Nanny to Mommy

"The small, portable, fully self-contained, Respisense requires no external connections of any kind. The Respisense is a Tummy Movement Monitor that will indicate when motion is detected. If no Tummy Movement is sensed for 15 seconds the built-in stimulator will gently stir baby. Audible and visual alarms are activated if movement is not sensed within a further 5 seconds. Simply switch it on & slip it onto the diaper – IT’S THAT EASY. Respisense monitors can be used practically anywhere baby may fall asleep - in a crib, on a picnic blanket or in grandmother's lap. Co-sleeping babies, be they multiples in one cot or babies in need of special care, can now be monitored safely while sharing a bed. Respisense can also easily be used in a hammock-style sleeper, where traditional monitors cannot work. It is simply the safest, most portable and convenient instrument for monitoring baby's tummy movements and has, since 2005, proved itself in thousands of homes."

As many of you know, my sister-in-law recently had a beautiful baby girl. Having a newborn around can be crazy and chaotic. Through the hustle and bustle of adjusting to life with this new little person in the world, you need to manage to get birth announcements sent out.

But how does one manage that?



Tiny Prints has made finding the perfect birth announcement easy as ever with their unique birth announcements, matching address labels, thank you cards & gift tags. Tiny Prints is a premium online stationery brand with beautiful trend-forward designs. Tiny Prints Birth Announcements are truly unique so you can celebrate with designs as special as your baby.

They not only have beautiful birth announcements, but for the soon-to-be mamas, they have gorgeous, cute, and unique baby shower invitations! I know the new trend is to have a "Jack & Jill" baby shower (something I wish I would have done). And I just love this one pictured below. I think it is so fun!




Tiny Prints has every type of invitation imaginable. Twins, Neutral, Gender Reveal, Adoption. You name it, they have it.

I am so excited that Tiny Prints was kind enough to let me giveaway a $50 credit to their site!

I am sharing this giveaway as part of a campaign through Resourceful Mom Media. I did receive a credit to Tiny Prints for sharing. All thoughts are my own.

I was truly excited to receive the opportunity to review Sambazon Fruit Juices and Smoothies from Moms Meet. I have been on a health kick lately and have lost 35 pounds! And exciting as that is, I am getting tired of the same old thing. It's good for your body and diet to try and variety of different foods.

My daughter and I both loved the Sambazon Protein Acai Berry + Vanilla. It didn't look like a vanilla smoothie but it tasted like it. It was a great little pick-me-up after nap and before dinner.

How much money are you wasting by spending money on things you don't need? We think we need them because we are so addicted to them that we have convinced ourselves that we need them.

eBay has made this nifty quiz to figure out how much money you could save annually if you didn't smoke, drink alcohol, eat fast food, drink sodas, or drink coffee. The last was my worst vice.



Now I personally think name brand products can be vices as well. When you are on a budget, you can't afford to be brand specific. It is an unrealistic expectation. And if I hear another woman (who does all the grocery shopping) say she can't buy something because her husband likes a certain brand, I'm going to go crazy. My husband use to be brand specific on laundry detergent (for a period we had to be due to my daughter's skin allergies), bread, milk, and various other things. Those cost add up. I was doing the shopping. I bought what was on sale. That meant snack food only on special occasions. And you know what? he actually lost 10 lbs based on my efforts.

{Also being on a budget you should shop sales, but that's a post for another day all together.}



I could save over $800 a year according to this quiz if I didn't drink my daily cup of coffee. Now, of course, this quiz doesn't include my couponing efforts. And with taking care of two toddlers and working 12 hour days, giving up my one cup of coffee ain't gonna happen. But it was an eye opener to see how much we were spending.

Here is the link to the quiz, how much are you spending on your vices?
