A Room Up Grade With Delta Children!

This post is sponsored by Delta Children, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies we LOVE. 

Our 2 Superheros got an up-graded room just in time for Christmas ! How amazing is this Avengers Upholstered Twin Bed

, I had kept the boys pretty neutral until now mostly because I wanted to see what characters they would take a liking too. 100% both of them are ALL about Spiderman and everything Avengers.

I am SO HAPPY we did this for them, the bright vivid colors on these beautiful beds really spark the imagination and set the fun feel to the room.

 Matthew had no words but WOW and Jacob could not asking us if this was his, we could not be happier with how everything pulled together in their shared room.

The foot-bored has this amazing 3D Iron Man that we love, the colors and detail are truly gorgeous.

As a Mom I love the padding on the bed, of your kids are like mine they toss and turn 100 times at night and I don’t have to worry about them hitting a hard bed rail. Avengers Upholstered Twin Bed

If you are looking to give your littles a gift they can enjoy all year and for many more years to come, a room make over is a great idea!

Traveling to CUBA with kids

If your new here, Hi ! I’m Amy and this is my space to share life with my Boys! We love to travel as a family as crazy as it sounds we love to explore new places while wrangling our two sons.

My Birthday is the end of August and my Husband surprised me with a trip to Cuba via Cruise the best way to travel if you ask me 🙂 we hopped aboard he NCL Sky a ship we have been on multiple times before.

The next morning we woke up in beautiful Havana! I must say I’ve been anxious to go since the cruise line opened the opportunity up from Miami but didn’t know what to expect since much of everything we’ve herd over the years had been negative.

If you can tell by the smiles, it was none of those things ! Havana is a staple out of history, you step out of the port and feel as if you’ve entered a history book or something, it’s a feeling like no other ! The cars and sounds of old horns was like music. Of course there was music and dancing! The people of Havana are some of nicest most welcoming people I’ve ever met.

We took a car tour around Havana and seen the historic sites !

I definitely recommend taking the tour by car, our driver Jorge was so nice and took his time explaining everything to us.

We felt 110% safe in Cuba since that is he number one question I get, of course like any traveling situation you have to use your common sense but as far as feeling in safe in Cuba, Yes our experiences was great!

I highly recommend, taking the Cuba cruise though NCL as we have always had a great experience with them! The service never disappoints.

Hope you enjoyed learning a little more about our adventures in Cuba!

XO

Whisbear at Prego Expo Tampa!

There is a very exciting event coming to Tampa July 29, 2018! The Prego Expo will be at the TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER 333 S Franklin St Tampa, FL 33602 with one of my all time Favorite baby products, Whisbear!!

Whisbear was created by two sleep-deprived moms 3 years ago to help with the biggest challenge of parenting – lack of sleep. What started small, has been an overwhelming success. Our products are loved by parents in 30 countries and we debuted in the US last year. We have been supported by Google Campus for Moms. Whisbear is available at Nordstrom, Barnes & Noble, Buy Buy Baby and Amazon.

Whisbear has changed the sleep

Struggle in our home completely around ! My youngest son has never really had a issue falling asleep, rather staying asleep since the noise level with my older one always turned way up. Once we started using Whisbear he has stayed asleep 2+ hours for his nap times and though the night for months.

We are so excited that Whisbear will be here in Tampa, FL on July 29,2018 at Prego Expo !! This is hands down one of my favorite baby/ toddler items right now. GET 10% OFF You might have heard about Whisbear this summer because (as some reporters put it) it “prompted Princess Kate to say that she needs more babies” – the announcement about the 3rd royal baby followed 2 months later.

Whibsear emits Pink Noise, which is a sound like white noise, but gentler, more pleasant for babies. Whisbear has a CrySensor that reacts to baby’s cry. Its legs are designed for safety – you can easily attach Whisbear to a stroller or crib. It’s also a sensory development toy that grows with your baby.

Want to hear more? Here’s a short message to other moms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVEO-oaRA54&t=37s

Hope to see you at Prego Expo Tampa !

XOXO

Father’s Day Delivered 4 easy ways to celebrate!

This post is sponsored by Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites but the

content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Lets hear it for Dad! Let’s be honest our perfect day is a day spent at home without a “To Do” list or alarm clock ringing, at least in our house it is.

My idea for this Father’s Day is to simply find ways to help him enjoy the day with out anything expected or planned, after all we do LOVE our time at home just playing in the living room tents and staying up past our bedtime.

I am huge on saving where and when I can so for me saving time and money feels like I have won the jackpot! I use subscribe and save on Amazon to save time and money and with two young kids you can imagine is a WIN!

Huggies Has been my go to diaper since I had Matthew, we love the quality and dry they stay even after a bit of time.

I am going all out this Fathers Day and by all out I mean we’re staying in!

1. Have groceries delivered to cook Dad up his favorite breakfast!

2. Have a couple of the kids drawings printed, framed and delivered as a special gift.

3. Have diapers delivered, no one wants to do a diaper run in the middle of our epic Father’s Day at home. Give Dad a break from diaper duty, “Honey, can you?” Will be more “Honey, I’ve got it ! ”

4. Order in a late night movie rental, after the kids go to bed I will show my husband how much he’s appreciated by letting him pick out the movie 🍿

Thank you for taking a little insight into our Father’s Day plans this year ! There is still time to order some extra Huggies and taking on an extra diaper change for Dad!

Birth, Breastfeeding & Baby Gut Health

This post is sponsored by Evivo, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Along with celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend I thought it would be a perfect Opportunity to share more about something often overlooked and not spoken enough about Babies Gut Health !

1) Birth- birth is beautiful, giving birth to my first baby I went in not know much about anything. Sure I read the standard books and had general knowledge but overall I feel I wasn’t informed enough ( you’ll never feel fully prepared in my opinion) but helping moms feel a bit more prepared would certainly ease some of the nerves.

2) Breastfeeding- Breastfeeding is not easy by any means and it is a different journey for every mother and every baby! My first basically refused Breastfeeding he only got very little from it and went to a bottle within his first three months and I wish I had felt (this was ok) but I thought I did something wrong, I didn’t ! He preferred the bottle and that was ok. My second son was the complete opposite, he latched almost instantaneously and has done spectacular with breastfeeding it has come very natural this time and that’s ok as well!

3) Baby Gut Health- when you give birth you feel like baby is born with everything he or she needs (at least that’s what I felt) in doing research and coming across Evivo I have learned that we are born with a sterile Gut and only 1/10 babies are born with the super important B bacteria a good bacteria that helps babies immune system! With Evivo you give your Baby this very important good bacteria with a once a day easy to dispense package you keep in your home refrigerator.

This is such a convenient way to give baby and Mom a piece of mind that your doing everything you can to give them the best possible start to a healthy Gut!

I have a great savings for you (see code below)

Kitchen Update Our MR DIRECT Farmhouse Sink.

This is a Sponsored Post with MR DIRECT all opinions are my own.

It’s time to for a kitchen update !! Thank you all SO much for your sweet comments on Instagram, I would love to share some details of our new Farmhouse Sink in our remodel.

As you can see we are not 100% finished, as with every good remodel there are a few things that got delayed like our special order 18″ dishwasher that was back ordered 6 weeks ! Yikes ! Overall we are nothing short of ecstatic about our new Farmhouse Style kitchen!

All about our beautiful new kitchen sink

This is the MR DIRCT 407L Farmhouse Sink made from 16-gauge stainless steel, this sink is truly amazing when you think about how far kitchen sinks have actually come, this sink is fully-insulated to reduce noise, this is perfect for me as I am usually doing dishes after the boys are In bed.

We also got grids for both basins that I would truly recommend adding on as it not only improves the over all look but keeps your sink from filling up with that not so nice dish water.

This sink looks so nicely to a standard 36″ sink base cabinet with minimal alterations.

If you are having a hard time deciding on a farmhouse sink, go with MR DIRCT! Our farmhouse sink came packaged so professionally!!
