5 Baby Must Haves I didn't know I needed

Today I want to share with 5 baby must haves I didn't know I needed until I got to use them.
These are definitely baby products that should be added to every baby registry. I hope this post is helpful to new and future mommies.

1. Ooogie Bear Infant Nose and Ear CleanerIf your baby has boogies you need this tool, best $13 spent! I was having a hard time removing dried boogies from Chloe's nose, until I found this tool. The Oogie Bear tool is called the better booger tool for a reason. The tool has two ends one is a loop end for sticky boogers and the other one is a scoop end for dried boogies. This tool makes it really easy to remove boogies from your baby's nose to help them breath easier. You can also use this tool to clean your babies ears. 

2. NeilMed Naspira Nasal Aspirator -I always told myself I will never use snot sucker, it always grossed me out, but once you become a mother nothing grosses you out anymore and you will do anything to make your baby feel better. The first few months Chloe was getting congested often. My peditrician recommended me to use saline drops and this nasal aspirator. What I like about the aspirator versus the famous NoseFrida is that it is two in one you can use it with the suction tube or without it. It is transparent so you can see what it is inside to make sure no mold forms in it, and you can also break it apart for easy cleaning and sterilizing. I purchased mine at my second home Target for $12.99. 


3. Rocking Chair- Through my whole pregnancy I was debating if I wanted to splurge on a rocking chair. My mom actually bought a set of two from our neighbor for a really good price and it was the best gift I could ever receive. You need a comfortable place to nurse your baby, specially during the first few weeks of recovery. We have one in Chloe's nursery and one in the living room. If you don't want to spend a lot of money look into getting gently used one from a friend or the internet, people are always selling their nursery furniture after their babies grow. Make sure to also get a ottoman to rest your feet you can find really inexpensive ones at Ross or Marshall's.



4. Sophie the Giraffe -I never understood the purpose of a $25 teething toy until I gave it to my baby. I actually received this toy as a baby shower gift. I was never planning to get it but after seeing how much Chloe loves it I understand the hype around this toy.  Sophie besides being a super cute toy it also stimulates the baby's five senses. It is a great toy to give your busy baby when they are teething. This is a must have item to add to your baby registry if you are pregnant.




5.Baby Carrier - This is another baby item that I always said I will never use. I ended up buying one after giving birth and I love it. I have the Infantino Flip Front 2 Back Carrier, I got mine at Marshall's for $24.99. I like this specific carrier because is not too big, it doesn't have too many straps or buckles and it easy to put on. It also offers three carrying positions: facing in, facing out and backpack position. I personally like to wear Chloe facing out that way she can explore around while mommy cruises down the Target isles. Baby carriers make it easy to walk around with your baby and give the option of not having to bring the stroller everywhere. Not every carrier is for everyone, I definitely recommend to research and get the carrier that best suits your body and your needs.


Chloe's ready to conquer the world with mommy!

Four Outfit Ideas for Fourth of July

Since the Fourth of July is next week here are four outfit ideas for you to get inspired. This holiday is all about being festive and rocking the red, white and blue. These outfits are festive but without being too out there, they can be worn any other day of summer. Some of the pieces I have had for a while so they are not in stores but I will try to link as many pieces as I can.  Outfit #1 This outfit is great for a picnic day, its girly and comfortable. I have been loving the look of flannels wrapped around your waist,  it just adds a more laid back feel to any outfit. Sunglasses: Aldo (currently in stores) Crop Top: American Eagle (in stores) Skirt: Urban Outfitters (last year) Button Down: Urban Outfitters (last year) Sandals: Target (last year) Outfit # 2 This outfit is definitely more put together, you can wear this outfit to a party or if you are having a night out in town with your friends.  I have been loving the look of pepl

I became a mom | Birth Story

Hello everyone! It has been almost two years since my last post. A lot has happened, but the most important thing, I became a mother. On May 25, 2017 I gave birth to my daughter Chloe Alessandra. I wanted to blog my whole pregnancy but life was so hectic I never found the time to start. My friend Mayra recently gave birth to her beautiful daughter Giselle and she just started her own blog :  Giselle y Mama Go check out her blog, I loved her first post, and it inspired me to start blogging again. Let's start with my birth story! I gave birth at 39 weeks and 5 days, my due date was May 27. My labor and delivery were nothing like I imagined. On my last doctor's appointment the doctor spoke to me about having an induction the following week because I was not showing any signs of dilation. I was hoping things would start progressing before my due date and they did. Tuesday night around 10:30pm I started having very mild cramps. I had been drinking a lo

Last Minute Little Mermaid Halloween Outfits

Hi everyone Happy Halloween! Little Mermaid has always been my favorite Disney princess. I have been wanting to be Little Mermaid for halloween for years but most Little Mermaid costumes they sell at halloween shops are way too expensive or too reveling for me. So this year I decided to dress up with my own twist. I will be showing you too options you can wear with clothing items you might already have at home. One of the looks it's more like a Glam Party Little Mermaid great to go out downtown. The second look it's Hipster Little Mermaid which I got inspired by all the funny memes you see on instagram. I know this is definitely last minute since today is Halloween but I hope you guys get some inspiration if you don't know what to wear tonight. Glam Party Little Mermaid For this look you will need a red wig, a purple top, teal leggings, and accessories.
