Thank you Baby Dove for sponsoring this post. When my first son, Fox, was a baby it was painfully obvious that he had sensitive skin. From the day he was born we battled with redness and dry, flaky skin, but as soon as he began taking baths it grew exponentially worse. His pediatrician recommended bathing him less (a.k.a. only when he was stinky or dirty) but elongating the time between baths became less of an option with summertime romps in…
I’ve attended plenty of baby showers in my life and the gift pile always looks similar from party to party. Onesies, diaper pails, and breastfeeding pillows fill the tables. As each gift is unwrapped…
A few weekends back I hit the thrift stores with my mom. We were on the lookout for some unique decor for the nursery, something I’d struggled with finding. Charlie’s room is a…
I hate to admit it, but Fox had never really slept in his bed until recently. I’d tried just about everything from Dockatot shifting, “big boy” bed with his original crib mattress, new bedding,…
When I moved back to Buffalo in 2018, I felt like I was learning my city all over again. Not only was I showing my California-born and raised husband the 716 ropes, but a…
When we moved back to Buffalo we decided to look into renting rather than owning a home. Tyler is not from the area and I wanted to make sure he was happy in whatever…
We’ve somehow managed to turn the Family Room to the Playroom, the Living Room to the Family Room, Fox’s Room to the Nursery, and the Nursery to Fox’s room in 3 weeks flat. It’s been…
Around the time that the Rock ‘n Play recall occurred, my youngest son Charlie was about 2 months old. Charlie does not like to be flat on his back at all which posed a…
Even though we’ve had a lot of major changes around here lately (new city, new baby) everything else has pretty much stayed the same. I stay home with Charlie all day and have quickly…
Around Christmas I asked my husband to pop on over to my blog and spotlight some of his favorite things I’ve ever gifted him. With Father’s Day coming up we’re doing it again, but…
After the snow thawed this spring, I took a look at our yard and winced. I am lucky enough to live on a beautifully landscaped street, but ours needed serious help. With the rain…
Tyler and I don’t get out enough for date nights. I think sometimes we are both so tired from the chaos of the kids, work, and general life responsibilities that we fall into staying…
Our family recently had the opportunity to preview the new Explore & More Museum at Buffalo’s Canalside where we dug deeper into the history of Buffalo and used our creative minds to build and…
I hope every enjoyed their long weekend! We’ve been working like crazy around the house redoing a few rooms and since the thrift shops were all 1/2 off for the holiday, I spent quite…
A couple of years ago I started seeing beauty vloggers post videos of themselves brushing their teeth with charcoal. When they rinsed their mouths after brushing, they claimed that their teeth were starting to…
