The Oribel Cocoon Highchair  is more than just a highchair. Its one of the only products that truly can be used from newborn-toddler stages. This review is focused on the newborn recline position only. " Designed for modern homes, the multi-functional Cocoon high chair can be used from an infant recliner in the nursery, to a seat at the dinner table, and everything in between." -Oribel Have you ever thought of something you wanted and then tried to look for it only to realize it doesn't really exist? That's how I felt when searching for a "baby seat" that was tall, I wanted to be able to have him in the kitchen when I was cooking or just not at the same height as my toddler (see the picture below for enough of a reason lol.) I've done the whole little bouncer on the counter, or pillow lounger but that is only semi safe for a few weeks/month when the baby isn't moving. So I saw a few options of taller baby bouncers but none of them ha...

DIY Pantry Renovation My pantry wasn't bad before but, if you have ever had wire shelves you understand how difficult it is to keep them 1. organized and 2. items even standing up. Things are always tipping over and it's impossible to see what is behind an item so we ended up wasting a lot of food just from forgetting what we had.

Welcome to Camp Killian | Killian's First Birthday Kids birthday parties are not cheap, let’s just be blunt about it. So one thing I do is theme them around decor I will be able to re use in my home (if possible). My sons room is forest/adventure themed so a camping themed First birthday was what are doing! Also, his birthday is the end of June and I thought a summer camp would just so fun to create. I knew I could use pieces from his room and then add other decor I bought for the party. We ended up making most of his decorations and it was not an easy task but, it was so worth it! He is almost 3 now and I’m finally putting this post together (I’m the worst) and going through all the photos just reminds me how much work we put into each item we made. This is still my favorite theme and party to date! One of my favorite things we did was ordering custom Camp Counselor t-shirts from CustomInk.com, if I had a Cricut then I would’ve made them myself. We still ...
