Baby Wearing- Marmee's Ways

     Being pregnant and trying to imagine carrying around more than my big tummy along with a car seat and diaper bag  was difficult since I am pretty short. So I had to find another option. A friend let me try her Ergo on and I loved it but she made the mistake of showing me her ring sling as well. I couldn't decide which one and she assured me I would use both so I bit the bullet and bought both. I wanted the color to be grey, in order to work for boy or girl.

What's in My Diaper Bag- Marmee's Ways

  I love my Petunia Pickle Bottom bag (and peonies)! As I tried to convince myself I didn't need it, the one in the clearance would work just fine, I was completely in love with it and my convincing wasn't working. Diaper bags are so pricey even the Carter's simple bag was $65 I loved the tote style but when I look at other totes there were no pockets, and that wouldn't work. So I had the baby, tried to ignore it but when my dear great-aunt sent us a check and old me to get something I wanted not needed, I knew exactly what I would get.  I love that its easy to wipe and it works for either girl or boy.

Amazing Baby Stain Remover- Marmee's Ways

     

 My oh my...life with a baby boy....and his stinky diapers. I have a little confession I adore Janie and Jack....major addiction to the clearance rack! Well their clothing is the most adorable clothing ever. I bought an adorable white and blue striped overall. Somehow he knows his Janie and Jack clothing well since he only has blowouts while wearing J&J. Well needless to say he had a major explosion while wearing this precious outfit. I regret I didn't get a picture before since I was running as fast as I could to the sink, it was only his second time to wear it. But you mommies know what explosions look like... Must I remind you?
