Nanny to Mommy

I'm going to tell you a story that not many people know about. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was a nanny and use to take them regularly to this bounce house place. It was a little bit of a drive from their house, but totally worth it because the kids loved it. One day, my friend had invited us to come jump and I noticed that the girl I was watching had a dirty diaper. No big deal, they had awesome family restrooms. My friend watched the little boy I cared for while I went and changed the diaper.

 

The diaper was a bad one. So bad, I couldn't stand the smell and started getting sick. Actually, this was normal for me. I had terrible morning sickness with my first pregnancy, the difference this time.

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the SPLENDA® Brand. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own.

I was excited to get together with some friends and family this past weekend to enjoy the sweet life of summer with a little swimming and some yummy recipes thanks to SPLENDA. Swimming is our go to activity during this time of year. It is a great way to stay outdoors to enjoy the summer sun while staying cool and getting a little exercise too.


I think many of us are trying to make smarter choices, whether that means taking the stairs in place of the elevator or being more mindful of the ingredients we use in recipes. That's why I loved sharing this awesome Lemon Crepes Recipe that I found on SWEET SWAPS with all of my friends and family. SWEET SWAPS has a ton of tips and great recipes that aid in living a more balanced lifestyle.

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

My son is still crawling although he is taking steps here and there. But at my in-laws where there is all hard wood floor he likes to mostly crawl still because he's not only unsure of the surface, I think he feels it's faster to crawl. But if he is wearing anything with pants, he slips and slides everywhere.

 

That's why I am loving this new product from the UK called Easy Grip Crawl Suit from Creeper Crawlers. We recently received one to review and it absolutely fantastic!

We recently had the opportunity to review a new title from ISeeMe called "I Wish You More". It is personalized with a child’s name on the cover and throughout the story. The book can even be customized with a photo on the dedication page. As an added personal touch, "I Wish You More" includes a printed dedication from the sender, making it an extra-special gift for a child’s graduation, birthday or “just because”. My daughter recently "graduated" from 3K and I thought this book would be perfect for her.



My daughter loves seeing her name on every page in the "I Wish You More" book. I love that it is from New York Times bestselling book creators and published by Chronicle Books. The quality of this book is perfect and it makes the perfect gifts for any occasion.
