The fog is lifting!

Happy New Year!

I know, I know - it's already the end of February.

This whole mom thing isn't easy. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but for some reason, I didn't think it would be this hard. Don't get me wrong, having my daughter has been the biggest blessing in my life! She has changed our world, and has made it so much better. Her smiles and laughter get me through each day.

There is so much more planning involved with just getting out of the house (which we need to do more often). Are we leaving near a nap time, meal time, or fussy time? Is there a place where I can nurse her (I really need to figure out how to use my NuRoo Nursing scarf)? How presentable do I really need to look? Is there anything that I'm shopping for that I can't just buy using Amazon Prime?

It is getting easier, though. Those first few months are still somewhat blurry, but that's okay. Once my girl started getting to be more mobile, things got easier. She's not sleeping through the night, and I'm still a human pacifier, but this is just a season.

She is going to be 8 months next week. EIGHT MONTHS OLD. Time is literally flying. It's different when I say that as a mom. though. This little person is growing before our eyes. Every day she is learning new things and discovering the world around her. We've been able to document all those milestones, and while they have happened recently, they still seems so far away.

She is my constant reminder to enjoy the present.

Enjoy today,
and I promise I'll be updating regularly!

Review - Suzanne - Trusst Lingerie

I love this bra! One sentence isn't enough to sum up how great this bra is, but in all honesty, it's that good. While at Curvy Con earlier this month, as a platinum ticket holder, I was given a Trusst bra. With what I know now, I feel like that would've been enough to be the only incentive for being a platinum ticket holder. Suzanne ($88) Jessica ($98) Marjory ($82) I'm not sure about other women, but I have a hard time finding a bra that really supports me, and is also comfortable. With this Suzanne bra, I don't feel like I have to take it off the second I get home! I'm completely comfortable wearing it 12+ hours a day. On top of that, even after the 12 hours, it is still as supportive as when I first put it on! The straps don't dig in to my shoulders, the band fits comfortably, and the padding isn't overwhelming (Do you ever put on

4moms - Spout Cover

I just got this in the mail! I can't wait to try it out soon. I'll update this post once I get it all set-up. **UPDATE** I love this product! I'm definitely one of those people that love super hot showers/baths, and when I think something is cold, others might think it's hot. This temperature spout cover is a lifesaver! I don't have to worry about the water being too hot when I make my baby girl's bath. It's easy to install (and you only need a couple batteries), and crazy easy to understand. If the water is too hot, it start beeping loudly and the screen starts flashing red. The screens give you an exact reading of the temperature too. I know 4Moms makes an actual baby tub as well, but I opted for the spout because I had a baby tub already (I love hand-me-downs!). I highly recommend this product for all moms, but especially those of us that can handle heat a bit too well. :) Blue: When you first turn the unit on, and when the

Review - StorkSak Travel Duffle Bag

This is the weekend bag that tops all other weekend bags. I've used this bag on flights, train rides, and road trips, and I'm still amazed at how much I can fit into it. It keeps everything nice an organized too, which I love! I was not able to fit it in the overhead bin on the airplane I was on (it was a smaller plane), but it fit perfectly under the seat in front of me. It fit great in the overhead storage on my Amtrak train as well. It is so versatile too. The hanging organizer was a lifesaver on my last trip to NYC. I was sharing a room with two other girls, and there wasn't a ton of counter space in the bathroom. I was able to hang the organizer on one of the towel racks to keep all my toiletries together and out of the way! You can tell right away that this duffle was made with quality and for durability. The leather trim accents are beautiful. StorkSak even included straps on outside of the bag to hold your jacket! They made sure to create a trave
