Raise your hand if you own a high waisted bikini 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m guilty of owning way too many 😅 I realized that my swimsuit collection is filled with pretty skimpy suits 😆 Soooo I had to do some shopping for “family friendly” bathing suits and I have to say I’m in love this one! I’ve been wearing this since 1 month PP and it’s so comfy!⁣

Wishing our family vacation was as perfect as this flat lay 😅 We booked the cutest Airbnb then ended up having to leave because the AC broke the first night 🥵⁣
⁣
Anywhoooo...I love rash guard swimsuits for Vivi because it helps protect her from the sun better than sunscreen. Although we do love our BabyBum Mineral Spray (non aerosol and MUCH better for your littles). ⁣⁣

#AD Post partum hair loss is the WORST! 😆Amiright?! I’ve been using @pureauty_naturals Biotin Hair Serum to help promote thicker and stronger hair. They use biotin, D Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Pisum Sativum Pea Sprout Extract, and other active ingredients and nutrients to enhance healthier looking hair. #HairForDays Which is what all of us new mamas need right?😅 #MyBiotin #BeautifulHair @pureauty_naturals⁣

It seems like when breastfeeding, it’s a constant battle of your milk supply dipping and it’s SO stressful right? I had researched every way to increase my supply and that’s when I found @boobiebar 🙌🏻 Their products use natural milk-boosting galactagogues such as tumeric and moringa (which are superfoods regardless of breastfeeding or not). We love the Peanut Butter Boobie Bars 😍⁣
⁣
Since I found @boobiebar to be so helpful in my year long breastfeeding journey, I figured why not giveaway this @boobiebar sample box (value of $200)! Just in time for #worldbreastfeedingweek 🤱🏻⁣

An estimated 40.3 million people are trafficked and exploited each day. Did you know children make up 25% of that?! That’s about 10 million children PER DAY. I’m sure you’ve heard of celebrities and powerful people being exposed of their involvement, if not then I suggest you research it. But there’s so many others taking children and using them for unthinkable acts. It must end. We must be a voice for those who don’t have one. #wherearethechildren ⁣

I’m pretty sure I’ve aged 5 years since having Vivian 😅 sooo I’ve been taking @maryruthorganics Vegan Collagen Boosting Gummies for a few weeks now and love them! 🍉 Collagen is what provides structure to your bones as well a major component of connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, skin & muscles). AKA helping reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process. 🙌🏻⁣

One of my favorite things about traveling is how perfect the beds look when you first get to your room!? 😌 I always just want to lay right on it and sleep for 10 years... or maybe that’s because I’ve been sleep deprived for the last year 😂⁣

BEST outdoor toys for Toddlers 🙌🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We’ve dramatically limited what we do since March so having things for Vivian to do has been important for my sanity 🙈 ⁣(FYI, I linked a bunch of outdoor toys on my LTK)⁣
⁣⁣
• @radioflyerinc 4 in 1 Tricycle- I love that we can push her around and she LOVES this thing. Also will turn into a regular trike when she’s ready. 🚴🏻‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
• @thestep2company Water Table- This is so easy to set up without having to fill up a pool. The options are endless with it, you could even fill it with sand once they’re older. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
• Good Ole Kiddie Pool- We have a $10 plastic one and she seriously loves it. Make sure you brush up on any water safety!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
•Chalk- Believe it or not, she likes to draw like mommy on the ground. Although by the end she usually just is treating them like balls lol.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☀️What toys or activities have you been doing to keep your kiddos busy?!⁣⁣

⁣It’s not surprise that as a mom and wife, my main goal is to keep us all from getting sick. #sponsored So it’s also no surprise that I use @maryruthorganics Elderberry Syrup. It contains fiber, vitamin A, potassium and vitamin C which all help build a strong immune system. I add it into our smoothies or tea since it literally tastes like blueberries! ⁣

Raising a toddler is challenging. ⁣ ⁣ Raising

Raising a toddler is challenging. ⁣
⁣
Raising a toddler in a pandemic is even harder.⁣
⁣
We have pretty much been quarantined since March but when things started to open back up last month, I started arranging play dates with a few friends who have kept safe as well as play groups at @littleplayplacetampa . Vivian is at such a social age where she feeds off of interaction. Unfortunately now that our whole house is down with COVID-19, we have completely locked down since last week and will continue to do so for a few more weeks. ⁣
⁣
She is yearning for interaction and play. I feel myself getting frustrated easily and overwhelmed. She wants to climb, play, make a mess and some days I. Just. Can’t. Do. It. And those days are okay. Some days I’m super mom doing sensory activities and some days she watches tv for hours. Just reminding myself that this is pure survival and taking it day by day.

Think wearing a mask doesn’t apply to you? Think

Think wearing a mask doesn’t apply to you? Think again. My hard working, loving and amazing husband thought this and is currently fighting off Covid-19. It is difficult to watch your loved one quarantined to a bedroom, suffering, and unable to help them. There is so much unknown with Covid. You don’t know how your body will respond, how long you’ll have it, whether you’ll be on a ventilator or not. ⁣
⁣
Florida reopened on May 1st and we have precautiously started resuming activities such a bike riding on the river walk, drinks at our favorite outdoor spot, and going to the gym. We selfishly were not wearing masks and 4 days later, my husband had a fever of 103°. 2 days after that, he tested positive for COVID-19. He fought a fever for almost 5 days. ⁣
⁣
Ya know what the doctor told him to do as treatment? Go home and quarantine for at least 11 days. If you’re symptom free by day 11 for at least 3 days then you can resume public activities. That’s it. No follow up testing. Nothing. ⁣
⁣
Wear your mask and stop complaining. ⁣

*this photo was the weekend prior to him being sick.
