Nanny to Mommy

As some of you may know, I am a Bzz Agent. Sometimes I receive free products in exchange to share information on my blog with all of you. But I am still very selective about what I share on my blog, because I have to feel passionate about the products or cause.



I was recently selected to participate in the Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified™ Campaign. Not only was I a part of this campaign last year and was so excited to be included in it again since I learned the importance of fair trade, I have tried to share the importance of fair trade on my blog.

Most of the time, your coffee is the thing that just helps you power through your day, making it easy to overlook. But take a moment to reflect on the impact it can have beyond your next deadline or early morning errand. Fair Trade means a great cup of coffee for you and a better quality of life for farmers. By purchasing Fair Trade Certified™ Green Mountain Coffee® brand, you help coffee farmers receive a fair price for their beans, which means a great cup of coffee and a better quality of life in coffee-farming communities.

You might have noticed some of my updates on Facebook about October being Fair Trade Month. And in celebration of Fair Trade Month, Green Mountain Coffee® is introducing Fair Trade Certified™ Three Continent Blend, which combines the flavors and aromas of three continents in one harmonious Extra Bold blend. The only thing that might be richer than the benefits of purchasing Fair Trade coffee are the flavors. As the largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified™ coffee, Green Mountain Roasters, Inc. (the parent company of Green Mountain Coffee®) knows that quality is second to none. That’s why they offer a wide selection of Fair Trade coffees, including brand-new Three Continent Blend, which combines the flavors and aromas of South America, Africa, and Asia into one harmonious Extra Bold Blend.

Please feel free to drop by ChooseFairTrade.org and let me know why Fair Trade might be important to you.

Sweet Pea was strange on vacation. She threw a ton of tantrums over nothing. This isn't like her at ALL. I think that girl just needs her schedule, ritual, and structure of her everyday environment to get her through the day. She is getting better with adjusting as she gets older. But clearly she still has her moments.
We felt like crying during this shoot because this was the only thing my mother-in-law truly wanted. And our daughter just wouldn't cooperate. I think the bloopers are kind of funny looking back (now that I know we did get some okay shots). More to come next week!

I actually kind of like this picture. And my pregnancy glow.

Did you ever have a photo shoot fail?

When we are on vacation it is always a different experience every year we go. SweetPea is able to cope differently each time. But one thing is for certain, we have to bring some amenities from home so we can help her adjust. That's why I was happy to receive the Nuby™ Travel Spoon & Fork Set to review.



The Nûby™ Travel Set is designed to keep your little one’s utensils and your diaper bag clean, tidy and hygienic whilst out and about. The handy travel case comes with an easy to use spoon and fork set and is perfect for mom and baby on the go.



This little set came in very handy our recent trip to Florida since the condo we stayed in didn't have any kid friendly utensils, not even little forks or spoons. PLUS the silver ware was super heavy. One day I wanted SweetPea to have lunch on the beach and I wanted her to have yogurt, it was wonderful knowing that her spoon wouldn't get sand all over it and when I put it back in my bag, yogurt wouldn't get everywhere.

The Nuby Travel set is available for purchase at Buy Baby Direct & Amazon. Also don't forget to connect with Nuby on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, &/or Instagram for some great giveaways!

With back to school season starting and summer coming to a close, I can feel fall in the air. I think that is because the pollen count has been a little higher (nothing like in the spring), but still enough that my eyes and nose are noticing.

With the second allergy season of the year kicking up, it is important to keep these Back to School Allergy Tips in mind.

1. Be sure to have Children’s Claritin, the #1 pediatrician-recommended non-drowsy allergy brand, on hand!

2. Multi-vitamins are building blocks to having a strong immune system. Make taking a multi-vitamin part of your child’s daily routine.

3. Let there be light! Mold doesn't like sunlight, so try to keep your curtains open during the day. Should be easy during the summer months!

4. Did you know that most pillows trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria? Monitor the cleanliness of the pillow your child with allergies sleeps on and replace if necessary.

5. Back to school season means lots of laundry for many moms. Be sure to remove laundry from the washing machine promptly. Allowing wet clothes to sit in the washer means mold can quickly grow there.

6. Monitor pollen counts and adjust outdoor before and after school activities accordingly. Dry, windy days can be particularly high in pollen.

7. Showering or bathing at the end of the day as opposed to the morning can be helpful in removing allergens from body surfaces and hair.

8. Stay hydrated! Always send your child to school with a bottle of water. Drinking lots of clear fluids through the day can help get rid of toxins and flush out body.

9. Peak pollen production typically occurs in early morning, so try to plan outside activities at other times of the day.
