays "airplane" with her, and just lights up period when daddy comes into the room where ever she is! 
Ok now onto the pictures!

This month is extra special cause this is Lexi's First Christmas!! I wanted to take her picture by the Christmas Tree to also be sort of her First Christmas photo! I definitely will try and take a better "Christmasy" photo soon!! It's so much fun having a little girl to dress up, play with, and cuddle when she isn't feeling well!! She's been teething very much lately and so the extra cuddles have been so nice! She's also a wonderful eater! Loves her purees, crackers, and even pancakes! Love my girly so much!!💗💗
Hope each of you have a wonderful night and week!!

Top 10 Must Have Items For Baby

I am putting together the top 10 baby items that I feel are necessary to have for baby!! I have experimented with items for our daughter and have decided to write a blog post about my favorite items!!
*Note: This post is not an ad for any items! Not being paid for by any companies these are just my thoughts on the best items to have for baby!

1. ErgoBaby Adapt Carrier
This item is a must have!! I just got this for my now 5 month old and I honestly don't know why I didn't get it when she was first born! It is so comfy for both mom and baby!! The Adapt is for newborn-toddler! It can be purchased from Ergobaby and they have 4 colors to choose from! I got the black since I wanted a color that can match every thing! I also got black to use for any other babies we have!😊

2. SwaddleMe Swaddle Wraps

Swaddle wraps are a lifesaver for newborns!! If we didn't have the swaddle wraps I don't know how we would have survived the newborn stage! Lexi loved being swaddled from the time she was born! And swaddle me swaddle wraps are perfect for beginners who have never swaddled before! These come in sizes from preemie-large! These can be purchased any where that sells baby items or from Summer Infant

3. SwaddleMe muslin swaddle blankets

These are a lifesaver as well! We love using these as blankets in the carseat, for naptime, for feeding times, and they were so useful while nursing! Lexi has 5 total and will probably have more as the time goes on! They're so lightweight and so useful! Here's the website to purchase from Summer Infant and also can be purchase anywhere!

5. Dr. Brown's Bottles

When we ended up having to bottle feed when my daughter was 6 weeks old. We were trying to find the best bottle that didn't make our girl swallow too much milk and end up throwing it back up! The ONLY bottle that worked were the Dr Brown's Bottles! And they still work to this day! This set is available at Babies-R-Us and also at stores that carry these bottles!

6. MAM Pacifiers

If you are going with pacifiers for self soothing the MAM pacifiers have worked so well with our daughter! We've used the ones that the hospital gave her, the Dr Browns ones (she still takes them every now and then) but she mostly now takes the MAM ones! They're so great for self soothing and for falling asleep for naps! Target has them as well as any baby store!

7. Baby Swing

When our daughter was 9 weeks old we got her a baby swing since she loved to be rocked and still loves to be rocked! We got this one from Babies-R-Us and couldn't be more happier with it! We wanted something gender neutral since I want to hold onto it and use it for future babies! One reason we went with a portable one was so we could store it without having to take up a lot of space!

8. Pack and Play systems

When our daughter was first born we didn't need a pack and play since we have a antique baby cradle that our daughter slept in. But once she outgrew that and got a little more mobile we got a pack and play for trips and for her to play in while at home! Here's a nice one to use from newborn-toddler from Target 

9. Boppy Nursing Pillows

These nursing/position pillows are so amazing!! Lexi has been using hers since she came home from the hospital and even at the hospital while we were nursing! And she still uses it at 5 months! This pillow is also great for when your little is learning to sit up and helps them be in more control! Here's where you can purchase it Boppy Company

10. Britax Marathon Carseat

When our daughter was just 2 months old we ended up needing to find her a new carseat! Her infant bucket seat was starting to be too small and she would scream the entire time she was in it.. So my husband and I started looking around and found a nice convertible carseat that fit all of our needs! This carseat met all of our requirements for our daughter and when we have future children we will be going with this to begin with! Britax Marathon Carseat

Seventh Generation Diaper Review

I had the opportunity to review a package of  Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers! I received them FREE from Seventh Generation!

Ok, so we have been using them for 2 days now and they are wonderful! They hold up really well and glad that my baby girl stays nice and dry in them! We haven't tried them at night since my 4 month old sleeps through the night and I don't want her to be soak and wet by the time she wakes up in the morning! If you're looking for nice cotton disposable diapers Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers are the way to go! They have the cutest designs out now too!!
Highly recommend them!
