5 Home Dates For New Parents

Leave a comment

Before becoming a new parent my husband and I would have date night at least one night a week. Now that a new baby is in the mix a date may be harder to schedule and to be honest we don’t want to go anywhere without our little one. I am sure many of you moms can relate to this. With that being said my husband and I have come up with home date nights. Today, I am sharing 5 at home date ideas that you may love.

5 Home Dates For New Parents-2

 

Cook together: To me this one is a given. My husband loves to cook and me not so much, but it is fun when we do it together.

Movie Night: We both like pretty much the same kind of movies so this works well for us.

Binge Watch a Show: Definitely one of our favorite things to do. Netflix and Hulu are our best friends.

Bake: We love to bake cookies and muffins. We especially love to do this late at night and enjoy them with a nice glass of milk.

Play Cards: We haven’t done this one yet, but we do want to learn to play more games so we definitely will be doing this soon.

If you have anymore ideas to suggest please do!

 

 

7 Things to Add to Your Baby Registry

Leave a comment

When I got pregnant I was SO EXCITED to register for all of the cute baby things. My husband and I literally had the best time doing this. Sometimes in the middle of the fun you forget to register for what you really may need. Today, I am sharing some things that I am so happy to have registered for.

What are some of your favorite registry items?

WubbaNub: This is something that I am sure most people register for. We have four of them. Lexi isn’t good at holding in a pacifier and the weight of the animal on the end really helps her keep them in.

Dr. Brown’s Bottles: Due to Lexi’s weak muscle tone and her being G-Tube fed, we found these bottles are great for her to practice sucking on. They make a preemie nipple that really helps.

Halo Sleepsack: This is such a great thing to have. It is easy to keep your baby feeling warm and snuggly without having to worry about loose crib sheets. Also, the fact that it zips up and down.

Boppy Newborn Lounger: We love this! It is so lightweight and a wonderful thing to use for tummy time.

Oxo Tot Wipes Dispenser with Diaper Pouch: This is such an incredible item. If I have somewhere quick to go to I will grab this and out the door we are.

Halo Bassinet: This is amazing so it definitely is a must have. I love how it vibrates and plays music to put your infant to sleep. My little girl loves it and instantly calms her down, well for the most part anyway.

Dekor Plus Hands-Free Diaper Pail: The fact that this is hands free is the best. Nice, fast, and easy.
