In the final weeks before baby girl number three arrives, I am making sure I have all my ducks in a row – which means diapers, wipes, outfits, and anything else I need to support a healthy recovery for myself and a strong foundation for baby girl. Including being prepared to support her gut health and immune system from the get-go!

What Makes You Smile?
This post is sponsored by Smile Generation but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are 100% my own. 2019 brought another year of big change for our little family – including moving again! We are loving our new city and are enjoying making our new house a home.

Which is why one of the items on my list of New Year’s Resolutions is to do more of what makes me smile the most – time spent with these cuties!

Kicking bottled water and living better with Brita!
This post is sponsored by Brita, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I’m a water snob. There, I said it. My husband already knows this to be true, but when it comes to water, I can be picky! Though we joke at home about my high standards for good water, really it can be boiled down to two simple things 1. I like clean tasting water, and 2. I like knowing that my water is free from contaminants that can potentially endanger mine and my family’s health.

Gut Check! Why I love probiotics for my babies!
This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Is your baby’s gut healthy? How do you know? Ever wondered how you could easily tell if your baby’s gut was suffering? Since our babies can’t express themselves in words, we are left playing the guessing game or looking for certain signs. Thankfully there is a simple 3-Question Baby Gut Check Quiz you can take that will help you identify whether or not your baby is one of the 9 out of 10 infants missing B. infantitis (the good bacteria in your baby’s gut) Question 1: Were you OR your baby born via C-section?…

Your Health At Your Fingertips – I took an At-Home Food Sensitivity Test and here’s what I thought
Disclaimer – I was given the Food Sensitivity Test by Everlywell in exchange for my honest review. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own. Let me tell you a little story…. I grew up playing soccer, riding horses, eating what every other normal person ate, with no issues. I was healthy. When I was 19, I had a sports related knee injury, requiring surgery. A week post surgery, I found myself back in the hospital with a severe infection, requiring a PICC line in my arm for daily rounds of IV antibiotics. I recovered just fine, so I thought. In the months and years that followed, I had…

Why Your Baby’s Gut Health Matters
This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. My personal whole health journey began when I ended up on months of IV of antibiotics after getting a secondary infection after my knee surgery. The antibiotics completely destroyed my gut health, resulting in various ailments, intolerances and sensitivities in the years that followed. Now as a mother of two, I am very conscious of the importance of gut health and the vital role it plays in our immune systems and the overall well-being of our bodies. I’ve recently spent some time researching probiotic use in babies, and how it can strengthen the immune…

Reset + Refresh + Renew
I have always loved making resolutions for the New Year. The anticipation and momentum building up to that 1/1 date gives me the energy I need to start the year off on the right foot. As this year comes to a close, I love reviewing what went well and what didn’t. What we accomplished and what is left undone. I love using it as a marker for how I want the next year to go, and what changes I need to make in order to maintain balance in my life. This past year, a lot went right but I also received a big wakeup call in regards to my own…

What’s In My Medicine Cabinet – Sick Season Tricks!
It wasn't even flu season and I already had to pull my tricks out! Poor G picked up some cold/flu bug (probably from CONSTANTLY chewing on her hands - the girl is trying to push through 3-4 teeth at once) and the hubby and I fought desperately to not get sick ourselves... I will say, we do not frequent doctors offices and stay pretty healthy in general (...knocking on my wooden desk...) So in the spirit of going back to school, the weather getting cooler, and people spreading more germs, I figured I would share my Sick Season Tricks!
