How We Got Sleep With a Newborn

The hottest comments and questions after having our baby were all about sleep... 'How many hours of sleep are you getting?', 'Is he sleeping the night?', 'Make sure you sleep while the baby sleeps!' and my personal favorite... 'you look so tired'. 

As first time parents, we had no idea what to expect. Our goal was to keep this child alive during the newborn stage which was all just a blissful blur! The first few weeks are a mix of sleepless nights, diaper changes, frequent feedings and oh the sweet cuddles. On top of that, you're trying to heal, cope with your emotions, and make sure your baby is fed. If you're breastfeeding that's a whole different challenge in itself. After so many comments from everyone on sleep, I knew that I was going to do everything I could to make sure I slept as much as I possibly could during this phase. I need sleep to function. If you're like me, I hope you find a thing of two in this post to help make those sleepless nights a little easier. 

List of Labor Day Sales

Happy Labor Day Weekend!! I'm in shock that summer is already coming to an end! Time slowed down big time during quarantine in the Spring and then went a million miles an hour since things started to open back up around here. We have nothing special planned, just lots of family time and I'll definitely be shopping some of these sales to stock up on fall staples, baby clothes and home furniture! As always, I'll also be sharing lots of specific sale items on Instagram stories and the LiketoKnow.it app throughout the weekend so make sure you check them out.

2020 NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE GUIDE

It's that time of year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is upon us and there are great finds for everyone. Whether you're looking for sweaters and booties to upgrade your fall wardrobe, jeans, baby necessities like my favorite stroller and car seat, or the latest in home decor to refresh your space, the NSALE 2020 has a little bit of everything for everyone I've got you covered!

There is a lot of hype around the sale because it is opposite of any other sale-all the new arrivals are on sale for a period of time before going to full price where normally sales are the opposite and you get discounts on items that are going out of season. I cover the sale every year, but please don't feel pressured to buy a single thing! Times are so strange right now and the last thing on your mind may be buying the latest cardigan. Every year, I work hard to create a guide to do the hard work for those that are shopping the sale, so this is just that :) Thank you for allowing me to be your resource and for supporting my blog!

I WILL ALSO BE UPDATING MY LIKETOKNOW.IT ACCOUNT THROUGHOUT THE SALE. LOVE THAT YOU CAN "HEART" YOUR FAVORITES INTO A FOLDER FOR WHEN YOU'RE READY TO SHOP. ALSO ALL THE COLLAGES IN THIS POST ARE SHOPPABLE. JUST CLICK TO PRODUCT OR PINK WORDS TO GO TO THE ITEM.

How to Increase Your Breast Milk Supply

Breastfeeding is no walk in the park! I feel like when I was pregnant, everyone warned me about the horror of labor but between getting pregnant, morning sickness, not being able to walk then all the postpartum and breastfeeding fun that comes after birth, labor and delivery was the easiest part! (If you missed my labor story, you can read it HERE). For today's post, I want to give you a list of all the breastfeeding tips and tricks I've been given to help increase your milk supply.

Tips For Working From Home

Trying to be productive at home with a newborn and Netflix calling my name during quarantine has been quite the challenge. After soaking in all the newborn bliss and doing absolutely nothing else for the first weeks of quarantine (which was absolutely amazing) I decided it was time to tackle that to-do list. That to-do list was quite overwhelming that's for sure with

What's in my Shower?

Maternity Photos- Black Maxi Dress From Amazon

It probably would've made more sense to get these maternity photos up on the blog before Luke's birth story, but better late than never :)

Baby Luke's Birth Story

It's been just over two weeks since baby Luke made his entrance into the world and lit up our lives. He was born on 02/22/20 at 12:05 AM, exactly a week before his due date which actually fell on Leap Day this year! He has been such an angel baby and we still can't believe he's ours. We laugh at who we have become because all we do is talk about how perfect he is, and when he's napping or we're eating, etc we end up looking at videos/pictures of him haha! You can say we're a little obsessed with him. It's true, your heart really does double in size and we thank God for our healthy, beautiful miracle.

This post is sponsored by Ferrero Group. The opinions and text are all mine.

Happy almost Valentine's Day! We are finally starting to settle in our home and baby boy is due in less than a month which has made this Valentine's Day super special. This will be our seventh Valentine's Day together and we have done everything from nights in, to dinner out, and trying out something fun like go- carting. Since we have been so busy the last few months, we are going to keep it a low key Valentine's Day around home. If you're planning an evening in, surprise you lover with a box of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature Fine Assortment Chocolates and plan for a romantic night in. Keep scrolling down to see a few ideas you can do for a night in on Valentine's Day. 

PS! You can get your box of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature Fine Assortment Chocolates for $1 off at Walgreens from now until Valentine's Day in the candy isle using the coupon found HERE. 

Bump Friendly Floral Dress

Since I've been pregnant, aside from a few necessities, I have not invested much in maternity clothes. I love wearing oversized tops and flowy dresses in general, both which make great pieces I can wear with the bump and later when baby is here.
