NewYearCleaningTips

Its extremely important to me to keep my house super clean, especially with having my 3 month old son.  Cleaning is endless when you have a baby, there’s no way around it.  Now we all know I don’t make New Year Resolution’s, but more or less practice what I preach daily.

Its so easy to get caught up with the ten thousand things that need to be done everyday.  Before we know it, there are loads of laundry to be done, bathrooms to clean, dishes to do, and floors to sweep and mop.  A while back I wrote a post on how to declutter and organize your home, but I didn’t touch on how to manage keeping a clean home in the post.

So here’s a few tips: Continue reading

I absolutely love brownies!  However, I usually just make them straight out of the box.  You know, just had a couple eggs, some water, oil, and presto instant brownies!  Well, I’ve always wanted to make homemade brownies, but heard that they were a hassle to make.  I can’t remember where I heard that at, but I’m pretty sure it was someone on Food Network, like Sandra Lee.  The truth:  Brownies, homemade that is, are super easy to make!

Why You May Experience Low Milk Supply

WhyYouMayExperienceMilk supply is something I’m always concerned with since my son is exclusively breastfed.  I’ve heard the horror stories from many woman who say they have a low milk supply.  Sometimes the supply is believed, or found to be so low that it doesn’t provide the necessary nutrition for their babies to grow and thrive.  I never wanted this to be the case with me, so I did plenty of research early on.  In addition, I (as well as my husband) went to many breastfeeding classes and consulted lactation consultants before and after the birth of our son.

Freebie Friday | Kisses & Hugs Valentine’s Day Printable

XOXOPrintable

Its Freebie Friday again and I’m back with a lovely Valentine’s Day Printable.  Can you believe the day of love is just about a month away?!  The year just started and already time’s flying.  These festive printables can be used for a plethora of things, such as added to giftbags, goodie bags, and use as décor for party planning, or even affix to objects to make more festive.

You could also laminate the labels and use a double stick tape to affix the printables to whatever object you are using.  I strongly recommend laminating, because it will ensure durability.  It will also allow you to switch out the printables to put on other objects or to use again in the future if you plan on saving them.
