Nanny to Mommy

Pregnancy can be a time where you experience more changes at once, more than any other time in your life. Whether it’s emotional changes or physical, everything changes and it can be extremely overwhelming, especially if you don’t know what to expect.

From dealing with morning sickness to dealing with a whole world of responsibilities, there are all kinds of different factors that are now being introduced into your life that can turn your world upside down.

You may think that you’re ready for these changes, but one change particularly that you might not be expecting: is stress. Stress is something that seems to hit you right when you least expect it. It can disrupt your life and literally put you down constantly if you don’t know how to see it coming and put a stop to it.

So many people have this idea that being pregnant is butterflies and roses, so many individuals constantly think that when you’re pregnant, you’re just a mother, you don’t have to worry about anything else. But this is completely false.

I love subscription boxes. And I have unboxed so many. I love when they are themed with either the season or common things that are happening around that time. Like this box was all about BBQ time!

So, 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.

So what was in the box?

I remember when my daughter was a baby. I received three different diaper bags at my shower. I didn't register for one at all because I couldn't find one I liked. They had looked very childish and bulky or cheap. But I received a diaper bag because people knew that I would need one. By the time my son was born, diaper bags had started coming around, but honestly? They weren't quite where they needed to be. You know a good diaper bag when it is s fashionable yet functional that you want to continue using it even after you don't technically need a "diaper bag" anymore.

I was recently sent the best BAG I have ever owned. Yes it's a "diaper bag", but it something that is so functional, practical, and stylish I seriously love using it everyday. The bag is from Ethan & Emma and here is what they had to say about their products: "At Ethan & Emma, we understand what it means to be a parent, which is why we are devoted to making parenting easier for you. We are committed to creating products that are functional and durable and that will withstand any encounter with small, but curious hands. We do the hard work of creating these products so that you can spend more time having fun with your kids."

This bag has a place for everything so you can keep everything in it's place.
