How to Mentally Prepare to Return to Work as a New Mom

Going back to work after having a baby is a huge transition! Check out these tips for preparing yourself to return to work. #newmom #workingmom #momlife #pregnant #firsttimemom

Last Halloween, I remember sitting on my couch holding my tiny 6-week-old son next to an old friend. His sister had a baby right before I did, and in conversation he casually said to me “are you so ready to get back to work? My sister can’t wait to get back to normal.” I wasn’t really sure that I understood what he was saying! I could not imagine leaving my son alone all day, let alone being excited to go back to work. Even more, I couldn’t imagine anything in my life being “normal” the way that it had been before my baby was born. read more

Grocery Delivery from Amazonfresh (Amazonfresh Review)

Amazonfresh will delivery grocries right to your door for reasonable prices! Check out my Amazonfresh review. #amazonfresh #amazon #deals #momlife

When it comes to groceries, our home is on a pretty tight budget. That means that buying quality groceries at a good price is usually more important than the convenience of things like grocery delivery services. I loved using Peapod after my son was born, but the groceries came at a higher price than a trip to the grocery store, so I did not continue to use their service. Recently, Amazonfresh moved into our area, and I saw that they were offering $25 off your first order of $100. You all know that I count on Amazon to deliver great prices on my household staples, so I decided to check out this Amazonfresh service as well.
