A new trend (that I happen to be 100% behind) is the "push present". For those of you who don't know, a push present is a gift given to the woman who just carried a baby inside of her for 9 months and then literally "pushed" it out of her. The name isn't great because obviously mamas who get C-sections should get a gift too so it could called a Labor Present or something more general, but I digress. To put it simply it is a gift that is given by the father of the child to the mother of the child basically saying "thank you for going through hell to have this child". Sounds great right? Not according to mom shammers!

When you become a parent there are lots of things that you expect will happen and then you get hammered with a bunch of things you'd never expect to happen. One of those being, my 1 year old LOVES hard boiled eggs. Like, is this normal? As the hubby likes to say, "eggs are her favorite fruit" and since we've been hard boiling so many eggs I've decided to share the one major tip for how to get those hard boiled eggs peeled quickly and painlessly.
I'm back with another quick and easy recipe that showcases how creamy Heinz NEW Real Mayonnaise is. This time I'm making a chicken salad sandwich.
By now you may have noticed that I consider my dog an important part of our family. I've thrown birthday parties for him and I described how I felt he prepared me to be a human mom, since I was already a dog mom. When we found out we were pregnant, we knew A LOT was going to change for our four-legged friend. But one thing I knew for certain? I was NOT going to kick him out of our bed.
Once family and friends know labor has begun and there will soon be baby, they wait with bated breath for the first picture of the little cutie. Dads are snapping away from the moment the baby comes out and back in the "old days" the first photos taken of baby were of he or she on the scale and then wrapped up all nice and clean in a blanket. But now with "skin to skin" being the new recommendation, these are the first photos that are taken and subsequently shared. Quite frankly. I think it needs to stop.
Heinz has released their new Real Mayonnaise made from 100% Cage-Free eggs, it's "deliciously creamy". Available in squeezable bottles or screw-top lid jars, Heinz Real Mayonnaise is "Crafted to be more like Homemade". What better way to showcase creamy mayonnaise than in a super simple, 3 ingredient egg salad?
When comparing my second pregnancy to my first I've noticed a few differences; I'm getting less sleep, I find myself forgetting to drink water, the first time around I ditched caffeine almost entirely but this time I am having my allotted milligrams most days and overall I just haven't had time to stress over (and over think) every little thing during this pregnancy (mainly because I was looking after a 1 year old). The biggest difference though came in the form of a question I was asked more times than I'd imagine.
I know, I know. I can already feel you rolling your eyes at the title of this post but just hear me out. Having been a dog mom first, I can honestly say there are distinct similarities between having a dog and having a child.
