american cancer society

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the American Cancer Society. Like many of you, my life has been impacted by cancer in many ways. When I think about how many people I know who have had cancer it's sort of mind boggling. Many of them have beaten cancer, some of them have beaten it twice. Others, have not been so lucky and have lost the battle. Growing up I had a friend … [Read more...]

A place to nap for Edison from Summer Infant!

rest up 1

Right after Edison was born (like right after, I think I was home for about 36 hours) I received an email from my friends at Summer Infant asking if I wanted to try out their new Resting Up™ Napper. Since I'm all about places to safely keep my baby, I was happy to say YES! As I type this post, Edison is happily chilling in the Resting Up™ Napper. He's hiccuping and cooing away, and I love … [Read more...]

pump 2

As part of my Philips AVENT ambassadorship, I received the  Philips AVENT Double Electric Comfort Pump. I'm pretty excited because it means I JUST might get to go on a DATE with my husband. ALONE. Without the kids. Almost unheard of. After two NICU babies, I've done a lot of pumping. Both with hospital grade pumps and "regular ol breast pumps" I've even used both single electric and manual … [Read more...]

Princess time: Sofia the First

Sofia the First Disney … [Read more...]

A safe ride for Edison: the Britax Chaperone infant car seat

infant car seat

In 2010, when we needed to choose an infant car seat to bring home Quincy, we selected the Britax Chaperone. With safety features like the anti-rebound bar and true side impact protection, not to mention previous experience with the Britax brand, it was an easy choice for us. Luckily, Britax sent us a new Chaperone to use for Edison so he could be just like his big sister when she came home two … [Read more...]
