After a busy week we packed our bags and headed to the beach. I threw my new Tiger Balm Neck and Shoulder Rub in the bag and rushed out the door. Day two of our vacation and Joe woke up with a major crick in his neck. He slept wrong. I grabbed the Tiger Balm…
Waiting – Not My Strongest Attribute
The next few weeks have me on the edge of my seat. There are several big events happening that will drastically impact our lives. We have our First ultrasound. We weren’t sure if we wanted to find out the sex of the baby but we’re finally giving in to our curiosity. On Thursday we have…
2B Mom: Blanqi Bodystyler Review + Giveaway
As my baby bump gets bigger the more uncomfortable I get too. I find that when I’m walking I lead with my belly. Gravity is no working for me. The Blanqi Bodystyler offers support for growing bellies unlike any other maternity shapewear. What I love about the Blanqi is that it offers a smoother and…
2B Mom: Reno Rose – Pirose Nursing Cover Review
I’m an on-the-go mom so being able to nurse my baby comfortably anywhere is important to me. While women have the right to breastfeed openly in most states I still like to maintain a little privacy.

My Favorite Songs from Pretty Little Liars Soundtrack
Music plays a vital role in any television or film product. If you don’t believe me try watching a scary movie with no sound… not so scary huh? The soundtrack to the WB’s new show, Pretty Little Liars is thoughtful and perfectly placed within the show. Two of my favorite songs from the soundtrack are…
Let the Weird Pregnancy Dreams Begin
One of the more interesting side effects of pregnancy is crazy, vivid dreams. Sometimes these dreams can be scary or stressful but most often my pregnancy dreams are just plain weird. Even when I’m not pregnant I have weird dreams. Pregnancy just adds another dose of crazy. It’s like a wild drug trip. (I can…
Some Girls Dream of Their Wedding Day, I Dream of My House.
As a little girl I would spend endless hours drawing house plans, arranging imaginary furniture and “living” in my future house. Years later I still dream of “my house”. We live in a tiny 2 bedroom townhouse that we outgrew pretty much the moment we moved in. We have a tiny fenced in yard (and…
