Daylight Savings Baby Advice & Pamper

Daylight Savings Baby Advice

This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.

My little one was consistently sleeping through the night for a few weeks and now as the time-change approaches I have not had a full nights sleep in days! I find that Cami sleeps better when she is dry overnight. Pampers recently came out with a superior dry diaper that is designed for overnight and to stay dry over a 12 hour period. She has yet to sleep 12 hours for me, but it will be nice to know that the diaper will  hold up when she does. During time-change transitions such as End of Daylight Savings Time, Pampers Baby Dry Diapers has been helping smooth the transition.

Bumbo Floor Seat

Bumbo Floor Seat Review

Product provided for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own.

The Bumbo Floor Seat is perfect for my little Cami. She recently started to be able to hold up her head, but she cannot sit up on her own. The Bumbo is super light and is extremely easy to clean! Just wipe off anything that gets on it.  It extremely easy to travel with because it is so light! Cami does not love doing tummy time, but I still make her do it. I like using the Bumbo to strengthen her neck muscles.

Pet Scarf DIY

Every time my puppy, Harrison Ford goes to the groomer her comes back with a cute scarf. Since I have been doing his grooming lately, I decided to make a pet scarf DIY. For my baby shower, I bought a pink polka dot fabric quarter from Joann Fabric. I know he is boy puppy, but boys can wear pink too! He looks very manly in his pink polka dot scarf! We made him a camo printed one that he has been wearing non-stop as well. I cannot wait to match the babies outfits to Harrison’s bandanas. The ability to buy fabric in quarters makes it really easy to make a ton of these pet bandanas.

Baby Shower Favors

My belly is getting bigger by the day and we just had our baby shower last weekend. The gifts somehow made the her coming more immenient and real. The Baby Shower Favors were probably the most fun thing about the baby shower preparation. If you have already hosted a baby shower, you know how much work it is. My sister, Bobbie took care of almost everything and I asked the lovely people at The Village Stand to help me find some local goodies to use as Baby Shower Favors for my guests.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: My Harrison Ford

My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, Harrison Ford is my first child and I love him dearly. He is the cutest, sweetest, most loving dog that I have ever encountered. He wants nothing more than to be pet and loved by his mommy.

I am concerned that he is going to get jealous once the baby comes in July. He sleeps with every night in my nook, but he is already being put out of his sleeping spot because my nook no longer exists. My belly bump has taken over the nook spot and it is just too uncomfortable to sleep with him there right now.

Family Bonding Over Some Jackson Pollock

Family Bonding Over Some Jackson Pollock

The family that can make a mess together stays together. Having fun with your significant other is key to lasting relationships. In an effort to test my theory on relationships, I decided to ask my fiance to get involved with a little home DIY.  I am huge fan of Jackson Pollock ever since I saw one his paintings in person 15 years ago.  The splatters spoke to me in an very unexpected way. The chaos of the splatters made sense to me and the beauty was overwhelming.

Harrison Ford Sunning Himself

Harrison Ford is looking cuter than ever sunning himself in the backyard. Lately, he has been begging to go out and just sit in the sun. I think it is because the weather has been pretty mild and Harrison enjoys the warmth. He usually only wants to go out to sniff the world and relieve himself. This is an entirely new behavior that is just adorable.

Harrison Ford Goes for a Walk

Some parents like to take pictures of their children, and since I consider Harrison Ford my child, he is no exception. My hubby and I started taking pictures of my silver jeans, but we ended up focusing on The Ford. As Cavalier King Charles Spaniels go, I think Harrison Ford is the cutest one!

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are know for their adorable faces and loving demeanor. My dog Harrison Ford is no exception. In fact, his nick name is “The Face.” I just decided to take some picture of The Face for all of you. We recently did a video of Harrison drinking milk. Also, check out his cute little freckles. When we shave him, he has them all over. We just shaved him so stay tuned for some cute picture of his freckles.

Harrison Ford On His Back

Harrison Ford likes to have his belly pet. Here, he is getting a nice rub from his mommy.

We Named the DOG Harrison Ford

Whether Harrison Ford was playing Indiana Jones, Han Solo, or Dr. Richard Kimble, I was entranced by his charisma and wit.  All my friends had crushes on Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp.  They are both good looking guys, but  they are no Harrison Ford! Harrison’s smirk was enough to have me watching his movies until the VHS tapes stopped working. … Read more
