Babies, like the tiny humans they are, are all different. Kolten wanted his thumb and mommy, never creating an attachment to any one particular thing. Malachi however, loves his Aiden Blankets and always chews on his pacifier strap. This gave me the idea for make a sensory blanket for babies. My sensory blanket for babies needed to include all of Malachi’s favorites. So I found some muslin (it was a crib sheet big enough to make two blankies and cheaper […]

Toddler Essentials for On-The-Go
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
“Toddler Essentials for On-The-Go was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” Are you on-the-go with a toddler? Even though I’m now a stay at home mom, it still seems like we are always going somewhere. Unlike my working days where I had a huge bag with 8+ hours worth of supplies for my little one, I’m not very prepared at all anymore. Really, a toddler doesn’t need much, […]
Thoughtless Parenting Advice – The Worst
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
As a parent, I get lots of advice. Most of it is good, some of it is annoying, and some is downright strange (seriously this is my favorite as I enjoy a good laugh!). But in my opinion, the worst kind is thoughtless parenting advice. By this I mean the glib, tip of the tongue responses people tend to spout off for certain circumstances. It’s not bad advice, but it’s something we moms are already aware of and quite frankly […]
Pride Kept Me From Having Babies +Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
We were married 5 years before getting pregnant. This was by choice. Looking back I can see how pride kept me from having babies before we did. When we got married, I took my small savings and paid off Jason’s truck. You could say we started at square one in financial terms. Without government help there was no possible way to live on Jason’s income. He had a good job and he worked hard, his income paid our bills with nothing left […]

Ready for some first birthday party fun? I am now the momma of a one year old! Still a little hard to believe it’s been an entire year since little man first made his appearance. His birthday was Monday, but the celebration was on Sunday. We weren’t going to do a party since he will never remember it anyway. However we changed our minds and decided a party was most definitely the best way to celebrate a child turning 1. […]

With Mother’s day just around the corner, and I mean JUST around the corner! It is high time I put together a Mother’s day gift for my mom.

Just My Son and I

It was a busy day. I didn’t have to go to work that day, but still got up at 6:30 to get started on my chores. The to-do list was a mile long. Food needed prepared so we could eat. Laundry needed washed so we wouldn’t need to wear dirty clothes. And the house needed cleaned because one can only take so much dirt, mud, dust and cat hair. So I worked. It was just my son and I in […]

Dear formula feeding mommy, you see the look I give you, before sitting down with my baby and giving him my breast. I know you feel judged, but was my look judging or jealous? Dear Formula Feeding Mommy, Was I Judging or Jealous?

Baby shoes… We love them and we hate them. Clearly baby hates them because he always manages to kick them off. Most of them that is. I found soft soled leather baby shoes on an Etsy shop called Ebooba, and THEY stay on! The selection is unbelievable. There are 66 different designs to choose from and sizes range from infant to 3 years (6″ long). These soft soled leather baby shoes are made by a daddy in Ukraine. He started […]
Seasons ~30 Days of Thanksgiving day 9 + linkup

Originally this title was to be change. However I decided that seasons would be a better fit. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. Seasons mark the passing of time. I was doing a bit of searching for the word “season” in the bible and It seemed in many cases to be used synonymously with the word time. Our lives have many seasons, and throughout those different seasons, we […]
How I stay Organized While on the Go

Kolton and I leave the house for 8 or more hours everyday during the week. That means packing a ridiculous amount of stuff into my diaper bag each day and people have wondered how I stay organized while on the go. And if you think for a minute that it’s not necessary to pack 3 outfits, that’s the day that he will wet out, spit up and have a blow out, each on a clean outfit. It has happened. 😐 […]

It’s the bane of any mommy’s existence. Especially if the baby has dark hair. I’m talking about that scaly, white flaky stuff that shows up on baby’s head. Cradle Cap. I wanted to share my natural treatment for cradle cap today. Little k ended up with it by 4 weeks and it took me awhile to figure out how to get rid of his cradle cap without those chemical laden baby shampoos. I may be wrong, and I would love […]
