Before you know it Easter will be here and you'll be looking for easter basket ideas for toddlers that they'll actually like. Growing up I loved celebrating easter- from the easter egg hunts to the crafts, Easter was easily one of my favorite Holidays. And of course, the fact that a huge "Easter Bunny" dropped off a basket with all my favorite things in it made me love it even more. Last year we celebrated Sebastian's first easter, and although he was only 9 months old and didn't really understand what was going on, I still made him an easter basket. Putting together an easter basket for babies and toddlers can be overwhelming, so I wanted to put together this post to make ...
21 Incredible Toddler Boy Room Inspirations To Use
Now that Sebastian is 18months, I've been searching for toddler boy room inspirations on Pinterest trying to find what I wanted his "big boy" room to look like. When I was pregnant with Sebastian, I was obsessed with safari themed nurseries. I love safari animals and tropical jungles (I guess that's where my Brazilian side comes from- I love the Amazon!), so I incorporated it into all baby related events. My baby shower was safari, his announcement pic was of him wrapped in a jungle themed swaddle, his nursery is safari theme, and of course his first birthday was "Wild One" themed. I know, a little overboard. To be honest, I really didn't go all out for his nursery like I ...
What It’s Really Like Being a Mom During a Pandemic: From a Struggling Mom
It's no question that motherhood is hard but throw a pandemic in the equation and it just went from a 10 to a 3000. This post is super vulnerable, but I hope it lets other struggling mamas out there know they are not alone. When Covid-19 was officially announced as a pandemic, I honestly didn't understand the severity of it. If anything, I was happy to be able to work from home and be with my son all day. He was 9 months at the time and hadn't started walking yet, so I was glad to get the chance to witness his first steps myself instead of having daycare teachers tell me about it. The first month of quarantine was like a vacation on a private island- minus the 90 degree ...

Baby Items That Were A Waste Of Money: Year One
I want to start off this post by saying although these baby items were a waste of money for me, they may not be for you. I'm simply sharing items I wish I hadn't bought as a first time mom. One of the most exciting moments during pregnancy (at least for me) was creating a registry. I walked into Buy Buy Baby for the first time and was amazed at how many baby things I "needed". At the time I didn't have any help from family creating a baby registry, so I just started scanning everything. My situation was a little different than other's. I don't have much family around and I have very few friends- so I treated my baby registry as my shopping list. My baby registry was created when I was ...
