What to Feed your Baby?

Baby James turned three months over the weekend and he is already looking forward to eating solids.

I kid you not, every time his sisters eat in front of him he stares and licks his lips. It's the cutest thing ever. Even though he wont be eating anything but milk for the next few months I have recently started searching for baby foods and came across HappyTot.

I was recently introduced to the company and I fell in love instantly! Here's why; This is an organic company that was started by a mom herself and it's currently operated by parents. All of their products have no artificial hormones, no toxic persistent pesticides and no GMO's.

Baby James cumplió tres meses durante el fin de semana y ya está deseando comer sólidos.
No bromeo, cada vez que sus hermanas comen delante de él, él mira fijamente y se lame los labios. Es lo más lindo. A pesar de que no comerá nada más que leche en los próximos meses, recientemente comencé a buscar alimentos para bebés y encontré a HappyTot.

¡Me presentaron recientemente a la compañía y me enamoré al instante! Este es el por qué; Es una empresa orgánica que fue iniciada por una madre y actualmente es operada por padres. Todos sus productos no tienen hormonas artificiales, ni pesticidas persistentes tóxicos ni OMG.

Reading Month with Youtube Kids

If you follow me on instagram and snapchat then you might've seen clips of me reading to my family. I do it quite often as I believe it is so important to instill reading to our kids from birth. Call me crazy but I use to read to Jayleen, Hazel and James while pregnant with them. After birth I would do the same as this opens a window of curiosity and feeds their creativity. 

Upcoming Event at Morey's Piers

Who remembers when Hazel had short hair!? I miss it so much and have been trying to convince her to cut it short again but she refuses to. While going through my photo library I found these photos of her when we visited Morey's Piers a few years ago. How things have changed since then. She now has much longer hair, has lost a few teeth in the process and is contemplating on getting a new pet... and speaking of pets; Morey's Piers is having a super cool pet friendly event.

New Kids Menu at Maman

If you watched my latest vlog you might remember that a few months ago Jayleen and I visited a retail market/restaurant called Marché Maman located on 237 Centre street open from 9am-4pm. 

I expressed my love via social accounts but never on the blog. Since then a few things have changed for the better and I had to share the news with you guys.

Starting today (August 1st) Maman is offering a kids menu!! That's huge news for moms all around New York City. Theres always a struggle when going out to eat with kids; Are they going to like the food? Are the portions too big for them? Do they have coloring placemats to entertain them? Ugh! If you're a mom then you can totally relate.

Now my girls can order their own mini version of avocado toast (which Jayleen LOVES) and grilled cheese made with homemade bread. Mmm. What's not to love? Did I mention they can enjoy these delicious items made with locally sourced ingredients while learning French phrases which are on the kid's menu. Now that makes for a fun time.

Keep it Classy

I'm sure you guys have noticed that I've been feeling very 'casual' lately. Comfortable sneakers and flats have become my best friends. These flats from J.Jill come in three different colors (dusty quartz; which is a beautiful baby pink, camel and black). They are super classy. I feel put together when I'm wearing them became they are flat shoes (with an itty bitty heel) that are comfortable but aren't sneakers.. you know what I mean? I can wear them with literally everything. They are also perfect for  always keeping in your bag and changing into when your feel are hurting from wearing high heels.

Baby James Arrival

What I think of minigrow

Yesterday, my family and I had the pleasure of trying minigrow for the very first time. 

minigrow is a healthful spin-off fast casual sensation 'honeygrow' known for noodles and greens. 

honeygrow has dozens of locations all over the US and minigrow already has three locations in NYC, one is Chicago and two other locations in Boston.

My First Bath

After discovering Mustela a few years ago I knew that if I ever had another baby I would be using this French skincare line on him/her. Since having James, I have been constantly using Mustela's lotion and cleansing gel. What I love aside from the wonderful scent and gentle products is that the brand not only caters to babies but also to mothers.

I will be two weeks postpartum tomorrow (Friday) and it still blows my mind how amazing I feel. We're currently spending Fourth of July week in Maryland at our favorite resort, Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina. We like to visit this place once a year but since so much has been happening over the past few months (buying a house, buying a car and getting pregnant) we weren't able to visit until now. Also, can you believe we just celebrated our one year anniversary in our house. It's crazy how fast time flies.

Say Hello To My Little Friend

The wait is finally over! Baby James has arrived! 

I can't even begin to express my feelings towards this little human whom I just met yet feel like I've known my whole life. He is incredibly precious and I feel extremely lucky to be his mama. I don't want to give anything away since I really want to write my birth story but I will tell you this much, he is the new love of my life.
