True Story

Being a Mom is everything you thought and heard it would be...and then some.  

I fall asleep on my bus commute into work just about every day, only to wake myself with my own loud snores...no shame in this game.  Lets be real, I also fall asleep on the way home...I have to set an alarm to wake up so I don't miss my stop.  

Putting my little one to bed almost always puts me to sleep too...whoops!  But last night I snuggled him close, gave him kisses and told him how much I loved him. Then, out loud, I thanked God for letting me be his Momma.  

He runs me ragged, and I'm often not my "best self"...but I'm SO HAPPY!

That said, it's only fair that I warn the general public..I'm a Mombie.

I'm even toying with ordering 5 of these t-shirts so I have a clean one to wear Monday through Friday...my co-workers need to be warned!  

Happy Shopping Mommas!

A Woman's Place Is In...

The White House!  Or at least it should be.

Every little girl should have this pillow in her room.  It would make a great baby shower gift for someone expecting a little girl!  Send your daughters off to college with this pillow for her dorm room...are you getting the drift?

$55

Now, not every woman is cut out to be President...but it's time we start letting the idea be more than just okay for a little girl to say and then grow out of...women need to believe this can and will be possible!

Also, it's made in the USA...AWESOME!!!

Toys That Rock

Literally!  

Finding quality, educational, functional and cute toys for our little one can be a challenge. There's just so much out there and the last thing new parents need is clutter.

This rocking owl stacker from Skip*Hop is AMAZING! It helps your baby practice motor skills and develop hand-eye coordination...it rocks (literally)...has textured rubber wings for teething (BPA-free, PVC-free & Phthalate-free)...it's a stacker and a musical shaker!

Oh, and it's pretty stinkin' cute too!  Available here...HAPPY SHOPPING!

Shark Attack

Back in my PR days I gained a lot of knowledge on baby gear as the firm I was working for represented quite a few baby clients.  In best representing your clients you must know your competitors...and I'm glad I got to know  Skip*Hop.

As a Mom now, I LOVE them...I'm obsessed really.  And with all things I love, I need to share that love with anyone and everyone because these things make me happy...and I want everyone to feel that way when they spend their hard earned cash...HAPPY! 

My little one isn't even half way to his first Birthday...but my husband and I have already decided to have a shark theme party for him.  So you can see why these zoo on-the-go and zoo feeding items will make the perfect first Birthday gifts!  

Love what you see?  Skip*Hop has even more zoo friends for your little ones...check them out!

Lil' Bandit

Fashion and function just got together and had a baby! 

I knew I had to have bandana bibs for my baby when I found out I was pregnant, but after getting the necessary items along with being all adult and saving for hospital bills they just weren't in the budget. 

Thankfully I have a rad sister in law that knows what's up...she gave this 4 pack to Dante for his first Christmas. 

Matimati Baby Bandana Drool Bibs
$24.75

So naturally I had to have more of these great bibs once I discovered my other bibs were so inferior.  You see the other bibs I had draped too low leaving Dante's clothes soaked with drool just under his chin, but worse...the ones with Velcro left his little cheeks with tiny scratches!!!  It's hard enough to cut those little razor blades he calls "nails" to keep him from scratching himself...I don't need the double whammy that Velcro provides! 

Matimati Baby Bandana Drool Bibs
$24.75

Not quite sold?  They feature a double snap to adjust for different size necks...or to grow along with your little one.  They dry SUPER fast.  And...well...they're super cute too!

Happy Shopping!
