Before getting pregnant with Rosen, I had this ideal, that somehow I would get Bastian potty trained before the baby came. Because wouldn’t it be nice to only pay for diapers for one child? Bastian was just over two when Rosen was born, and I didn’t feel like getting him potty trained in the last […]

My Honest Review of the Owlet Cam
I know that I don’t usually do reviews. And I want to make sure it’s clear before I get into the review, that this is in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Owlet. I purchased the Owlet cam myself, and I wanted to give my honest experience with it! I had a hard time […]
What I’ve Learned About the Four Month Sleep Regression
One of my most popular blog posts to date is a post I wrote 2 ish years ago about the four month sleep regression. And I have learned so much since then. I’ve learned more about what causes the four month sleep regression, which I think helped us handle it a lot better the second […]
Establishing a Baby Nighttime Routine with OXO Tot
Something I learned early on with our first baby, is how important a bedtime routine is. It needs to be concise and clear. And it doesn’t need to be complicated! In fact, simple is better. It took me a lot longer with my second baby to establish a bedtime routine. Everything with the second baby […]

Holiday Gift Guide – For Your Toddler
Christmas shopping for a toddler is kinda hard. They can’t exactly tell you what they want, so you have to make educated guesses. Obviously there are a few things you know they’d like, but you have to gauge whether or not it’s a toy they’ll actually use and enjoy, and that can be hard to […]

Rosen’s Nursery
Because we were planning to move right after Rosen was born, we didn’t have a chance to get his nursery set up. It just didn’t make sense to set up an entire room that he wouldn’t even really be using, just to pack it up a few weeks later. AND since it’s not a room […]

Postpartum Capsule Wardrobe for Fall
Everyone knows that going through a big transition makes it kind of hard to dress your body. When you’re pregnant, you suddenly need to dress this growing bump. As soon as you get the hang of it, you have to relearn it all because it’s gotten bigger. Postpartum is no different. There is often a […]
Rosen’s Birth Story
Rosen’s birth was an entirely different experience than Bastian’s. Where Bastian’s birth was long and he was 8 days late, Rosen came much faster and earlier than expected. I had a lot of questions about our home birth experience, which you can also read about here to give more context to our birth story!
