The Cutest Clothes For Little Explorers: Baby Bear Outfitters

Thanks to Baby Bear Outfitters for sending over these cute pieces of clothing to include in my Baby Shower Gift Guide, regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

If you've been following the blog lately you may have came to the realization with all of the items I've been sharing that I'm a bit of a clothes hoarder when it comes to Delainey... but can you blame me with all of the cute items available for little girls? There's plenty of pink in her wardrobe and possibly WAY too much gold, especially if you ask my hubs... but I think she could use a few more items!

While she has such a great collection of clothing and it's all worth talking about, you really will understand my addiction to tiny pieces of cuteness when you check out Baby Bear Outfitters. Let me warn you, you are going to want to snag a few pieces of clothing for your little one's wardrobe (or maybe the next bestie of yours that is expecting) - it's all so cute, you won't be able to resist!

Baby Bear Outfitters offers a wide variety of everything adorable, so it was really tough to narrow down what to include in my gift guide! I finally decided a mommy & me set seemed like the perfect addition as well as a very special gown just for our princess to wear when she's "brand sparkling new" in the world!

The mommy & me set from Baby Bear Outfitters is the perfect mixture of adorable and comfortable, everything a new mama & baby could want! This mama bear is in love with her new set and while my baby bear still has a little bit longer left in my belly, I'm so excited to have her rocking this adorable onesie in just a handful of weeks! I imagine these additions to our wardrobes will get regular use, because what could be cuter?

Well, I think I know maybe one item in her wardrobe that is cuter... her "Brand Sparkling New" pink gown! This little beauty is going to be one of her first and most fashionable get-ups to wear once she makes her appearance in the world. With a gorgeous gold detail printed on a perfectly feminine gown, she will be the talk of the town once she arrives and dawns this beauty and I wouldn't want it any other way! Paired with a headband made to match, I'm in love with this super comfortable addition to her wardrobe and can't wait to share photos of her in it while we are at the hospital.

While these few items are just the cutest, I can't help but checking out Baby Bear Outfitters Etsy shop and planning what I'll buy little Delainey next. Chloe is the girl behind the shop and she's actually a wedding photographer based out of Utah who started her shop after making a few items for her little bundle of joy and the adventure of Baby Bear Outfitters began there. With her great love for the outdoors and a good adventure, her shop blossomed into the inspiring beauty it is today - full of creations made for people with a similar mindset. Plus, if you're looking for something customized, give her a shout - she's a creative genius capable of making your dreamy visions into a reality.

So tell me, are you a mama on the hunt for an adorable outfit? Click on over to Baby Bear Outfitters and you'll find some of the most trendy and fashionable items to add to your little one's wardrobe. I'd love it if you let me know which item in her shop is your favorite in the comments below, it may just end up in Delainey's closet next!

A Baby Shower Gift Everyone Will Love: I See Me! Personalized Children's Books

Thanks to I See Me! for sending over these adorable, customized items to include in my baby shower gift guide,
regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

Ever since I can remember, books are something I've always been pretty fond of. Story time was my favorite time of the day in Pre-K and I've been a bit of an over-buyer when it comes to trips to the book store. My husband has always been the same way, story time with his mom was something he looked forward to and when he grew up he found a sense of comfort in books. While there are plenty of amazing hobbies to have, reading is one of my favorites that we share and one that I really want to encourage Delainey to partake in. We can't make her have a specific hobby, we plan to read to her often and hopefully influence her to love books just as much as we do.

We have a growing collection of books in her library already and we even asked guests that attended our baby shower this weekend to bring a book instead of a card, which greatly expanded her library! She now has some of the classics, an amazing amount of new books, and even a few books I've never even heard of but look forward to reading with her!

While we have an amazing stash of books now, I have a feeling I know which ones will always be her favorites... Her personalized Snuggle Bunny book and her personalized ABC What I can be book! How do I know these books will be loved so dearly? They are books specially written about her made by I See Me!

The Snuggle Bunny book actually came as part of a set that includes the most adorable snuggly bunny stuffed animal and a placemat that's equally as cute. The story is all about the 10 different ways this cute little bunny loves your child, with their name sprinkled through out the book and beautiful illustrations to match!

Whether your son's name is Jacob or your daughter's name is Hannah, you'll be able to have to book customized to include their adorable name and it'll be one of their favorite night time stories for life. My little niece was gifted this book by my grandmother and it's one she constantly grabs to read at night, even though she's 3 years old and has read it almost every night since she was born. Plus, Snuggles (her little bunny) is her favorite stuffed animal that she owns... I can't wait until Delainey is here and we get to share the snuggly love with her too!

The other personalized book we ordered for Delainey explores different careers while also teaching her the alphabet in a fun way that includes her name on nearly every page! Whether she wants to be a gardener, a musician, a novelist, or a dentist, this book is a fun way to teach her while encouraging her to be whatever she wants to be and will be perfect for any little curious kiddo in your life!

I love that as she gets older she can recognize her name in random spots through out the book and learn to think creatively about who she will be when she's bigger. It's such a fun book and one that I think I may order for my niece as well so she can have another amazing book from I See Me!

While these two books are amazing, I suggest you take a look at the other options you can customize for your little one! If you want to get your little girl a personalized book about being a super incredible big sister or your niece a book about how she can change the world, I See Me! has the most amazing options and at a great price they make the perfect and most thoughtful Baby Shower Gift! They don't just make books either, your little one can get everything from a personalized lunchbox to coloring books and growth charts that have their name!

Plus, I See Me! is celebrating their 15th year anniversary of the book that started it all! You can get the 15th Anniversary Edition of My Very Own Name this year and celebrate with them!

So click here and check out the great selection, if you find something you just love, let me know what it is in the comments below... plus be sure to sign up here and receive their coupons in your email so you can score an awesome discount on your next purchase! I know I signed up right away, because I'll definitely be investing in a few more of these cute personalized books before Delainey arrives. As I said, I want her to love reading and having a huge stash of books is the perfect way to instill that!

5 Tips to Stay Healthy & Fit This Summer! #MomsLoveAmwell

Thanks to Amwell for sponsoring today's discussion, regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

Staying healthy during the summer time is easier said than done... with so many enticing sugary foods like ice cream and slushies and the heat defeating any notion of working out, it's easy to get off track with a diet and exercise plan. It's especially easy when your 8 months pregnant, so trust me, I understand!Whether your a fitness fanatic or a couch surfer, today I want to share 5 simple tips to help you stay healthy this summer.

1. Drink Water - Staying hydrated helps prevent illness, keeps your body healthy, helps maintain your weight, and fuels your daily activities. Since we're mostly composed of water and it's easy to get dehydrated in the heat, it's obvious why this is so important!

2. Catch Plenty of ZzZ's - Getting enough sleep is an important part of keeping your body healthy any time of year, so be sure to keep up with your sleep habits all year long! Spending enough time in dreamland can help protect your physical and mental health and quality of life, so why not let yourself sleep in a few days a week?

3. Eat Fresh - I'm not using a popular sub chain's slogan, I'm suggesting you buy fresh produce so you can reap the rewards! Not only can you find a wide selection of deliciousness in-season, your body will feel more energized and refreshed after eating fresh!

4. See Your Doctor - Save money and time using Amwell and see your doctor from the comfort of your own home! Using any electronic device (phone, tablet, or computer), you can visit with a professional and better health is literally in the palm of your hands. Whether you want to chat about your weight concerns, a recent problem with headaches, or your child's battle with pink eye, Amwell has professionals available 24/7 that can help make sure your body and mind are in tip top shape! That's why Moms love Amwell... it's quick and provides a peace of mind.

Set to become the "Amazon of Health Care", Amwell is the perfect way to treat illnesses conveniently. Want to give the service a try this summer? Click here & use the code TELEVISIT42 and your first "visit" will only be $1!

5. Try A New Routine - Hit up a local gym and try out a new class, find a swimming pool to do laps in, or even start doing yoga in your own home - trying a new exercise that keeps you cool while working up a sweat is the ideal way to stay fit during the hot, hot summer months!

So tell me, how do you stay fit during these hot, hot summer months? If you have any helpful tips to share, I'd love to hear all about them in the comments below... Plus, be sure to head on over to Amwell and visit with a doctor about ways you can stay fit this summer!

Keep Your Babe Healthy with a TemporalScanner Thermometer

Thanks to EXERGEN for sending over this super convenient thermometer and making my adjustment into mom life a little easier,
regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

No one plans for their little one to get sick, it's just not something any expectant or new parent wants to even think about... but it happens. I hope we never have to deal with a sick child, but there's a good possibility that she may some day get a cold and while I'm not looking forward to that day, I want to be prepared if (or when) it happens. I'm being rational though and I'm not going overboard and stocking our medicine cabinet full of infant meds, but I am going to make sure I know if my little babe has a bug immeadiately with the help of our fancy new TemporalScanner thermometer from EXERGEN.

What exactly is a TemporalScanner thermometer? It's a super accurate, non-invasive way to gauge my little darling's health, all from the comfort of our couch. There's not much I know about being a parent yet, but one thing I do know is that I want to keep my girl as comfortable as possible, especially if she isn't feeling well. I'm so glad to say that taking her temperature is just one less thing I have to worry about once she arrives and I think most expectant (or new) parents want that comfort as well!

One great thing about the thermometer is that if the bug spreads, I can use it to find out hubby's temperature and my own just as easily as I can find hers. It's a family friendly device and won't make any of us feel uncomfortable. With patented software and a quick swipe across the forehead, we can all accurately find out if we are feverish or not in just seconds flat!

Want to get your hands on one of these fancy new thermometers for your little one or maybe you want to invest in a worthwhile Baby Shower Gift that a mama-to-be can really get some use out of? The TemporalScanner thermometer is a great option for all mamas and can be found at several big box retailers! Get more information about the thermometer here!
