You can literally be hands-free with it. I don’t know how I’d get anything done without it. Babe stays tight against you so bending over isn’t a problem. Sage falls asleep within about 2 minutes almost every time he’s put in it and it doesn’t have tons of fabric like other wraps I’ve seen. Babe can also be upright straddling your sides or can be swaddled and worn like a sling. Here’s the Baby K’Tan website where you can find it. I got it as a gift, but it looks like it’s also at Target, Buy Buy Baby and other stores. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590618235481-IXJFX8E7NC3G4HQ1AZTG/C98A0AF3-F15F-4496-B5E5-F9A0E05BE1EA.JPG Blog - Baby product breakdown - Lavender and Cedarwood essential oil I combined both of these oils with a carrier oil into a roller bottle for Sage’s bedtime. Both Lavender and Cedarwood have so many benefits. I’ve linked what some of them are. We apply this roller to Sage’s feet and toes (vitaflex points!) and he chills ouuuuut in his bassinet until he falls asleep on his own. This took more work than just oils, but I do believe they play a role in the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590617016610-LCW17UUOC564EKISFYMK/838FAE74-6510-4E87-9840-D5D543D97531.JPG Blog - Baby product breakdown - Boon NURSH bottles We got this bottle in the mail from Baby List when we created our registry. They sent us a bunch of samples of things and this was one of them. Sage took to it best. And maybe this has nothing to do with it, but he latched onto my boob without a nipple shield the day after we used this bottle with him in the NICU sooo we decided to stick with it. And it’s cute. We also tried others like Dr. Brown’s and didn’t like them (Sage kept leaking milk out of his mouth- yes, we tried the slowest dripping one). We don’t use bottles a ton anymore now that I have a better understanding of how much milk he’s drinking from me (thanks to the puppy scale we have at home to use to weigh him before and after feedings). But when we do use a bottle, this is what we use. They can be found on Amazon and lots of other websites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590615957858-6CD9M3OTEVDMSABMMCK7/Hello%2BBello%2BDiapers Blog - Baby product breakdown - Hello Bello diapers and pretty much any and all of their other products. We have a subscription for their diapers so we get them sent every 3, 4, or 5 weeks (it can be changed with every order if you need to adjust). You get to pick your diaper prints and 3 packs of wipes come with each bundle. You can add onto each order too. So this last month, we got the diapers, wipes, an extra 3 pack of wipes cause this boy POOS a lot, prenatal vitamins (they’re gummies so duh of course I’m a fan), and diaper rash cream, all for under $90. Last bundle, we also got their sunscreen. We love the mission behind the Hello Bello company so we love to support and talk about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590617484167-280S6U9HFA4J7RVINY8B/D963120D-4CE1-42B8-ABBF-F9AE41B97102.JPG Blog - Baby product breakdown - Young Living Thieves hand sanitizer I’ve never liked using hand sanitizer for a number of reasons, one of them being that I don’t like things like lotion or oily things on my hands. But I’m also a low-key germaphobe. With this stuff, I actually look forward to using it. Mostly cause it smells heavenly, but also because I know how effective it is. The link to this one will show you wholesale and retail price of this stuff. If you’re interested in getting it at wholesale and joining my Young Living team, lemme know. Once you’re a member, you get all of their products at wholesale price. And if you do it right, you get free oils and products along the way :) The next 2 products are also Young Living and the same applies to those. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590643793871-A2BT399CPC39UIUT67DY/IMG_0515.jpg Blog - Baby product breakdown - Slouch headwear beanie- Slouch headwear beanie- because it’s cute AF. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590616761063-64KHZWYZ40GQ572EVSSF/Bibs+paci Blog - Baby product breakdown - Bib’s binky We ordered quite a few different binkies knowing not all babes like the same binky. It took a few tries but we landed on this one. Sage was able to keep it in his mouth the longest without it falling out. He doesn’t always like a binky and he lets us know with the funniest facial expressions as well as spitting it out or locking his lips shut. It’s hilarious. These binkies are sold everywhere, but we ordered ours off Amazon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590617944058-U51MH9LO7FIZ7X13XOXU/3682D4BE-E9AD-4E3B-8EEB-3CC8B444D8D5.JPG Blog - Baby product breakdown - Young Living Seedlings Baby Oil This lavender baby oil smells incredible. Anything lavender seems to calm Mr. Sage down quickly. We trust all of Young Living’s oils and products on ourselves and now our little babe. We recently got this for after bath calm down, as he doesn’t like the post-bath procedure. Young Living has a whole Seedlings line, which is their baby line. I have yet to try it all, cause #budgeting. We’ll get there soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590620922777-OOP9U50D7AZTIN5W82UW/9AB01571-D060-4926-8AEC-A4AE81065853.JPG Blog - Baby product breakdown - Bamboobies Reusable Nursing Pads Get these asap before babe is born. I was constantly soaked from my boobs leaking in the NICU/hospital. I also have super super sensitive skin. So normal reusable or disposable breast pads did not work for me. They were so itchy. I got these super soft ones for sensitive skin from Amazon like a month and a half after Sage was born- before that, it was changing my bra multiple times a day and doing laundry every day to make sure I had a bra to wear. NOPE. Not a fan of that. https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/blog/georgefloyd monthly 0.5 2020-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1591135704559-3C1NU83AHS2TUUU0NJ0E/IMG_8224.JPG Blog - I don’t know how to talk about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1591135711220-1G2IXLRRPU22XVZDAAZN/IMG_1418.JPG Blog - I don’t know how to talk about it. https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/blog/simplicity monthly 0.5 2020-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1594768191775-DS4CYSU0F6CX4KO0BC2L/IMG_0726.JPG Blog - simplicity https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/blog/bc1o3s8gnoo9j7qqhrrzcmfvi0ooqq monthly 0.5 2022-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/c18ee349-bea4-4708-aee4-a52d0f8a1b19/8A7DD1B7-E746-4F87-9EC4-B754EB529B3C.jpeg Blog - Going back to a blank slate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/blog/ds9fwo02bl5us51l9o57ec1ijse34y monthly 0.5 2022-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/65fc2d26-0d1d-4df0-a1f3-347cd7989177/D0743085-4182-4D8C-BB78-FC09B515BDEC.jpeg Blog - Goals for the year - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/blog/xjulj97v6se9ib4wgbahx99xmhz8yg monthly 0.5 2022-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/26889d25-265e-45cb-9504-76ce51ff6b63/6DFB0CFE-BE75-4C93-83CC-FA3C38D18647.jpeg Blog - It’s the temptation to spiral - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1d9bb059-317e-4268-ba0e-d9531b21e7cc/DDE2E147-C336-40DE-ACE6-C403A7E6D4C5.jpeg Blog - It’s the temptation to spiral - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/767377bd-5afd-4996-84a9-4c688d15d363/E47BE959-F0BD-42C1-A4EB-2AA9ABF81736.jpeg Blog - It’s the temptation to spiral - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/about daily 0.75 2020-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2b966bdc5cc704487e366/1590018295132-1IWT4FZPMT5KCLHTXDKE/049D790E-0F1F-490E-A747-CB9D2FE14DE1.JPG About - A place that has a little bit of everything. Hi friends. For the few of you who don’t already know, my name is Mackenzie. I’m married to this super hot blonde haired man-bun guy. We just brought a new babe into the world at the end of March. We have two doodles and one was born totally blind [yes it’s as cute, sad and hilarious as you can imagine it being]. We just moved from Austin, Texas back home to Portland, Oregon. I’ve created this space because I have a lot of things I want to share. I love to write and have neglected that piece of me for a while now. And I miss it terribly. I am a teacher at heart and I love sharing and talking about things I get excited about, which is a lot of things. Another reason for this space is to keep friends and family updated- hubs and I have lived in Oregon, Washington DC and Austin and now we have friends and family all over the country who ask for updates often. This is a place where I’ll post about recipes, current workouts (or lack thereof), essential oil hacks, doggos, babies, hubs, crafts, or just thoughts I have that I want to get out. I will be here, even if no one shows any interest. Although, I hope at least a few of you do enjoy :) https://www.thepeacefulpine.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-05-28
