Yesterday I received my Nestle Sample Box that I signed up for a few months ago! When you go to sign up on their website to receive it they ask you some information about yourself like your name, email, contact, and your due date for baby. When the time comes closer to you due that is when they send you the sample box. It comes in a cute little box. Just click on the link, scroll to the bottom, and press join now! https://www.nestlebaby.ca/en# Inside the box is a four pack bottle of Nestle Good Start formula milk and a bottle top.   A Huggies diaper. It's so small it's adorable! I forgot how small newborn diapers were.   A book about baby feeding guide and some coupon booklets! I found the sample box very generous and can ease some of the financial burden of buying formula by giving a few days supply. Although I am choosing to breastfeed it's always good to have formula ready on hand until you have a steady milk supply or if the breast pain ...

This post is dedicated to kids (and parents) with technology addictions. I have been struggling lately with a toddler who seems to be addicted to the iPad. She wants it in the morning, afternoon, and night; even sometimes falling asleep with it in her hand. Why are we struggling with limiting screen time?

It's unfortunate but its true but sometimes we do not have the energy to be "on" all the time and it seems to be the quickest fix to the problem. Kids tend to copy what they see like they say "monkey see monkey do". When kids see their parent always glued to their phone, laptops, etc. Is it...

I have been debating back and forth with myself whether or not I wanted to start my own Bullet Journal. After much debate I have decided YESS! I hit up the Dollarama a while back and picked up some things to get me started. I eventually want to buy Calligraphy pens but I wanted to try it out first and see if I stick to it before going straight for the expensive stuff. Some of the stuff I picked up are: A thick paged sketchpad notebook Pens Black fine tip ink pens Double sided markers (thick + thin) Pencils Gem stickers Pencil case Metallic tape (for design purposes) The best thing I found about bullet journaling is that there isn't a set structure when normally there is. I struggled with this at first with bullet journaling as I found myself wanting to add dividers and section off things but no matter what I did with the structure it wasn't practical. You don't have to be a professional either! I was intimidated by some of the bullet journal p...
