    Sweet Sugar Thanks to Playtex

                Oh man, I cannot believe that my sweet Mercy girl is 14 weeks old now! She is growing by leaps and bounds and everyday she does something new. I am exclusively breastfeeding her but I try really hard to not let her fall asleep while nursing. I don’t want her to become dependent on falling asleep ONLY with me verses if Derrek is home and trying to get her to sleep.

One of the things that I can count on from my children is hearing, “I am thirsty.” The most frequent times I hear this is when we are in the car, out for a walk or before bedtime. Y’all, it never fails for any one of them to ask for water during those times. As the years have gone by, I’ve just come to an understanding with myself, not to get frustrated but to have a solution. Enter Healthy Human. This brand makes stainless steel cups that…

    The Best Part of Waking Up is Coffee In Your Cup

    This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I post about coffee so much, you’d never guess that I NEVER drank it until after I had Scarlet Reese. I used to think that it was so nasty and I refused it anytime it was offered. Now, I find myself struggling to keep up with my day unless I have a cup. I’ve tried my hand at using my French press and combining things to make my own concoction but I never have the time to do all of that anymore. I recently found out that…
