Newborn Pictures - Worth it?♥

As a mother to three and only having one child get professional newborn pictures done, I highly recommend it. As an amateur photographer I told myself I would take my own newborn pictures. Let's face it, after delivery, all you want to do is SLEEP! And if your spouse can snap a few pictures that's great but what about the beautiful newborn pictures you see on Pinterest and Facebook? Don't wait. Hire a photographer! I had the opportunity for a great friend to swing by a few days after Ava was born and let's just say the results were INCREDIBLE! I am so thankful she offered to help me with pictures because honestly, I don't think I would have ever gotten to them and here she is a month old!

The Perfect Pregnancy Gift - Bump Boxes♥

I'm a sucker for monthly subscription boxes! I love getting all sorts of new things and truly find them so much fun. I knew the moment I heard about Bump Boxes, I had to give it a go. And let's just say, I wish I found out about them sooner because I am in love with them and all my new mommy products inside, which I can't wait to share with YOU! I think what I love most about Bump Boxes is they are tailored to your due date, hand-picked by their moms & conveniently delivered to your door. Total win win subscription box, if you ask me.

UpSpring Prenatal+ Gummy Review♥

"This review was made possible by iConnect and UpSpring. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions stated are 100% mine."

If you are like me and prefer a gummy prenatal during pregnancy, I highly recommend giving UpSring a try. UpSpring Prenatal+ is a complete multivitamin that also includes omega-3 DHA and choline (in the form of Alpha GPC), which are clinically shown to support fetal brain development. Alpha GPC is a highly bioavailable form of choline and the only form that crosses the blood-brain barrier to nourish your baby's growing brain. It also helps to enhance DHA absorption. This formula also contains the natural form of vitamin B9, folate, instead of synthetic folic acid. Enjoy three delicious mango-peach gummies every day plus one easy-to-swallow softgel. You get 100% of the daily value of 11 essential nutrients, plus brain-building omega-3 and Alpha GPC. Best of all, their gummy is easy on the stomach, so no tummy upsets!

It All Started With A Kiss♥

“This is a sponsored conversation from Mums the Word Network and The Stork OTC. All opinions are my own.”

Expanding our family is something that has always been on my mind. My oldest daughter is 9 and my youngest daughter is 5. I remember thinking about their age differences and questioning when was the right time to start trying again? My husband and I decided after we got married we would try ONE more time. Negative test after negative test, I wondered if something was wrong. Stress set in and my mind was all over the place. I would constantly look at my period app and plan accordingly. Until finally, I didn't get my period.
