Activity centers are generally a comfortable seat baby sits in surrounded by all sorts of fun things to stay entertained. If you’re anything like us, this little beauty is like baby …
If you’ve been following along with us lately, you know we have been struggling with what is commonly known as the dreaded “4 month sleep regression”. I don’t know if all babies go through this, but I know our little Olivia did not escape it. It typically lasts a couple weeks, but can last longer. …
Unlike America, shopping has stopped being great. And really, shopping was never truly great, just “sorta ok” when it’s just Brittany and I. But after having Olivia join us?
