Nanny to Mommy

I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.

My daughter will be 7 in December. We want to keep her in a five-point harness as long as possible, but she can sit in a booster seat. I was recently introduced to mifold. mifold is the most compact booster seat I have ever seen and makes traveling a breeze. Perfect for use in carpooling or taxis (or uber/lyft). It is so compact that it can fit in your purse or diaper bag.

Instead of bringing the child up like traditional boosters, mifold works by bringing the seat belt down. You can not use just a lap belt with mifold, so it is not recommended for air travel. Being so compact, I was worried about the quality, but it is still very heavy duty and very well made.

I love subscription boxes. I love being surprised with what is inside each month. Cate & Chloe is a subscription box that I have been truly enjoying because everything has been something I would personally wear, but I really love getting a little box that spoils me each month. I think sometimes as moms while we are busying taking care of everyone else, we forget to treat ourselves. I am excited to share Cate & Chloe's October Polished and Poised VIP Box to review.

To get you started with a subscription, you can select The Starter which is one Piece of new fashionable jewelry per month plus a free gift or you can choose Full VIP Status where you get 3 pieces per month plus a free gift, always free shipping. Once you select your box, then you choose what type of jewelry you would like to receive (they no longer offer personalized jewelry boxes), but you can pretty much pick your style. Let me explain: They have the "Trend Setter" which includes eye catching statement pieces & boho chic designs, "Modern Classics" for those who like to accessorize their life with beautiful elegant classic jewelry designs for day or night from the office to the red carpet, and then they have the "Mix It Up" which includes a variety from both.

I chose the "Mix It Up". And here is what was in my box:

Did you know more babies are born in September than any other month?

We are excited to bring you a fabulous giveaway featuring these great baby products!

Is anyone else already starting to think about their Holiday Shopping Lists? We have a big family with a LOT of little girls, so I think very early in the year. Today we are starting our Holiday Gift Guide off with a bang and introducing SmitCo LLC.

They do this through custom made orders and direct orders from suppliers, then sell it to you at great prices.

If you haven't purchase a Degustabox yet, maybe this month's will change your mind. I have been reviewing this foodie subscription box for a year now and I love all of the products I have discovered along the way. This month had some of my favorites again and don't forget new subscribers can get their first box for only $9.99 which includes a free gift and free shipping.

First, what is Degustabox? Degustabox is an on-line food subscription service that delivers a monthly surprise box containing the latest and best products, from small and big brands alike, to the homes of the consumer: saving time and money. You can cancel anytime.

It is Child Passenger Safety Week and I am so excited to share with you all about the Diono radian rXT all-in-one Convertible Car Seat. I have wanted to work with this brand for a while now. Diono is a top brand in child safety and with all of the traveling we have been doing this year, I want to make sure my family is safe.

My fashion is versatile. I need pieces of clothing that can transform from gym to school functions very easily. My day-to-day life is running errands and constantly on-the-go so I don't have time to change my clothes over and over again through out the day.

prAna designs clothes that I can confidently wear all day, no matter what the day brings. I wore my outfit while I was at home working, to my son's school, I changed my top and went to the gym, and I have wore it out to dinner with friends. But I am also excited to wear it whether we go hiking or on more of our spontaneous traveling adventures because prAna is so versatile.

I don't know about your kids, but mine are always so hungry. Always! So I am always searching for snack ideas. We are also always on-the-go, so convenience is another issue. Plus the last thing I want to have to worry about with two younger children is a hunger induced fit, especially in public. So I always carry around snacks wherever I go.


TEDDY SOFT BAKED Filled Snacks are a loveable bear-shaped snack made with quality ingredients such as milk, eggs, and chocolate that contain no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, and no artificial colors. PLUS TEDDY SOFT BAKED Filled Snacks are perfect to throw in my purse because they are individually wrapped. I like to not only throw some in my purse, but in their lunch boxes, my daughter's gymnastics bag, or I carry on practically every where we go.

September is #NationalBabySafetyMonth, sponsored annually by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). This month-long event increases consumer awareness of baby safety issues and the safe selection and use of baby products. For the past 40 years MAM’s top priority has been the development of products for the well-being, safety and health of babies that make life easier for parents and allow them to focus on the joy of family.

As parents, nothing is more important to us than the safety of our MAM babies. In observance of #NationalBabySafetyMonth @MAMbabyUSA is posting safety tips to help raise awareness of key things we can all do to protect our babies.

This little man turned three and a half last week. I have been trying to enjoy all the little moments with him because he is our last baby. But don't call him that. He is a "big boy" and ready for a full time job and a house of his own. Half birthdays may not be something that everyone celebrates, but it was a fun distraction to keep our minds off of Hurricane Irma for sure.

We had a lot of fun celebrating this sweet Peanut's half birthday. And to him, it's a big deal. He is no longer a "baby" anymore, he isn't just three anymore, he is three AND a half! Netflix helped us celebrate this little man's half birthday in a fun, new way. Not only were we sent cool items to make this fun Red Velvet Cake, but just released today they have 15 on-demand videos that celebrate birthdays and make your kids' day special.

So over the summer, my family and I went on a cruise vacation for our 10th wedding anniversary. We got married on a cruise and we thought, "What an awesome way to celebrate a decade together." A wonderful time was had by all. I do have a few tips that I learned along the way, some essentials that will hopefully help you if you decide to take a cruise vacation too.

We bought our house a year ago this month. I still can't believe we have been living here that long. All the boxes have officially been unpacked, which is a HUGE accomplishment for us considering we never completely unpacked at our old house and we were there for almost nine years. But the main thing I have been focusing on now is decorating. I will eventually want to paint everything since there is just builder's grade paint on our walls now, but that will have to wait.

I love display my family as décor. Like for real, y'all. I love my family and I think they are gorgeous. I love canvas prints, metal prints, and I recently discovered FoamCorePrints.

Have you ever wanted to start streaming a show, but you don't want to do it alone? I have. My husband and I have different tastes in what we watch for sure. But everyone once in a while I try to convince him to watch a new show with me. If I can convince his friends that it is a show worth streaming, then I'm golden. So the struggle is real.

We have been back to school for a month now. It has been a little easier for me to get back into our back-to-school routine this year then it has been in years past. I think it is because I have a few tips that I started following this year and it really helped us get back into the swing of things.
