Ergo-dynamic Nursing Pillow
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. Breastfeeding has been the most intense and amazing journey that I have ever been on! With each child, you would think it gets easier but each baby is so different! This is a subject that I get asked about constantly from my readers and followers. Although, I am not a lactation consultant, I can share my personal experience with breastfeeding three children and what has worked and not worked for us. Nolan breastfed like a champ, Harper took some time to get her latch right and Scarlet Reese is a toss…

Happy Holidays with Minted
I feel like this past year has been so amazing. So many great things have happened for our little family and it makes me excited as I reflect on 2016. We traveled a few places, spent lots of time with family, made new memories and welcomed a sweet little girl into our lives. As I sit down to address our Christmas cards from Minted, it warms my soul to the core. I haven’t had the easiest life and sometimes I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. When I look at the pictures on our card, I am reminded at how blessed I really am. Making…

Fall Family Pictures
I explored past posts on my blog the other day and even took a stroll down my “meet Amanda” page. It needed some updating so I decided that there is no better time than now to do so! So much has happened in the last almost two years since I began blogging. We’ve traveled, grown our businesses and welcomed a another little one to our tribe. I’ve grown as a person, mom, wife and friend during that time as well. I cannot believe that just two years ago this was all a dream and not yet formed. Every single day, I learn something new and I love being able to…

The Perfect Bottle with Munchkin
This blog has been compensated by Munchkin and I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. August is Breast Feeding Awareness Month, so I wanted to share a little bit of what makes breastfeeding and bottle-feeding easier in my life. With Scarlet being my third baby and this being my third time breastfeeding, I knew that I would have to prepare myself for engorgement during the first few weeks. Thankfully, I purchased a breast pump with the gift cards from my baby sprinkle and have stored a pretty impressive milk stash in the fridge. One of the things that Nolan…

Sunday Funday at Carolina Roadhouse
This past weekend, Scarlet Reese turned two weeks old! It’s hard to believe that it has been two weeks she since entered our lives, we love life with her! I haven’t really ventured away from home since she was born and I was hit with a case of cabin fever. We decided to make a quick family trip to the beach to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Carolina Roadhouse, so I could get out of the house for a little bit and we could all enjoy some good food! Before we had kids, Derrek and I used to go there on dates and now as a family, we…
