What Every New Stay-Home Mom Needs.

I am putting together this list of items that I cannot do without as a new stay-home Mommy.

1. Pack-N-Play with changer station and side storage for diapers, wipes, tissues, ect. This item is a must, it saves you so much time with changing a diaper since everything is right there. Plus the baby likes the cozy changer station and it's a good time to have her stretch and interact with her without worrying about getting pee or poop on a bed or couch.

2. The Fitness Ball is a miracle! This is not just a miracle, it's an investment. First and foremost you can sit on the ball with baby lying in your arms any which way really and bounce. The baby looooves it and if you want your baby fast asleep this is a sure trick, I promise. The ball can also be used during your pregnancy to ease back pain, also post-partum to do crunches to lose the pregnancy tummy pouch you're left with after giving birth. So do yourself a favor and buy yourself an exercise ball or put it in your baby shower registry.

3. A "Baby Sling" is key for a Mamma or Papa. Again this sling will save your butt so many times that you won't leave home without it. The thing is the best place to use the sling is at home. I use it at home because my little one won't sleep more than 30 min in her bassinet or swing. In the sling she sleeps 2 if not 3 hours! If you put the baby sitting up, with it's head/ear up against your heart your baby will be fast asleep and you'll be hands free to do what you please. Just be careful not to lean over, squish or cook in the kitchen with the baby in the sling. I saw a photo on instagram of Kourtney Kardashian cooking eggs on the stove with her baby in the sling! Being exposed to the stove tops flame, smoke or any hot oil popping off the pan isn't the best idea. Also good to check up on her to see if she's capable to breath easily and if her positioning of her neck, torso, and limbs are ok. The sling I use is Sakura linen sling. It's very soft and comfortable, perfect for hot weather, easy to clean, and somewhat fashionable ;) Other popular slings are top brands include Beco, ERGObaby, BABYBJORN, Boba, & BabyHawk.

4. A music player of any sort will calm your baby for at least 20-40 minutes. Anastasia was crying in the car and she's not a fan of pacifiers and I not being able to feed, change or rock her decided to play Classical music off my iPhone and she calmed down immediately. I was told by a man who heals with music says that babies are in harmony with Classical music and Reggae music. Bob Marley and Beethoven are my baby's favorite ;)

5. If you don't have a smart phone now I suggest you get one. Having a smart phone you can take decent photos and videos of your baby at that spur of moment where he/she is doing the cutest thing. I use my phone to read or browse on the web while my baby is sleeping in my arms. I like to go onto the social networks im connected to and get a quick look what's going on with friends and family. I also text my friends to have some sort of adult interaction without being on the phone. I have a bunch of shopping apps and I use my phone to purchase items I need since going out with my newborn isn't the best for baby and it's a huge hassle. I am also writing this blog on my phone which would have never been done if I had to do it on my laptop. I just don't have the time.

There you have it! Congratulations Mommy.

How to Attract an Aquarius Man

Aquarius is an Air Sign which means he is attracted to someone that
can share his dreams

Aquarius man is the sign of friendship. He makes friends easily and is
always looking for the approval of people. Therefore, if your friends
or family can embrace him he will love to be around them often and
you.

He is the type of guy that enjoys being part of a group such as clubs,
sports, community where he has friends that greet him and he is no
stranger. Try to be more involved with your community with him as he
will want to spend time with you all the time.

Helping friends and society is important to him. Don't ever nag him
that he does too much for others as it will disturb his natural way
and he will feel disconnected from you.

Aquarius man is a dreamer and because he loves to dream, he also likes
to try to make them come true. He gets busy and sometimes becomes a
loner, so when he does this give him his space. He snaps out of his
day dreaming moments and he wants to see you when he does, so be there
for him. He tends to have a reputation to cheat or have many women,
but actually he prefers to be in a relationship. However not just a
regular relationship, but one that keeps him on his toes and easy
going as well.

Aquarians are known not to be emotionally open. If he tells you he
loves you it's a big deal for him, because it took him a lot of guts
to say it.

Aquarius guy is very passionate when he is in love, but that's if he
trust you. Trust is what turns on an Aquarius guy. If he trusts you,
consider him yours.

He's a very curious individual, that's always reading and exploring,
if you want to tickle his fancy take him to a museum, concert, or
gallery. If you want to impress him, show that you too have dreams and
very similar dreams to his.

If you want to seduce him, take his hand and place it on your body.
This is showing your way to connect without words and Aquarians like
this because they are always over thinking things.
