This baby carrier cover might be my favorite baby This baby carrier cover might be my favorite baby item yet! The cover is made using a pattern by @mossbagbaby (or you can order a cover already made by them) and my MIL’s amazing sewing skills. I figured this would be something we’d use in the fall, but we had an exceptionally chilly spring this year and it ended up being perfect for baseball season! It has been so helpful for keeping Sophie warm and cozy and safe from the wind without juggling a large blanket. We get compliments on it all the time too. 

@mossbagbaby is a Native- and women-owned business - go check them out!
Bring on fruit picking season! We try to take adva Bring on fruit picking season! We try to take advantage of all the u-pick fruit in our area from strawberries at the beginning of summer to apples in the fall (with things like blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and more in between). Here are some ideas of what you can do with your u-pick fruit:

ALL the dessert recipes (cakes, cobblers, pies, etc)
Canning (jams, jellies, applesauce - last year we canned the most delicious peach lemonade concentrate and we will definitely be making more) 
Freezing in batches for future baking 
Pre-made smoothie blends in the freezer 
Dehydrating in the oven 
Eating fresh (obviously) 

What’s your favorite way to use large amounts of fresh fruit?

We all survived my husband’s first 24-hour shift at the FD after having him home for 12 weeks on paternity leave. I packed 3 school lunches, pumped twice, fed baby a bottle, and got everyone where they needed to be. Late, but we made it. I also treated myself to an iced coffee because why not?

@main_st_bistro Baked Macaroni & Cheese is always a winner when it comes to choosing a side dish. It heats in just 5 minutes in the microwave or 20 minutes in the oven and it’s delicious either way.

If you’ve been following along in my stories, I started going to classes at @otflewiscenter a couple times a week. I was a little intimidated at first, but the instructors have been fantastic, everyone has been really friendly and welcoming, and it’s been easy enough to go at my own pace whenever I need to (which is basically the entire time 🤣). Here’s to getting back on track!

If you’re in the Columbus area, let me know if you want to go to a class together! You can also use the link in my bio get your first 3 classes for free to try them out.

We’ve had a lot of rainy/chilly days this spring We’ve had a lot of rainy/chilly days this spring, which always puts me in the mood for a cozy meal. #ad It doesn’t get any cozier than a bowl of steaming hot Jook, which is Chinese rice porridge/congee. Think of it like the Chinese version of chicken noodle soup. Your grandma makes you chicken noodle soup, my grandmother makes me Jook. You can make it with either uncooked or leftover rice, just adjust the ingredients as needed. I’m using @ricelandfoods long grain white rice for this recipe - it’s Gluten-free, Non-GMO, Cholesterol-Free and Sodium-free, plus we eat a lot of rice as a family and it’s incredible versatile for everything we make.

Homemade Jook (makes 4 servings):

1 c Riceland white rice
6-8 c chicken stock or water
3 in ginger, peeled and grated
4 Tbsp Chinese cooking wine
Salt (to taste)
Chicken, cooked and shredded

Add rice, 6c liquid, ginger, cooking wine and salt to a boil. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn’t stick/burn to the bottom of the pot. Add more liquid as it cooks if the congee starts to look too dry. Once it is done, turn off the heat, add in the cooked chicken and cover for 20 minutes. This allows the congee to thicken more. Then you can add more liquid to achieve your desired consistency, if needed, and add additional salt to taste.

Toppings are optional, but can include: eggs (poached, soft boiled, 100 year old etc), chili oil or chili crisp, green onions, sesame oil, furikake

I always felt like it was a given that I’d breas I always felt like it was a given that I’d breastfeed my babies, never expecting it to be as hard as it has been . #sponsored I’m exclusively pumping again (for the third time), but this time with a low supply so we’re supplementing with formula. Choosing @byheart infant formula was probably the easiest decision I’ve had to make this entire feeding journey. It’s made with certified-clean* ingredients like organic, grass-fed whole milk - never skim, organic coconut oil and organic prebiotics. ByHeart’s patented protein blend gets the closest to breastmilk and they do it all with no GMOs, soy, corn syrup, palm oil, gluten or artificial growth hormones. I’m so thankful to have a formula with all-in-one benefits I can give my baby confidently alongside our breastfeeding journey.

Navigating devices and technology with our kids is Navigating devices and technology with our kids is definitely a journey. #BarkAd We got our tween a Bark Phone for the summer so he can have a little more freedom  but still stay safely connected with us. @barktechnologies parent control app allows us to monitor content, manage screen time, and block certain apps and websites. For us, that means no social media but still giving him access to games and the ability to check the scores of his favorite teams. And you can adjust restrictions as your child gets older. As parents, we get alerts for potential risks, including bullying and depression. Plus there’s location tracking through GPS so we know where he is at all times. 

If you’re exploring phones for your tween or teen, definitely check out the Bark Phone. It’s digital freedom with a safety net.

13 Halloween Fashion Must-Haves | Kids Fashion

Yesterday was the first day of fall. Can you believe it? It was nearly 90 degrees around here, so it’s really hard to think about pumpkin spice lattes and all things fall, but the truth is that the holidays are right around the corner. In the small shop world, all holidays come early. If you’re a procrastinator like me, it can be hard to keep up. So I’m here to help! I know it’s not October quite yet, but if you’re a fan of Halloween, you’re already a little late on ordering your Halloween tees for you and your littles. I’ve put together a quick list of 13 Halloween fashion must-haves so you can get right to shopping. While I’ve also included your order deadlines for each shop, some brands have limited sizing. Make sure you order soon so you don’t miss out on the size you need.

1. Come, We Fly tee from Darling June Co., $22
Hocus Pocus fan, anyone? It’s hands down my favorite movie and I’m so thrilled to see all the shops with Hocus Pocus-inspired designs this year. And if you’re not a fan of the movie, Darling June has other Halloween designs too.

5. Sugar Skull Cat romper from Henry and Claire, $36
Don’t be intimidated by the lack of snaps on this romper. I actually love this style for Caleb – the romper is so easy to slip on and off for diaper changes. And this sugar skull cat is so adorable. This particular design only has a few rompers left, but there are also a couple other Halloween designs in the shop.

12. Personalized Trick or Treat Bags from Little Lulu’s Bling Boutique, $30
Liam got one of these for Halloween this year and he is so excited to use it. This is way better than using a pillowcase or one of those hard pumpkin buckets (Liam always spills his by accident). There are three bag style options (pumpkin, ghost and spider) and you can personalize it with your child’s name.

Last day to order in time for Halloween: October 7th
Where to order: littlelulusblingboutique.com

13. Masks from Opposite of Far, $20+
Opposite of Far has been one of my favorite small shops since Liam was born. Their collection of masks is amazing and I love that they’ve added tails, ears and paws over the last year or two. What I love about Opposite of Far is that these aren’t just Halloween-specific costumes. Once Halloween is over, Liam’s mask and tail go into his toy box. This way, we can have super fun imaginative play all year long. There are so many different animal options, but don’t forget to check out their crowns, beards and superhero masks too.

halloween-must-haves-1
Last day to order in time for Halloween: October 10th
Discount code: WEARLOVEWANDERS for 15% off

I actually still need to order Liam’s mask and tail from Opposite of Far. We haven’t decided what to get yet. What will your child be for Halloween? Drop a comment below and tell me all about it!
