Mama B and Lil B's favorites things

The past few months I have come to realize some of our favorite things around here and figured I'd share. Just in case any of you were wondering. =)

First up Lil B's favorites. The B Ball from Rhino Toys. It bends and is flexible, he gnaws at it all day. It was the first thing he could actually hold in his grasp and he seems to favor it over all of his toys.

Next up Aquaphor

This stuff is amazing. Lil B used to get very dry cheeks because he is so fair and it's a dry winter. I put this on it one day and poof they were healed almost immediately. It's great for when he some how scratches his face. Which, I have no idea how, since his nails are constantly cut and filed? So weird ! But this clears up and scratch with in an hour.

Then we have our Motorola 3.5 video monitor with two cameras. We haven't used the second camera yet, but I think it will come in handy when he gets older and starts to play in his room. So many great features, like zoom, pan around to different spots of crib and music ! Lil B love to fall asleep to music. It's awesome !

Now for Mama B's favorites. Since Lil B is still, well little, there are some nights we get 8-9 hours straight aof him sleeping and then sometimes we get some breaks in between for feedings. So coffee is one of my best friends. My favorites are Folgers Vanilla Biscotti and Eight O Clock Original. Love them and my Kuerig !

And since a girl needs to look pretty, best place to start is her hands. I love Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail hardener. Not only does it make them grow, but they are strong and my tips are super white.

And of course being a mama, my hands are always doing something. Be it washing, laundry, changing, bathing or working, it's hard to have an actual nail color on. But my go to polish is Allure by Essie. It's a nude color that works with everything and makes my nails look amazing ! And you can hardly tell when it chips !

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!! It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go. This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches. It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room, was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

My pregnancy and birth story

As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight. Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...
