Today, it’s a whole different story. Read on as I share how things have changed and how @Olay Total Effects SPF 15 is now a staple in my journey to healthier skin.
Introducing a Bottle To Baby Noa
Did your baby have challenges taking a bottle? You always hear so many different stories on this topic. Some babies just outright refuse it! I partnered with #MAM to test out their MAM Anti-Colic Bottle and guess what? It was a success! On the blog, I share some advice on giving a bottle and what we loved about MAM. Plus, now that Noa is willing to take a bottle of breast milk, my hubby feels much more involved and they can have their own bonding time too!
Don’t Let Anyone Rain On Your Parade
For the second year in a row, I’ve partnered with Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) on their “Excuses Campaign”.

Do you want to start a mom blog? I was on mat leave with Harper when I started blogging. Time flies! I never thought it would evolve to where it is today.

I just shared a blog post on starting a “mom blog” and some of the simple tips I’ve learned along the way. If you’re thinking about starting one, I’m hoping this post might help!
