Five On Friday | Summer Lovin'

| One |



Homemade Baby Food. I have been making my own baby food using The Baby Bullet and I am so glad I chose to do this! I am totally not a health nut or someone who is all concerned about chemicals but I do know for sure that homemade baby food is so much better for Nora than store bought. I mainly wanted to do it because of the cost (so much cheaper!) but when I saw the recipes that are literally the food and water, I was even more excited to do it! Bonus that Baby Girl LOVES it!

4th. Having a baby makes me ten times more excited for every holiday. I have never been a huge lover of The Fourth of July. Sure I like seeing family, chowing down and watching fire works but it just has never been a favorite holiday of mine. Now that Nora is here I am pumped for the 4th! I can't wait for her to experience all of the fun things and to wear her precious outfit! #America

Daddy Lunch Dates. In December The Hubs took a new job (basically his dream job) and now only works 15 minutes from our house. That means in the summer he comes home for lunch every day! We love it so stinkin' much! On this particular day we were running errands and met him at Arbys! Our gal is lucky to have such a great daddy!

Packing. Holy Cow packing for a trip is already a lot to do and no fun but adding a baby to that mix is insane! The fact that she now eats solids once a day means a whole new category of things to pack! We are going to be gone for 3 days for The 4th and it is blowing my mind the amount of things Nora needs. I don't even want to think about how much stuff I will have to pack for her when we go to Seattle a week from today... I'm worn out just thinking about it!

Cart Cover. So I ordered Nora one of those cart covers and we tried it out the other day. I am not a germ-a-phobe by any means, I really wanted the cover so I could ditch the pumpkin seat! That thing is too big, Nora doesn't like it and I run into things like crazy when I have it on the cart. This was the perfect solution and she loved in up until the last few minutes. But let's be honest, she can only handle anything in small doses right now #onlybeenalivefourmonths

Hi from the link-up!

Congrats to you Hubby for landing his dream job + a short commute! That's awesome. I hope you have a great visit in Seattle. We're only about 3 hours south of Seattle but rarely make the drive into the big city.

Happy July 4th Weekend!

Hello Tavia,

I really enjoyed reading your post! I totally get what you are writing about the 4th of July :) It's so funny how things change once you are a mother. Your baby looks so cute with the pulp in her face! I just started feeding vegetable pulp too. At the beginning my little one was not that happy about it. I figured she wasn't used to the tast, so I decided to mix it up with her Hipp formula. When I prepared it in front of her she finally would take it. I think it just also takes her some time to get used to. Yes and congrats to your man for his Job too!
How do you like it in Seattle so far? I need to get back some time soon too, I really like this city! I think it is a great place for families!
Yours,
Tamara
