When I first heard of the smocked sleeveless Nap Dress I didn’t understand its popularity. I kept seeing it on Instagram and in blog posts but wasn’t sold. Why would someone would buy multiples of the same clothing item? (Other than a basic tshirt, that is.) But the same dress silhouette just in a different pattern or color? Fast forward a year… I own 3 of the Ellie dress from Hill House. It’s probably one of the most versatile items in my closet! It has a smocked bodice, smocked straps with …

Traveling with a Car Seat: Tips & Tricks

Traveling with little ones is kind of daunting at first. But I promise once you get the hang of it you will want to go everywhere on your bucket list! A huge question in traveling with babies or toddlers is about the car seat. What's the best car seat to travel with on a plane, in particular. As we're getting ready to travel by air again soon, I thought I'd share what worked well for us with our first child (in the before times).

6 Best Bamboo Baby Pajamas You Can Buy

I didn't find out about bamboo pajamas for baby until I had my second child. My older sister had found a pj brand and gave us a really cute matching sibling set of pjs.
