Ever since I had a baby, Mother’s Day became one of my favorite holidays. It’s that one day when all our hard work and sacrifices as moms are appreciated and recognized, so I’ve been really looking forward to it! Last year’s Mother’s Day was extra special for me simply because it was my first! At …
Iโve never really given much thought about baby wipes. Theyโre all the same right? Theyโre basically just wet or moist towelettes that you use to clean your babyโs poop. If I see a pack of wipes and and I feel that they will do the job just fine, that was good enough for me. That …
Mike recently asked me a thought-provoking question: โHad you known that it would be easy for you to have a baby, would you have waited longer to have one?โ I paused only for a short time to think of an answer but I immediately said with conviction, โNo. I think Andi came at the perfect …
When I was pregnant with Andi, one of my favorite places to shop was Baby Company. Every time I was there, my eyes would light up in excitement!

One thing’s for sure: when that time comes, you don’t want to be frazzled and stressed out because you …
In my early stages of pregnancy, I kept hearing the term ‘birth plan’ from other moms and moms-to-be. Wait, there’s a plan??? I thought you were just meant to show up at the hospital when your water breaks, pop out the baby, and boom! All done! I found out that a birth plan is a …
Our Fluffy Space Princess is so blessed to have not just one but TWO baby showers! Actually, thatโs two baby showers and one celebratory dinner with Mikeโs family, all to commemorate the coming of this little lady whoโs already so special even if she hasnโt even come out yet! My sister Alexa threw us a …
A few weeks after our gender reveal with our family, my sister Alexa sent me a Viber message while Mike and I were strolling around the mall. She asked me if I was going to have a baby shower, to which I replied, โIt depends. If someone throws me one!โ She then asked, โCan I …
