One Honest Mommy

Photo Credit: Megan Malone I don't know about your baby but mine has never enjoyed tummy time. It has just never been his thing. Even though he can hold his head up now he still does not like it. Even now that he is trying to crawl and roll over he still hates it because he just ends up getting mad that he cannot make the  movements he wants. I have found a few things that make it a little more enjoyable for him though. Now these new found ideas do not make it last to much longer but they have helped some.  Lay with your baby's tummy on yours so they will technically be doing tummy time but still in contact with you. Put a toy for them to observe in their hands where they cannot help but see it. This really works well with Noah most of the time but you really cannot do it until your baby can hold his/her head up well is the only issue with this idea. Give them a mirror to look at. Some babies are fascinated with their reflection, when Noah was curious ab...

Hello Everyone, I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been some what crazy. Keep checking back and I will post as soon as I can!

The bassinet/changing table attachment is a pain in the butt I must admit. Once you take it off it just is always in the way, or at least it was for me. Other than the little attachment for the bassinet feature I like this product. When you have the bottom raised up for when baby is younger it can sway a little so it almost helps rock the baby to sleep.  I also like that theme can be used with a boy or a girl. Personally I think every family needs one of these for vacations and such. I have found Graco to be a really good brand too if anyone is looking for one.

At first I did not want a travel system because I did not picture myself always taking Noah's car seat in and out. I ended up with a travel system anyways, the one picture above is the exact one I have for my son. I love it. Being able to take the seat in and out is really a life saver especially if I am shopping or going into church and Noah has fallen asleep during the ride I do not have to wake him up to get where I am going, I just bring him in sleeping in his carrier. Trust me when baby is already asleep it is a lot easier on everyone involved if you can leave him asleep at all costs, especially since my son is so good at fighting sleep. The stroller part is really nice too, it has a lot of places to put stuff while you are on the go. The cup holder tray on top is what I use the most. If I am shopping with my son though I will sometimes put...

Photo Credit: www.honest.com Honest Diaper After finding out that my Husband and I were expecting our first child, naturally I wanted to use only the best products for him or her. I had heard a lot of good things about The Honest Company, and their diapers were super cute too, so of course I wanted to try them. My mother in law got the pack we tried for us but I think you can sign up with The Honest Company and get a trail pack but I am not entirely sure on this. When we tried these diapers I was extremely let down. The name of the company is The Honest Company, so you would expect the diapers to be completely pure and not cause irritation. This was not the case. After a few times of wearing these diapers my son's entire bottom area where the diaper touched was super red and irritated looking. I still do not know what in the diaper caused this reaction but I do know that as soon as I quit using them on him his skin cleared up. I had to get rid of almost a whole pack of ...

Photo Credit: www.walmart.com Fisher Price Infant Tub I have used this Fisher Price Infant Tub since day one with my son. While he was still small I would lay him in the sling part and bathe him. Now that he is bigger he sits up a little more in the tub and can splash and play. Once he is able to sit up completely on his own he will be able to use the green seat pictures above, it inserts into the tub. The little blue spray bottle in the picture has been wonderful for getting him completely rinsed off. The tub comes with the green seat, the polka dot sling, blue spray bottle and the orange water toy as well so you do not have to go out and buy anything extra. The tub set it really nice and like I said you can use it when your baby is still a newborn too. I am not sure the pricing of it though, I received mine as a baby gift. I have seen the tub at both Walmart and Babies R Us though. My experience with this product has been great, and I would recommend it to anyone who is lo...
