    The Ergo 360 from the Baby Cubby

      Babywearing is something that I do every single day. It’s how I accomplish cleaning, cooking or running errands. I have used an Ergo with each of my Little’s and it’s because it’s my favorite “go-to” carrier. When the Baby Cubby reached out to me about testing out the Ergo 360, I couldn’t resist! I’ve never owned this carrier and I was excited to see the difference in it and a regular Ergo. At some point, your little is going to become fascinated with the world and want to constantly look around. This is when the Ergo 360 comes in handy! When your baby can hold his or her head…

    Everyday playroom session: confession of a SAHWM

    Nolan’s shirt | Harper’s shirt | pants | Scarlet Reese’s onsie In case you didn’t know, working at home with your kids is ridiculously hard. At the end of every single day, I am exhausted and amazed at all of the tasks I have accomplished.

Now that we are outnumbered by our children, this has become a number one priority to keep our relationship healthy.

    Staying hydrated with Healthy Human

    One of the first things that I changed about my diet when I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle was my water intake. I went from drinking sodas and sweet tea to consuming nothing but water. It’s important to consistently drink water because it helps keep you full and hydrated. People confuse hunger for thirst a lot. If we would just take the time to drink a few glasses of water before reaching for an unhealthy snack, it would save us a lot of unnecessary calories and pounds.

    ‘Food before one is just for fun’ with Amara Organics

    The world of baby food can be so confusing. More times than I can count, I see parents feeding their Little’s baby food or rice cereal before they are supposed to be ingesting anything other than breast milk or formula. Why is this? Among the top answers: moms said they thought their baby was old enough to start eating solids, their baby seemed hungry a lot of the time, believed their doctor or another health care professional said their baby should start eating solids. Giving your baby solid food too soon has been linked to a higher risk of obesity and diabetes, according to the study. Also, “starting infants on solids before 4 months…
