Frugal Living for your Modern Family
When I first learned that I was expecting, I felt happy, scared, excited, overwhelmed, and lost. I think every new mom feels this way. I felt comfortable enough with my doctors to ask any and all questions about pregnancy and what I should be doing for myself and my baby. But I still had questions when I got home or things would come up and I wanted answers right then and there. I found the best resource for expecting moms when I came across the book, What to Expect When You’re Expecting.
This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I received product free of charge, but all opinions are 100% mine.
Babies have a way of bringing out the best in all of us. Once you have a baby you only want to do what is best for them and give them a better life than what you had ( even if you have a great life). There are so many things that we can do to make life #BetterForBaby, even if you don’t have children yet. It is not just making things better for babies but making the world a better place in the process.
I have made it one of my missions to get my kid’s clothes for free or at the very least 90% off the original price. I have a little girl, so of course I could have gone crazy buying adorable clothes for her. I learned very quickly that things get ruined from stains or she just grows out of them so fast. Why am I going to spend a fortune on clothes when she is only going to wear them for such a short time? This is how I get my daughter’s clothes for free or really cheap. I’m talking about name brand, cute, quality clothing!

I have mentioned before that I had a baby with colic. My daughter had colic for the first 6 months and it was one of the most trying times in my life. I have never felt so helpless and like I was failing at being a mom. Looking back I realize that there was nothing I could do but try to soothe her. I became an expert on how to soothe a baby with colic. If you are a parent struggling, know that you are not alone and that it will get better. In the meantime, try some of these methods to see if they help both you and your baby.
