Mom Life

Hey babes. First off I want to say I hope everyone is safe and sound with the quarantine. So crazy we have historical events we’ve only read about happening in front of our eyes. But God is good and he has an ultimate plan. Today I just wanted. To write a little bit about mom life. As I have been off work like others and just have been so grateful to be able to spend time with my little one. It’s always hard leaving her for a fulls day of work and you feel you miss out on so many milestones. It’s unfortunate that it’s happeninf under these circumstances but I’m so grateful. Mom life is HARD there is no lie to say it’s a breeze and a walk in the park. But seeing how they grow daily and just become independent is amazing. My little one is 8 months and she thinks she is grown y’all. It’s so funny but she always has a smile on her face. She is a bit sassy but I mean she gets it from her mom. We’ve spent a lot of time just playing and more trying to teach her everyday things. But I mean she’s 8 months there not much stimulation I can do and she understand. But I wanted to share some things we have been loving for her from food to bath time that I have been using over this period of time. Also wanted to break down essentials

One let me tell you babies are not cheap

My essentials 

• Baby formula (38.99) buy 2-5 cans at a time whew! 
• Baby bottles ( we use dr Browns)
• Diapers (pampers swaddles are my fave!) we buy these by the box ($24-$40 depending on count)
• Wipes( we use generic brand from either target or Walmart ($24 for a box) always get a box! You run through these fast!
• Bibs ( they spit a lot)

Non Essentials
