Disclosure: This post brought to you by La Millou. I've learned over the years that one product I can not be with out with a new baby is a good nursing pillow. There are about a billion different brands and options out there so sometimes finding the perfect one can be hard. For me, the perfect pillow can be used for more than just nursing. It can be used for sleeping, playing, lounging and the occasional laptop prop. Grandma Dana’s Hen Pillow by La Millou fills all those needs, and more.The Hen is the first multifunctional pillow that I have owned that isn't an eye sore, and I've nursed four children. … [Read more...]

Disclosure: The Primrose Deluxe 2-in-1 Crib Mattress featured below was sent compliments of Greenbuds. I have worked very hard to remove chemicals from our home in the last few years.

Disclosure: The Near and Dear Baby Bather featured below was sent compliments of Angelcare. A few years ago, I had two back surgeries in two years.

Trying to get my family to stay active has proven to be quite hard over the years and now that we are fulltime RV'ers with out the ability to belong to a gym it feels impossible.

This year I'm trying something … [Read more...]
