Can't Live Without...
my new nifty fifty lens! I wrote about ordering it the other week. Well it arrived and it is amazing! It takes in so much light that it is really helpful in taking pics around my house (which doesn't have enough natural light to eliminate the need for a flash - which I won't use). I've used it outside too and the images just come out so much better. Awesome purchase!! The pic on the left is one of the first I took with the new lens, and I just love how it came out!

So that a two piece bathing suit (top//bottom) from J Crew that I bought? Total no go. I thought the waist band would be forgiving... it totally wasn't. So back it goes. BUT I was able to find a really cute two piece with a mid rise bottom from Aerie (top//bottom)! Way more flattering and I have actually tried it on so I know it will work!

We are flying for the first time with our little one coming up soon. I am nervous! I have read a lot of other momma's blogs for tips on traveling and have gotten some great ideas. Wish us luck!! An send on over any ideas you have! My last purchase for this trip is a travel Boppy. I am still nursing and hope to do so on the plane. I really can't live without my Boppy (guess that should have been my #1 item!) but trying to imagine lugging that thing around the airport and onto a plane while wrangling our little daredevil almost makes me have a nervous breakdown. My husband thought that they must make an inflatable one, and so I researched and found this travel one that zips into a little carrying case. Hoping it fits the bill! And I am looking forward to keeping it in the car and using it when I have to nurse in there too.
Any tips for baby nap time? I feel like we can never get it right. Like right now I am listening to H in her crib fussing up a storm, but it is her normal nap time and she usually falls asleep within 10 minutes or so. But some days she doesn't... but then some days she does. I've tried changing timing, and also cutting out a nap, and that never seems to work either. Mommahood is a constant evolution, isn't it? Once you think you have something mastered, doesn't it always seem to change?! And sometimes it seems like you can never master anything! But I always try to tell myself I am being the best momma I can be and that's what matters the most.
Tracy Anderson has new workout clothes available on her website. I'm digging them!

Sometimes babies have bad days. I know Sophie does. Could she be teething? Sometimes when Sophie starts cutting another tooth her whole schedule is thrown off.

That bathing suit looks so comfortable and cute! It's hard to find one with a waistband that doesn't squeeze your guts out! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with nap time! It's not easy stuff. Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day, Allison!
ReplyDeletei usually put my baby by the bathroom so she can hear the fan...she loves white noise and it helps her sleep. xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI just took our 7-month old on his second flight and he rocked it! I had recently heard about the travel boppy and was intent on ordering it - but couldn't get in on amazon. Then I came across a blow-up-travel my Breast Friend and got that. It was awesome! Good luck!
