Keeping Halloween Traditions Alive With Walmart+

Keeping Halloween Traditions Alive With Walmart+

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. Walmart recently released their Walmart+ membership, and I have been loving the benefits! Benefits vary by location, but in our zip code we receive free unlimited delivery with a $35 minimum (some restrictions apply), member prices on fuel that save us 5 cents per gallon of gas at Walmart and Murphy gas stations, and the ability to check out with mobile scan and go using our phones when we shop in-store which is my personal favorite! I just scan as I shop and the check out process is completely contactless. It saves so much time! October is one of the busiest time of the year for my business getting holiday content ready to go, fitting in all my favorite Halloween festivities, and this year we’re also getting everything ready for baby boy to arrive! Its a crazy time of year so we love the free unlimited delivery ($35 minimum, restrictions) on groceries (and more) with our Walmart+ membership. Before trick or treating every year we have a festive dinner called spooky spaghetti. We all look forward to enjoying a fun and yummy dinner before hitting the streets with Kai. I’m so grateful that I didn’t even have to leave my house to get all the ingredients here for

I’M PREGNANT! Baby #2 Announcement!

I’M PREGNANT! Baby #2 Announcement!

The day has finally come to announce, even though we’ve wanted to shout it from the rooftops ever since I saw that positive pregnancy test back in June! To say we are excited for baby #2 is a HUGE understatement. After actively trying for about a year, our prayers have been answered and our family growing in February 2021! I even had to change my first fertility appointment to our first baby check up! I’ll share a first trimester recap here soon, but these announcement photos needed their own post because Lizzy of @lizzyography knocked it out of the park. She captured the tiniest details I will cherish forever, as well as how imperfect and silly our little family is. I couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you in advance for all the love on our exciting news! Also- full disclosure I haven’t really “popped” yet. Even though lets be honest, I haven’t had a flat tummy since the 9th grade haha! I’m definitely pushing out the bloat/ bump for one main reason. We’re having a winter baby, and I just can’t see myself waddling out in the snow for maternity photos lol, so this is it! Just wanted to keep it real so when you see my trying on jeans in stories your aren’t scratching your head! Here they

The Next Phase of Baby with Walmart

The Next Phase of Baby with Walmart

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. Just as soon as you think you’ve got parenting kind of figured out, your sweet baby enters a new stage, and you find yourself trying to navigate through it all over again! My latest lesson has been potty training, and Walmart has helped ease the transition. They are celebrating 20 years of their exclusive brand ‘Parents Choice’ which I have purchased countless times, so I’m highlighting my faves! When my husband and I decided Kai was ready to start potty training, we wanted to get him super excited about it, so we went and bought a portable toilet that looked like a car, (his VERY favorite toy) thinking he would love it. Spoiler alert: he couldn’t have cared less about it. He wanted to go straight to the big potty, so we adapted to his needs with another trip to Walmart! We found a little cushioned potty seat insert that goes directly on the toilet and it worked well for us. We still kept the car potty just incase our next little one wants to start with that when the time comes. With Kai’s speech delay, we were a little worried that potty training would be unsuccessful, but to our surprise, he did so well! He was

Baby Month Savings On Walmart.com!

Thank you you Walmart for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. September means Walmart.com‘s already low prices on baby items are even lower! There’s no better time to get your little one the essentials (you can find my post about breastfeeding must haves here). When you first get bring your baby home, it can be pretty overwhelming trying to figure out what you actually need, and what will just collect dust. One thing you should absolutely add your your MUST HAVE list is a great quality umbrella stroller! When baby gets a bit bigger, it’s so nice to be able to keep something light weight around to explore with your little sidekick. I read literally HUNDREDS of reviews on various brands, and finally settled on the Summer Infant 3D Lite Convenience Stroller! Spoiler alert- we LOVE it! Here are my favorite features of the 3D Lite Stroller: -Cup holder because every mama is running on caffeine -Great size storage compartment perfect for shopping bags -Easy to fold up and has carrying strap -Padded seat for extra comfort -Adjustable back for nap-time on the go Click images to shop! I also included a few other things we couldn’t have made it through Kai’s first year and beyond without! I have all of these exact items, so you can trust
