Sage French Cafe

I recently met up with fellow fashionista and blogger, Aileen of Newsy Parents at Sage French Cafe in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sage has a french winery interior with dark wood, exposed bricks and cranberry red accents. It reminded me of days gone by, when I spent the majority of my time studying in a french cafe in Miami. The French Cafe that I spent so much time in has closed. Since then, I have been searching for French Cafe to replace my old favorite. Sage French Cafe & Wine Bar fits the bill perfectly!

Spread the Love with Valentine’s Day Cards

Spread the Love with Valentine’s Day Cards

It is time to spread the love with Valentine’s Cards! I have chosen to spread the love with my close friends and family this year by sending out Tiny Prints Valentine’s Day card with my daughter’s photos from her first 6 months of life. I have become a professional baby photographer since I gave birth because I take photos of her everyday! Forget about those month photos that people are taking, I am doing everyday with either my professional Canon camera or my iPhone. Here are some of my favorite Tiny Prints Cards to send to friends and family this year:

I am a member of Bloggin’ Mamas. This shop has been compensated in affiliation with Munchkin Fun Celebration. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

As you guys know, I am new to this whole mom thing and am learning something new everyday. Most of my friends either do not have kids or have babies the same age as my daughter. I am constantly crowd sourcing questions on Facebook in the hopes of finding someone who can point me in the right direction for things like swimming lessons and party venues. With Pinterest, I am have zillion ideas for planning my daughter’s first birthday, but have no idea where to start locally. I discovered Munchkin Fun Celebrations through The Bloggin’ Mamas.

Walgreens Pharmacy Chat

Last week, I was starving and I ordered pizza and canolli from an app on my phone. I was also not feeling great and decided to try out another convenience app from Walgreens that provides pharmacy chat that allows you to chat with a pharmacist without having to go to the pharmacy. It is a great way to skip lines and avoid other sick people so that I can spend as much healthy time with my daughter as possible.

Chicco Natural Fit Feeding & Soothing System

Chicco Natural Fit Feeding & Soothing System Review 

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Chicco. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating.

Chicco recently release a Natural Fit Feeding & Soothing System includes 3 stages of bottles, orthodontic pacifiers, and teethers. My daughter has Chicco car seat that we love and I was excited to try out something new from the Italian brand. We received a 4 orthodontic pacifiers and 4 different stages of bottle to review and have been having a blast using them with my daughter. I had no problem getting my daughter to take the Chicco bottles. We’ve had some issues with other bottles so I was happy to see that she was fond of these. You can purchase the bottles in stores at buybuy BABY. I have a secret for saving serious cash at buybuy BABY! You can use unexpired Bed Bath and Beyond coupons in store at buybuy BABY! They are sister companies, hence both being BBB. 🙂 The bottles will available online by the end of the month!
