When you’re a new Mom it goes without saying that you are short on time. The first few months with your babe are truly the newborn vortex - and by all means, please stay in that delicious bubble as long as possible! But what that means is, most of your time is spent taking care of the baby, starring at the baby, and if you find yourself with a few minutes you're probably still talking about the baby.

Today I wanted to share some of my travel tips for staying healthy and energized when you’re on-the-go. I’ve used these tips on every kind of travel from an extended European foray to a quick weekend getaway hours from home. These tips are simple, take minimal time to do and can make a positive impact on your body, health and ability to fully enjoy your trip.

As a follow-up to my Baby Gear: Strollers & Car Seats post, I received several questions about which stroller gear I use. I'll start by saying that gear is ONLY beneficial if you will truly use it and need it, so everything I share today are things that do make our lives easier or have worked well to keep Emerson cozy among the varying weather/seasons in New York.

Even before I had Emerson, I was drawn to babywearing. I loved the idea of keeping your baby close, especially in those first few newborn months. That delicious snuggle that comes with wearing your baby, knowing they're safe and close to you, skin to skin, the bonding and connection that it breeds.

One of the things I've noticed since becomming a mom, and it started during my pregnancy, is that babies come with a lot of STUFF. I've never felt like more of a consumer in my entire life.

A few weeks back I shared our favorite diapers and wipes that we LOVE to use on Emerson. But let's be real, the diapering experience can get REAL stinky, real quickly.
