Is it safe to have a big dog with new baby?

Ever wonder if having a big 95 lbs dog is safe with a newborn? This was our dilemma before our son came home. The trick is....NEVER forget about your fist baby....which is the dog. We always made sure he had his own time with us and taught him that the baby is a part of this family and he needs his space. Most dogs adapt fairly quickly. Our german sheperd loves my son and protects him everyone that comes over. One rule of thumb that we learned is to make sure that he know you are the BOSS. We trained him with treats when he behaved and listened. Dogs think black and white so clear and precise direction is key.

If you are still unsure and worried....contact your vet for more information. Here are some photos of my pup and son. :) Now they both share daddy attention!!!

Ladies....heres a chance to grab this fabulous diaper bag for $125.00!!

I love it because its light and the perfect size for all of my babies needs. Its great for day and night! Its functional yet stylish! We have 2 left!!!!

I learned that when your baby is from newborn to 6 months, you do not need a HUGE diaper bag. I carry diapers, pacifier, formula, change of clothes, wipes, few toys, bib, birth cloth, destin, changing pad and a blanket. This bag fits all these items and more for your personal belongings.

My sons 3 favorite blue things....to help sleep through the night!

Hi Everyone!

Do you ever wonder....when is my baby going to sleep through the night? I asked myself this questions for months and after trial and error...he was looking for 3 things....well 3 blue things. 1) pacifier 2) his blankie 3) sack. He needs all these items to calm him to a restful sleep. Pacifier....well thats a given...ALL babies love that. Blankie....I didn't give it to him until 1 month ago and now he cant sleep without it...even naps. Finally....the sack! Well with this freezing and cold temperature here in chicago, its good to keep the baby warm. My son is always hot but at night he likes it warm. He would sleep 6 hours and awake. Then, sleep another 40 minutes and awake. I couldnt understand why and I finally realized that he needed a sack to keep his legs and upper body warm. I was contemplating on a blanket but with SIDS, it wasn't an option.

Well.....I hope this helps you out there in need of ideas!

Of course EVERY baby is different.

Thanks for listening!

Its cold out there....how to keep warm without too much layering.

hello ladies!

its january and the coldest month of the year. i hate heavy coats and layering. makes you look fat and bulky. here are my fashion tips to keep warm but chic and stylish.

i have on a black thick sweater by plein sud(vintage designer no longer around) and poncho by tart(gilt.com and bought it for $79). i also have on thick leggings by poof and fur boots by bebe. my bag is by givency that i bought for $900 at a resale store in nyc. it was never used and brand new......my bargain of the month.

hope you like my tips! keep warm.

Kourtneys Style but for less.....

hello!

i have been obssessed with kourtney kardashians blog. love her style and the way she dresses her little boy mason. my little man is 3 months old hard to find cute clothes for boys....do you agree!?!?  i cant afford to spend what kourtney spends her on clothes and shoes so here is my look of the day for less.

leopard jacket from bebe....got it on sale for $35.
leggings bebe: $19.99
sweater from tj max: $19.99
boots(my luxury for the month) marc jacobs from bloomingdales: $595.00

diaper bag by mia bossi: $99.99
hat at bcbg: $48
paytons red sweatsuit at h & m: $10.99

paytons booties at gap: $5.99

i always spend a bit more on shoes and purses. i think they make more of a statement in fashion than designer clothing. plus....designer clothing are SOOO expensive. you can find cute looks at h & m, bebe, bcbg and tj max(you really need to spend some time there tho digging).

stay tuned for my next look!!! thanks for visiting.
