Why white noise helps a baby sleep, with Whisbear review (This post contains affiliate links)
Have you ever googled “how to help a baby sleep” when experiencing many sleepless nights with your baby? It can be such a frustrating time for parents, especially when baby doesn’t fall asleep for a few hours at night each night. Turns out that using background noise, or white noise, can help babies fall asleep and stay asleep!
My four babies all had different routines before going to sleep, but the routines all seemed to work thanks to some sort of background or white noise. My oldest would have his last bottle and then need one of us in his room until he fell asleep as his mobile played music. My second would have her last bottle and then need to be rocked to sleep as her mobile played music or as I sang to her. My third baby needed to nurse before he fell asleep as his mobile played music. My fourth baby nursed as an infant and then went right to sleep, but as she got older she just liked to go in her crib with the sound of a space heater fan.
All of them, however, liked shushing, which is pretty close to the sound of white noise.
Here is why white noise helps a baby sleep: [Read more…]

When Did I Get Pregnant- Find out how to figure out when you conceived. (This post contains affiliate links)
Are you wondering, “When did I get pregnant?”? For some women, figuring out when they got pregnant is a must. They either want to know just for the sake of knowing, they want a different way to estimate a due date, or they want to determine who the father of their baby might be.
No matter what the reason, figuring out the possible date you may have gotten pregnant isn’t too difficult, but it is very important to note that it is just an estimation based on dates on a calendar. Unless you had a very tiny camera inside of you that could capture the exact moment the egg and sperm met, or you had medical help conceiving, there’s no real way (that I know of) to know your exact conception date.
For a very in-depth reading on finding out when you became pregnant, read this very informative article (written by me!). If you just want the very basics, continue below. [Read more…]
This post was developed in partnership with Similac. All opinions are my own. I received compensation in exchange for this post.
When warmer weather arrives, my family is constantly on-the-go. Between baseball games and practices, trips to parks, hikes, and more, we are very often out of the house, away from our stash of fruits and veggies. I like to pack snacks for the kiddos, but sometimes I have some trouble finding healthy snacks for toddlers that won’t spoil without a cooler while we’re out.
My one year old really likes pouches, so I try to get her some whenever possible so I have healthy snacks for her when we’re not home. The new Go & Grow by Similac Pouches are perfect for when we’re on-the-go! [Read more…]

Re-Play Review: Tableware Products (This post contains affiliate links.)
Don’t you love when your friends make awesome kid product recommendations? A friend of mine shared a Facebook post one day about Re-Play No-Spill cups and a current deal they were having to try one for free. At that point, I had never heard of the brand and since we’re always looking for new sippy cups to replace older ones, I took the plunge and ordered the cup.
When the cup came, it looked so simple. I mean, it was just a cup, a lid, and a valve with a replacement. The color was pretty, (I’m always drawn to aqua-colored things), but other than that, I couldn’t figure out what made these cups so special.
That is, until I did my research. [Read more…]
