Decorview Window Treatments

This post was created in partnership with eAccountable. All opinions are my own.

Window treatments are a crucial purchase in your home. It took me forever to choose the right one for my home. It is especially important when you have a room with a view.  According to Decorview, “you want to make sure that what you choose adds to the beauty beyond your four walls, rather than blocking or invading it.” – See more at:http://www.decorview.com/blog/silhouette-room-view#sthash.dQ5QDJDg.dpuf  You want to make sure that what you choose adds to the beauty beyond your four walls, rather than blocking or invading it.

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.

The Mother of All Baby Showers

I attended The Mother of All Baby Showers a few weeks ago and had a blast checking out all the new brands and new goodies from the old brands. Cami is an infant, and I love finding good stuff that will help her learn and play. Also, I love finding ways to keep her safe that never occurred to me. Like the bumpers that go around the individual bars. They are called Wonder Bumpers! I am serious considering getting a set for Cami’s crib.

New Fash: Canon Speedlite 430EXII

New Fash: Canon Speedlite 430EXII

I was sick of waiting for my off-brand camera flash to finish charge in-between photos. The flash we were using was cheap, but my husband argued that all flashes were relatively the same. He’s a film guy and never had much use for strobe lighting. Of course, I was right!. My husband did the leg work on researching the best price and quality flashes. We shoot on a Canon, so we wanted a good flash that would communicate with my camera. He started looking at the big brother of the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, the Canon 580EXII, but felt that it was more money than we were willing to spend. We decided to step down to the Canon Speedlite 430EXII, feeling comfortable with both the price and all the positive reviews.

Macy’s Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

I am a member of the Everywhere Society and was provided compensation for this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Macy’s and Vanidades put together an event at Macy’s Miami International in Miami, Florida where the first 200 customer got to get their pictures taken with Dora the Explorer’s friend Diego. I was lucky enough to attend the event and be a part of the festivities. Macy’s put together an amazing event with that was a huge hit.

Priceless Date Night #PricelessMiami #MC

Disclosure

Since the baby was born 2 months ago, my husband and I have been making a concentrated effort to get out the house and do a date night every week. Of course, during the first few weeks after birth that didn’t happen. We were far too sleep-deprived to go anywhere! Now that the baby is sleeping more, I have been planning a weekly date night. This week I found a great deal on dinner through the MasterCard Priceless website. MasterCard is working with Miami Spice from August 1st – September 30th, offering three-course meals featuring signature dishes created by world-renowned chefs. The dinners are $39 per person. Of course, this price is far below what you would normally spend at these restaurants. The deal made it easy for my hubby and I to try an expensive restaurant without spending a fortune. After all, we now have a baby at home to consider.

Cute Birth Announcements

I am officially announcing my child’s birth to my readers and to my friends and family! These days people announce this sort of thing on Facebook or even twitter. I am a huge fan of announcing monumental events, like having a child to my close friends and family via a traditional avenue using birth announcements.

I prefer mailing birth announcements to only announcing on Facebook for several reasons:

1. Not all my friends and family are on social media. I want everyone to hear the good news not just my friends and few family members that are on Facebook!
2. I want my friends and family to have physical pictures of my daughter to frame or put on their fridge. I keep out photo Christmas cards, photo baby announcements, and wedding save the dates on my fridge for a while. I love looking at happy moments in my friends’ and family’s lives.
3.  I love receiving mail and I suspect other people do too!  Everyday, I get the mail in the hopes that there will something fun besides bill and advertisements in it. Sometimes it is a magazine or a package, but other times it is a picture card from a friend or family. I adore all of it!

Baby Bath Time Video

As a new parent, I want to capture every moment of my child’s life perfectly so that I can look back at it when she’s older. It is painful to think about her getting older because she is my little girl. Of course, I want her to grow up, but I want to protect her from the world. She is beyond innocent now and I would love to be able to keep it that way. I realize that is not reality, but a mom can dream!

September is here already! I cannot believe that summer is nearly over and my daughter is almost 2 months old! People always say that time flies and it has been flying for me!

Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. They believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer for these children.
