    Things I’ve Learned during Pregnancy

    As I sit in my hospital bed gazing at our new baby girl it got me thinking of things I’ve learned during my pregnancy because I can’t believe 96 hours ago there was a baby inside me and now I’m holding her. 1. Hire that house cleaner: we did one deep clean and I felt so much lighter. I couldn’t have been more happy! You deserve it too. You’ve been creating human life for the last ten months. 2. Don’t have a baby shower past 32 weeks in my opinion: you are not going to want to to build or organize anything in the last few weeks so do yourself…

    Picky Eater Food Toppers

    Charlie is such a picky eater. He has been since the day we brought him home. At one point he would only eat food if we took it out of his bowl and scattered it on the floor. It seems many of you also suffer with picky eaters. So here is my list of tried and true meal toppers we have used through the years. 1. Open Farm Bone broth: Bone broth is a great topper and Charlie loves it. Only downside is it has to be eaten right away or else it gets soggy. So if Charlie decides he doesn’t want to eat when we add it it’s game…

    Easy and Cheap Dog Costumes

    Some people plan Halloween Costumes in September and some people don’t. If you are not crafty and a procrastinator (like me), I rounded up some cheap easy dog costumes for you! Most are from Target since Target rules, but you truly cannot get easier than these! Most are $10 too because let’s be real our dogs don’t need $50 costumes to immediately destroy and dirty. I found all hoodie one piece options because I like simple. We have the pumpkin hoodie and it is so comical. I love it! Tag me in your photos if you end up with any of these. Links below!
