Co-sleeping has several benefits for newborns and infants alike, but there are risks parents take when allowing their child to sleep with them. For starters, there is the suffocation factor. This was one of my biggest concerns when we first decided to share our bed with Sebastian. This was not a tough decision. We knew it was the only way he would sleep throughout the night. So, being the exhausted first-time parents we were, we allowed it. I woke up several times the firs few nights just to make sure our son was still breathing. To calm my nerves, I developed a mental check list that would allow me to…

IKEA Shares Workspace Tips With Bloggin’ Mamas
Mom blogger network Bloggin’ Mamas recently hosted the Bloggin’ Mamas Academy Event at IKEA of Sunrise, FL. Attendees were greeted at the door by an IKEA employee with a smile and directions to the event locations. After filling our tummies with delicious meals from the food court, mamas made their way to the workspace station to hear tips on how they can improve their office space. From big spaces to very tiny ones, IKEA of Sunrise is no stranger to many of the questions attendees threw at them.

Teachings Tuesday: Treasure All The Silly Moments
If you asked a mom what keeps her going, her response will probably have something to do with her ability to laugh, not only at herself, but at the little silly moments. Similar to the photo I have shared above, there are moments I wish I could hide in the corner and not come out until everything is “normal” again. Some days are easier than others, and I am very thankful for those fly-by days. When things get tough — and by tough I mean I cannot seem to crack a smile — I look down at my little guy and he just amazes me. He is such a curious, funny, and…

MomViews: Two Kids, Back-To-Back
Moms face many challenges in life, and most of the time they just have to roll up their sleeves and find the best way to deal with whatever curve balls come their way. Having one child might seem like plenty for some, while others are open to the idea of creating a family of two or more children.

My Favorite Things: Tom’s of Maine Aluminum-Free Deodarant
I think we have all had stinky armpits at one point in our lives. Whether you are working out and sweating all over the place or just simply having terrible body odor for whatever reason. Since puberty, my periods would be accompanied with terrible body odor. It was embarrassing. I tried everything. Secret, Dove, and even men’s deodorant. For years I stuck to Dove anti-perspirant. Little did I know I was blocking my pores and even developed an enlarged lymph node under my left armpit. Gross.Antibiotics helped bring it down and I switched from shaving to waxing my armpits. Because hair traps smells, I just could not wait five weeks…
