Can you believe that the little Energizer Bunny is 25 years old this year?  I guess it’s true, he just keeps going and going and going…..nothing outlasts Energizer!

Energizer Bunny

He doesn’t look a day over 15 if you ask me!  Can you believe it was 25 years ago when the Energizer Buddy first strut his stuff across the television screen.  

Age has not slowed the Energizer Bunny down one bit.  Rather, it has motivated and expanded his personal mantra to that’s positivenergy™.  In the spirit of bringing that’s positivenergy™ to the world, the Energizer Bunny has inspired people to race for a brighter world through its one-of-a kind global nighttime running series to help provide solar power to people around the world who do not have access to safe and affordable electricity In communities across the United States, the Energizer Bunny is a beloved friend and partner to thousands of fire departments across the country to remind millions of people to change their smoke alarm batteries each fall as part of the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program.  And, as pink is the color of passionate breast cancer awareness supporters, the Energizer Bunny is there as the company supports cancer research efforts by donating more than $4M to the cause.

Safe Babywearing with Boba

When my little Ellie was born in 2011, it didn’t take me long to discover that she was happiest when she was snuggled up on me with her head against my chest so she could listen to my heartbeat.  Since I spent a lot of late nights up working, the easiest way for me to remain productive while still caring for her was to use a wrap and snuggle her up to me.  Little did I know that this would become her favorite thing to do for months to come. 

Ellie is the first baby that I had ever used a baby carrier or wrap with and I’ll admit, I was extremely nervous at first.  I read multiple articles online, read reviews on different products.  Did I want a wrap?  Would a ring sling work for us? What about a baby carrier?  Will a Mei Tai provide enough support?  These are all questions that went through my head.  In my research I learned that Boba is the only brand that sells inward facing only carriers.

After extensive research and a lot of YouTube videos later, I decided a wrap was best for us.  Since Ellie wanted to be close to me, using a carrier that allowed her to face inward and keep her near my heart where she could listen to a familiar sound.  

I have since learned that by wearing Ellie facing inward is best for both the psychological and physical health of my little one.  Also, by carrying baby facing inward, you are helping baby form a healthy attachment while also preventing hip dysplasia.  Discovering all of this made me happy that I had made the decision that I did.

Of course, from the pictures, you will see that I am not the only one who supports babywearing in our family, Alex is all for keeping his babies close to him too!

Babywearing is beneficial to both parents and baby by allowing you to stay connected to your child and create a strong bond.

Since Joey is our last baby, I am definitely doing my best to capture all of his first moments and milestones. Celebrating firsts is a huge thing in our house, especially now that these will be our last first moments.  Of course, there are always important first moments as a parent and my favorite is always meeting my little one for the first time.

This is me and Joey meeting for the first time.

Since birth, Pampers Swaddlers have been a part of Joey’s life and they will continue to be because they are now available through size 5!

Pampers Swaddlers are Pampers’ softest diaper ever and moms have always loved Swaddlers for their newborns. Now that they are available through size 5, baby can have a soft Swaddler on their bottom throughout the diapering years.

Evoking Memories with #SuaveScents

Now that the holidays are approaching, I am looking forward to all of the wonderful scents that will be filling our home.  Thanksgiving brings the smells I love the most….pumpkin, apple-cinnamon and cherry (pie). These scents always make me smile and get excited for the holiday season.  For some reason, the smell of anything apple-cinnamon or cherry automatically make me think of the holidays.  I think what draws me to the cherry the most is that I used to celebrate my birthday, also in December, with a cherry pie instead of cake.  I love those wary fuzzy memories.  Having that pie, just a week and a half before Christmas always got me excited for the holiday!

Thanks to Suave and their Suave Naturals line , I can keep some of these scents around all year long and they have a selection for everyone!

 

The Suave Naturals line is ready to help you prepare for your holiday guests this season.  Stock your guest bath and bedroom up with a little gift basket with a shampoo & condtioner, body wash and lotion for your guest in a scent you feel they would love.

For me, my go to scent is the Tropical Coconut.  I love the smell of it and the fact that it makes me think of the beach and want to be there right away.  I am hoping that one of these years, when we don’t have little kids at home, that we can spend the holidays somewhere tropical!

Until I get to that tropical island for a holiday getaway, I will continue to escape their in my dreams everytime I shower and use my Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner.

 

You can find the Suave Naturals line of products at Walmart.  Be sure to grab some today as you prepare for the holiday season.
