Summer Blog Challenge Day 35! {Talk About A Fear You Have!}

I am scared of everything. Seriously I'm such a scaredy cat! I don't like bugs, snakes, horror stories, and even the dark!I fear losing my family, or something terrible happening to my boys. But I'm going to tell you about a *strange* fear I have. 

I have a fear of music boxes!!!

Yup, I'm a weirdo, I know. I can't stand those things! I don't like being in the same room as one and if you wind one up you are going to see me freak out! Something about winding it up and hearing that creepy music, not knowing when it's going to stop gives me the heebie jeebies! I'm not sure what the name for this phobia would be but it's just that..a phobia! I can just see a music box and get goosebumps!!

What are you afraid of? Do you have any strange fears??

Medela Calma Review!

Medela is all about breastfeeding and helping moms to do it as long as they want to. They carry items such as breast pumps, cleaning supplies, storage bags, bottles, and even nursing bras! There newest product is the Calma nipple for feeding baby breastmilk with a bottle! 

I was super excited to review the Calma, but also somewhat nervous. Because Isaac does not like bottles. It took us a few months to get him to take a bottle from anyone..including his daddy and Nana (my mother)! He finally started taking them but only when I was nowhere around and it was his only option. So I was pretty nervous about him taking this one. But the Calma is actually made for breastfed babies!


The Calma: 

• Makes the transition from breast to bottle easily. With the Calma the baby is able to use the same techniques using the Calma as breastfeeding. 
• The milk only flows when baby creates a vacuum which also means it won't spill when turned upside down.
• The nipple can be used for all stages of breastmilk feeding

So the first time Isaac tried it I was there. He took to it right away and didn't have any issues with it. He gulped the milk right down! I was so excited! Then a few days later hubby and I had a date night and my mother was watching the boys, so this was the true test! He did fuss a bit at first but he eventually took the bottle for my mom and drank it right up! I don't think there was an issue at all with the bottle, but more of an issue that mommy wasn't there and he wasn't able to nurse. Of the bottles we have tried this was definitely the easiest to get him to take and seemed to be the easiest for him to adjust to! 

I love that this bottle makes the transition to a bottle easy for my breastfed baby! I love that it is made for the breastfed baby and works very similar to breastfeeding! And most of all, I love that Medela is looking out for the breastfed babies and their moms by providing amazing products like the Calma!

Summer Blog Challenge Day 33! {Summer Plans!}

Today we get to talk about our summer plans! 


We've already been to Myrtle Beach for a short vacation at the end of May! That was super fun for us! But currently Brian is training for his new position so he's working a lot. So we've just been hanging out at the park, the pool, and doing things at home. At the end of this month he will be going away to Florida for two weeks for more training. In the middle of those two weeks myself and the boys are going to drive down to my father-in-laws which is close to where Brian will be (and at the beach!) and we'll meet him there for the weekend so we can see him!!

Then in mid-August we are going to Panama City for a whole week for vacation after Brian is done with his training! We are super excited about this trip! We are going with Brian's mom and boyfriend and will be staying right on the beach! It's going to be lots of fun! 

Some Fun Events I'm Participating In!

I'm super excited for two giveaway hops that I'm participating in at the end of this month and next month!

The next event I am participating in is in August and it is called the Accessorize Your Stash in August Giveaway Hop hosted by According to Jenny and So Easy Being Green!

Summer Blog Challenge Day 31! {Something Eco-Friendly That You Do!}

Today's challenge is to talk about something that you do that is eco-friendly.

This one is probably pretty obvious if you read my blog but I think the most eco-friendly thing that I do is cloth diaper. I love everything about cloth diapering but I especially love that it's good for the environment. I love that I am not putting disposable diapers into the earth to sit there with all their toxins for years and years.
