As a parent, you’re always worrying about your child. How they eat. How they sleep. Also, how they play. Are they developing at the right pace? It’s a question you will frequently ask yourself! So, having age-appropriate toys they can play with is important. You’ll want to pick toys that help with their development and growth that are also made with safety in mind. But, you don’t need a ton of toys. Having just a handful or two is perfectly fine. So, today I’m sharing a roundup of the 10 best baby toys 0-6 months. Everett tested. Everett approved!

It took us a little over a year, but Everett’s stars and moon theme nursery is finally done! What I love most about this space is how calming it is. The area where he plays has lots of bright, colorful toys. So, it was so important to me to keep this space as soothing as possible to help with waking up peacefully and winding down quietly at the end of each day. To settle on the theme, I scoured Pinterest for neutral baby bedroom ideas. Once we settled on the stars and moon theme, I created a mood board of different furniture and decor that I loved and wanted to use to fill the space. Some of i ..read more

Now that Everett is a year old, I’m having such a fun time picking out his Christmas gifts and figuring out holiday gift ideas for friends and family. Since I’m doing all this research on the best options for wooden activity cubes and all things Fisher-Price and LeapFrog, I figured I’d put it to use for you all too. With his birthday just a month ago, we received a handful of very cool baby toys. So, I also have real-time feedback on what he enjoys playing with that your kiddos or friends babies may love too. Keep reading for my list of best holiday gifts for babies and toddlers. JavaScript is ..read more

This year the Cyber Sales started so early, it was hard to get a handle on all the deals happening. There are still a few weeks before Christmas, so I thought I’d share a 2023 holiday gift guide – my wishlist, to help you with gift ideas. Each year I like to ask for one splurge item, like this Ulla Johnson dress, that I’ll wear for fun events in the coming year. I’ve also been on a major kick for anything in the color brown. These ballerina flats by Loeffler Randal had sold out and were miraculously restocked on Black Friday! So, I scooped them up (Merry Christmas to me!). It’s also the perfec ..read more

Recently I took a quick trip to London for business and had 24-hours to explore the city on my own. Since I haven’t been to the UK since 2006, quite a bit has changed! But, the city was so lovely. I lucked out with blue skies and wonderful weather. So, I took advantage and popped around to a few neighborhoods. I’ve rounded up a handful of the most Instagrammable spots in London for you if you’re planning a trip.

After dressing Everett for almost the last year, I’ve found that not all baby clothes are created equal. More specifically, finding cute baby boy clothes is far harder compared to the abundance of adorable clothes for baby girls. But, we have a handful of brands that we’ve come to love and buy regularly, including Angel Dear. I first discovered this high-end kids wear brand in a gift my sister-in-law sent when we announced our pregnancy. Inside was a newborn 2 way zipper footie in the cutest star and moon print. Made from a soft and stretchy bamboo viscose, it quickly became a favorite once ba ..read more

We’re recently back from our first family vacation and I can’t stop scrolling through all the pictures of hanging in the pool and at the beach in 30A. It’s our second trip to the Blue Mountain Beach area and I’ll share all the details of where we stayed and what we did soon. Making core memories as a family is something that we’ve been dreaming of for years. Everett may have hated the sand, but it was worth the trip! One thing I’ve known I’d pack for a few months is matching family swimsuits. Sure, maybe it’s a little corny. But, it’s also a really fun experience you’ll all remember from the v ..read more

What did we do before Spanx? I was in high school when the brand launched more than 20 years ago. So, the timing couldn’t have been better aligned to my formative years of wearing bodycon dresses to pretty much everything (*cringe*). Founded by Sara Blakely in 1998, they’ve established themselves as a pop culture phenomenon that changed undergarments. But, they’re so much more than that now with an expanded line of products that are available in more than 50 countries. From the cult classic Spanx faux leather leggings to their now coveted Spanx Air Essentials collection, they offer loungewear ..read more

When it comes to women and our hair, we’ll try a lot of things that save us time and keep our manes looking beautiful. Since becoming a new mom, my time has become so precious and I’ve been on the lookout for tools that help me get more efficient with my hair and beauty routine. Enter the Aquis Flip Hair Towel. Every morning (or every other morning and now sometimes every few days as time allows), I shower and put my hair in a towel to dry. It works, but regular towels leads to frizz and breakage. Not with the Flip. It’s clinically proven to strengthen hair while it dries and makes it more eve ..read more

The second part of my #Nsale order came in, so I thought I’d do a quick try-on haul for you. Like I mentioned in my first post for my Nordstrom sale try-on haul, I shopped the sale for specific items this year. Normally, I lean more towards the designer pieces and I did get a few of those this year (more in the form of accessories like these Celine sunglasses and these sneakers). But, this year I needed some new basics, like these cozy pajamas and these flattering $45 jeans). The sale still includes it’s favorites like the Barefoot Dreams cardigan and the throw blanket. I just personally didn ..read more
