Christmas Gift Guide – Toddler Edition!
December is here 😬 Christmas is quickly approaching. This is Lulu’s second Christmas, I have a feeling Christmas will be a sensory overload for her this year 😅 That being said, I am going to make Christmas morning as visually pleasing as possible. Let’s be real, at 17 months she will be all about the colors, the paper, the ribbons, the music more than the actual toys. She is already all about the Christmas tree! Hanging the ornaments was so much fun with her this year 😍 Before I even went shopping for Lucy I looked for the prettiest paper and ribbons. Hallmark makes the best bulk wrapping paper. The…

Flannel Crib Sheets!
Winter is well on his way and the nights are so very cold in our house ❄️ One way we cozy up the nursery is using the Vornadobaby Tempa Nursery Space Heater we love it and use it everyday. Another way we keep Lulu warm at night is to switch her summer crib sheets for some snuggly flannel crib sheets. Amazon has the cutest patterns for flannel crib sheets. I just couldn’t resist this adorable pink Christmas pattern. They also have this pattern in blue for your little boy. Lulu loves to look at the animals and we talk about the snowmen and the reindeer, it’s a fun thing to…

New Baby – Bottles & Formula
Here comes the third post in my new baby series dedicated to my BFF Lola and her bundle of joy coming on New Years Eve! Lola asked me the question we all ask ourselves before giving birth, what if breastfeeding doesn’t work for me? Real talk, breastfeeding is HARD. I had very unrealistic expectations of breastfeeding as I’d known a few friends to breastfeed their kids with ease (or so I thought). Getting personal here, breastfeeding was very important to me, I knew the health benefits were essential to Lulu. I tried… but here is the thing, no one tells you beforehand how to breastfeed, how to pump, when your…

What’s in Lulu’s nursery?!
Switching gears today, and discussing Lulu’s nursery! When I was pregnant I referenced so many blogs for the “must haves” in your nursery. After accumulating way too much stuff I thought it would be nice to put together a blog of the essentials we use everyday! Frida Baby Humidifier with Diffuser and Nightlight – This humidifier is the best! I can add an essential oil for those times Lulu needs some aromatherapy, I love that feature. It holds enough water to last through the night, and lastly the built in night light is such a bonus. I highly recommend! Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine Night Light…

Making A Home OUR Home
Hello friends! Today on Our Pretty Life I will be sharing a bit about our entire home remodel. After weighing the choice to build or buy we ultimately decided on buying because we LOVED the plot of land and the location of the home and could not find open land that came close to meeting all our wants. We purchased our dream home in August of 2018, with every intention of remodeling it. Now that the remodel is said and done… we should have built 😅 I learned quickly how custom my taste truly was and that can be challenging when the house already stands. Let’s talk contractors, real quick.…
