Hello loves!
Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a great week! I am so ready for the long weekend! Both girls came down with the dreaded summer cold one after another! We are slowly on the mend now.This month has been so busy with birthdays, end of summer and I am planning to do preschool at home with Harlow this year because she is unable to go to preschool this year because she isn’t going poop on the potty yet. (TMI ?) Wanted to share where we are with potty training!
Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! I loved this long weekend with Nick off and we can just spend time together as a family of four! Harlow and Sutton love when daddy is home to play with them! Bath time is relaxing for us. A time for our girls to play together and wind down for bedtime. Sometimes we take baths during the day just for fun though! In the summer it seems we take baths more often from Harlow playing outside with dirt and rocks,then the copious amounts of sunscreen because I am so afraid of my kids burning. Oh yeah and the dreaded chlorine from swimming. We normally bathe the girls twice a week. In summer we bathe them around 3 times a week and always after swimming! Therefore dry skin is inevitable and a good shampoo/ detangler for Harlow is also on the top of the list! Below I listed our bath-time favorites we use!
Happy Tuesday babes! I took last week off from this series because I’ll be honest I forgot what day it was every day last week! Anyway back at it and today sharing with you all swimsuits for your kiddos Target style! My blogger babes that are also featuring a fun Target Tuesday post are my mama friends over @caffeinatedcurlsblog. I have two girls but for all my boy mamas out there I linked some super cute boys suits as well! Below I have sizing info and linked all my fav suits for easy shopping!
I thought I would share my 8 favorite baby must haves since Sutton is 8 months now! She is my second babe so I should be an expert right? Wish I could say that was true. Everyday I feel like a first time parent because each child is so different, therefore I have had to forgo what worked with Harlow and now do things that work for Sutton. However, products I listed are universally amazing for all babes, I just want to share what I have used from newborn til now, this time around that have been game changers!
Playing with my little girl is always an adventure. She turned 6 months three weeks ago and since then she has learned to roll over and is almost sitting on her own. She is eating solid foods once a day at dinner with all of us! Sutton has tried broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, banana and egg yolk. I have a specific sheet that tells me what foods to introduce to due babies tummies and how they digest food. If interested I will definitely blog about it! Sutton has been a low key go with the flow baby! She enjoys rolling around and trying to eat all of the books in her path.
Sleep is one word most people love to hear! Unless you’re a toddler then sleep is the worst word in the world! As new moms most of us prepare for sleepless nights and sometimes sleepless days if you have a baby that won’t nap. I was blessed when Harlow was born because she loved sleep and taking naps. Sutton is finally getting the hang of sleeping through the night! Thank goodness! Now if only I could get to bed at a decent time I wouldn’t be so tired in the morning. Sutton isn’t a fan of naps. She will sleep about 40 minutes maybe an hour twice a day if I am lucky! In this post I am sharing why I love the DockAtot and how I get Sutton to nap.
As a mama I wear comfortable clothing on the daily. I wear leggings pretty much everyday! Since having Sutton I have needed some core support! I am wearing core supported leggings from Blanqi! Now that I have these leggings I am going to say Blanqi is a lifesaver for all mamas! Blanqi collaborated with me on their high waist postpartum leggings.
I enjoy going for walks with my sweet babes but here in the midwest you never know what the weather will bring. I was thinking of buying a new winter maternity jacket because I thought it would be perfect for carrying Sutton outside. I love wearing Sutton but when it is cold I need to wrap her in a million blankets so she stays warm. Until I found Make My Belly Fit. Make my belly fit is a canadian based company that specializes in helpful tools to help you make it through the cold. Whether you are pregnant or postpartum.
The belly fit extender is a soft shell extender that expands your regular jacket for your growing belly or after for your baby! This extender is wind, rain, and snow resistant. I attached the zip adapters in order to fit my jacket! Depending on your jacket you may need the zip adapters! I say get them because then you are able to use the belly fit on all jackets that have a zipper of course 😉 Attaching the zip adapters took some time because I wasn’t exactly sure how to put them on so they matched up. Took a few attempts to get it! I also am wearing the extra warmth layer on the inside to keep Sutton cozy! This extra warmth layer snaps onto the belly fit extender. This whole bundle costs less than $100 which is amazing! It saves hundreds because you don’t have to get a maternity jacket! 
Much love,
Xo Jenna

Driving around with your baby in the middle of the day and that pesky sun gets in their eyes. It can be so hard with the car seat shade to block the sun completely!
Have you lost something in the bottom of the bag or think you did but just can’t find it? This has happened to me more times than I can count!
