Our Baby is 1 .....  am truly in awe how fast this year has gone by. When I found out I was pregnant with Jacob our 2nd baby I did not know how being a mom of 2 would work, I had given my all to our first son 24/7 for the past 2 years at that time and too be honest I was nervous. Last year we welcomed Jacob with open loving arms and he has been the perfect addition to our family ever since.

Jacob: you are and will forever be my baby bear, you are mamas boy and love to snuggle, you sleeped though the night since day 1 (WHAT??!!), you always wake up happy and make us all laugh at your silly faces when you eat. We LOVE you beyond measure, Happy 1st Birthday.

 I came up with this "Boho Baby Bear Theme" all around the Paw Print design of Freshly Picked Mocs, I seen them and knew they would be perfect for our Baby Bear.

Honestly he does not like to wear shoes, but he loves socks so when we go out out we always put on a pair of Mocs and he seems to be ok with the compromise. Low and behold he took his took his actual First Steps today in FP Mocs !!!! from his first pair to his pair he took his first steps in I feel such a connection with FP and I'm so happy they were a part of his 1st Birthday.

We had a small celebration with close family this year since my husbands birthday is just a few days prior to Jacobs we took a family vacation to spend as much quality time with our boys as possible before the RUSH of the Holidays.


I had so much fun working with some really great shops for this, I love how one idea can become reality so magically!

Our Love For Freshly Picked Moccasins & A Giveaway!

I first discovered Freshly Picked when I was pregnant with Matthew, searching social media for cute, sensible items that I could not wait to purchase for my little guy! They have been a huge part of his wardrobe over the past 2.5 years we have gotten so many complements everywhere we go about how cute his shoes are, I could not agree more!

 

Our love for Freshly Picked goes far beyond how cute they are, if your toddler is anything like mine, his shoes are the first thing to go as soon as we get into the car or sit down for more than 2 minutes anywhere, my favorite part of Freshly Picked Moc's are they fit so well and they are so light that he doesn't even want to take them off! This is huge for me, it truly makes life so much easier for a busy mom, just slip them on and go!

Jacob got his first pair of Freshly Picked Moc's in Size 0, I mean how adorable are these Birch Moccasins the boys are wearing from the New Classic Collection !

What's In my Hospital Bag!

Well here I am ready to POP and I am finally packed and ready to go! The procrastination is part waiting for some of the items to arrive and part chasing after a 2.5 yr old wild man! I was packed and ready to go with him at 36 weeks (things change when you have a little person who "needs" you every time you close the door to do something.

 With that being said, here is what I packed in my Hospital Bag for baby #2!

 

  For Mama:

• Nursing Friendly Pajamas (2 pairs) I'm bringing nursing tanks and comfortable pj pants to be as at home as possible! 
  

• Hygiene I'm bringing Make-up, travel size shampoo/conditioner, body wash, Hair tie, Toothbrush and toothpaste, hairdryer. 

• Going Home Outfit Comfort is key for me! I'm bringing my Mother Hood Is My Muse Tee and Nursing Leggings by Blanqi  and I know I will basically be living in these leggings for the next 6 weeks of recovery time.

 

• Shrinkx Belly® Bamboo Charcoal c/o UpSpring
  I’m planning on wearing this immediately after delivery as it’s supposed to help shrink your uterus and eliminate excess fluid! The charcoal will help increase blood flow and speed healing in addition to shrinking swelling, yes!      

 

 

• Cozy Socks for during Labor I'm bringing a pair of cozy socks with rubber grips on the bottom in case I have to get up and walk around during labor.

• The Birth Gown c/o Della B. Mine is the Pink Harper, I am bringing this beautiful gown as it will definitely make me feel much nicer than wearing the very worn out gowns provided by the hospital, this gown has hidden features like the hidden front zipper that will make skin to skin and nursing a breeze after delivery. The material is so soft and light it will be so comfortable during labor, there are many different colors and styles to chose from.

 

For Baby:

• Diapers Honest Co  I know the hospital will have these but we love honest diapers especially for newborn skin as it is so sensitive! 

• Swaddle and Hat set c/o Milkmaid Goods I am bringing this as a result of missing out on a truly "Newborn" Hospital photo with Matthew, you don't realize how much baby changes in the first 24 hours until its to late and I would love to get hospital photos this time around in a cute swaddle.  

 

• Going Home Outfit/ Blanket I'm bringing footed pajamas because I want baby to be comfortable, I am also bringing a super cozy soft blanket for the ride home.

• New Classic Collection Mocs c/o Freshly Picked How perfect are these Classic Birch Moccasins from the new classic collection at Freshly Picked ! I have to bring these along to start photographing memories made in his new Moc's!                           
  
  

  Don't forget to tell dad to be too pack his overnight bag and have it ready as well, this is comfortable shorts and a tee shirt, toothbrush, sandals, extra pillow and going home outfit for my husband !
