So once spring time comes I love strolling the neighborhood for some fresh air or picking up Calvin from preschool. The kit comes with a universal car seat adapter, extra infant padding and allows you to lay flat the stroller seat in order to give baby a comfy flat ride. I love that the height is great enough for Calvin to see his baby brother and check in during our rides together. The extra large basket is great for carrying all the extra bags that moms think they need every time they leave home!

A tip I would give to any parent trying to paint small areas in their kids room is to buy”8 oz sample paint”. It’s cheaper ( $3.98) and has enough paint to create a color block wall. Below you will find some pictures I found on Pinterest that inspired the look for Calvin’s room. I’m so excited to have finally finished Calvin’s room after spending four months putting it together.

As I prepare to celebrate Calvin’s 3rd birthday this Wednesday, I can’t help but remember what the days looked like leading up to his birth. The crib wasn’t built and whatever vision I had in mind for a nursery quickly faded for two reasons, Calvin was seven weeks early and our Bronx apartment was way too small to dream big. I haven’t been able to fully connect with our second son and transforming our bedroom gave me a chance to connect with him. I hear so many stories of mamas feeling guilty over not having a “perfect nursery” or a spare room for their baby, I want you to know your baby doesn’t care about that.

Between preparing for labor or getting the kids ready to start remote learning/ school, it can feel like each minute of your time is occupied with something else other than just you. The quiet moments that we desire often seem hard to find and the plan you made to catch a breath outside has become the last thing on your list; since it takes almost forever to leave the house with any child. n’t mean you have to leave the kids behind, you may just consider your self-care time a time where you just hang with the kids, soaking up all of them. In this book, you’ll find all those thoughts you hide from other moms but also the ones you feel scared about saying out loud to yourself.
