This is an honest review about a product I’ve been passionate about since receiving a babyguybox a few months ago. Fresh Wave’s mission from their website is:

“What’s our mission? That’s easy. To always provide you with the most effective go-to solution for safe, natural odor removal. Emphasis on the safe and natural. And we believe that by doing that, Fresh Wave can actually make your world happy, healthy and odor free. But here’s the best part. Call it good karma or just having a conscience, we want to make these great products without using harmful chemicals or wrecking the planet. It’s important to us, and we know it matters to you, too.”

Happy March! It’s the month for Daylight Savings Time, happening on the 13th, and I’m actually looking forward to it. I’ll definitely enjoy the longer afternoons with the sun staying out past six. Evan has a pretty great sleeping schedule (knock on wood) so I’m curious to see any differences we will face. Spring teased us Minnesotans last week with warm weather and then it plummeted back to cold. Now the forecast is calling for the warm weather to return, hooray! Also, Evan is 9 months old, as of February 29th! He is still our little stationary baby, as he cannot crawl quite yet, which is fine with us. We need to find a baby gate for the stairway, and it’s been quite a struggle. We are looking for a larger sized gate (or one with extensions) that can fit a 49″ width and has an additional mini pet door. Our cats are quite particular and one of them will not jump over a gate to get downstairs to her litter box.

Hello & welcome to my blog! I’ve always enjoyed writing since I was a young girl and now I get to share it with the world. As a new mom, I relied a lot on bloggers and YouTube videos for advice on what to know about newborns and the transition into parenthood. After learning so much great advice, it gave me such an appreciation for bloggers that are willing to share apart of their life to readers. I’d love to go over what has and hasn’t worked for my now 8-month-old son, in addition to my experiences transitioning to this new chapter of life.

Last year, my husband and I purchased a foreclosure which we plan to remodel from floor to ceiling. I’d love to share our progress with everyone, including bumps in the road we’ve run into over the past 12 months. At the moment, there is not one room that is a hundred percent complete, but doing a renovation without contractors is a lengthy process. I hope to post snippets of each room’s progress.

I may find myself babbling on and on about other miscellaneous thoughts as well. I seem to narrate my life in my head each day thinking “this could be a great blog post!”. Now, I just need to get into the habit of writing it down so that I do not forget. I write my posts mostly in the evening when my little guy is asleep so things come and go from my mind all day. Would love to do a monthly Birchbox (love this!) review, or have a guest post from a friend, or even just talk about our day.

Over the last few years there have been many bloggers that have inspired me. A few personal favorites that I check daily and enjoy very much are: Skinny Meg, Kailee Wright, & The Small Things Blog. All three of these ladies are very inspiring to me. They each have a unique perspective on an array of topics, such as being a mother (which all three of them are), providing beauty reviews, fitness tips, and more.

Looking forward to this! Thanks for reading.
