Fashion Friday - white & blue stripes

It's been pretty warm here the last couple of days. Little B has been enjoying the weather by visiting the park and playing on the balcony with her BFF Michi (our cat from Mexico).

Little B wishes you a good weekend!

Fashion Friday - Frilly White Dress

Wohooo it's Friday!!!!!!

Little B selected a nice white!! dress and pink undershirt that she has paired with a pair of cute sandals.
She is very excited to go grocery shopping with mommy and beer shopping with daddy in this outfit!

Little B's Friday Fashion

This outfit is not very good for crawling, but it's good for sitting in the grocery cart, car seat and stroller. Mommy will match by wearing similar impractical clothing in the form of a long skirt that makes it difficult to walk, and a top that is too tight. What a fashion duo!   

Have a Happy Weekend!!!!

10 things I miss about Breastfeeding

Am I dreaming or is it true that I'm not breastfeeding anymore! After 11 months it's now over, my boobs are back to just being plain old boobs. Although, I have wanted to stop for several months, it still feels quite weird that it's over.

10 things I miss about Breastfeeding

1. CONVENIENT. I didn't have to mix and sanitize bottles, I had the food with me everywhere I went, I never ran out.
2. NO PERIOD. I haven't had the red plague for almost two years, that is pretty incredible. I do not long for the day it returns with its bloating belly symptoms and mood swings (and neither does my husband I’m sure!)
3. GREAT SKIN. Ever since I started breastfeeding my skin has been great. I haven't had any problems with acne AT ALL. Before, I could get some pimples but  NADA, NONE during the time I was breastfeeding.
4. FREE. It was way cheaper (free) compared to formula.
5. RELAXING. Breastfeeding gave me a chance to relax, I could read my book, blog or just browse online.
6. HEALTHY. Breastfeeding is supposed to be healthy and better than formula, so it made me feel good that I gave her the best food.
7. COMFORTING. Bringing out the boob was a bulletproof way to calm her down when she was upset. 
8. COZY. It was cozy and cuddly to spend that time with my baby.
9. NEEDED. You definitely feel that you are needed and that you are the only one who can give your baby what she wants. This could off course be a bad thing too.
10. BREAK. It gave me a break from whatever I was doing. 

Just drank some booby milk

How did I stop breastfeeding?

Little B's granny, her auntie and cousin offered to take care of her over the weekend. It was strange and difficult to not have her close, but it definitely paid off. They got Little B to sleep all through the night and to drink formula. Amazing! It's now been almost a week and she still sleeps through the night and continues to drinks formula. We moved her crib out of our bedroom and she is back in her smaller sized crib we got when she was a newborn. I don't know if it's because she likes the small crib better or what, but she still sleeps all night long. 

I hope it will continue this way!

Fashion Friday - Butterflies

Since Little B has been crawling her pants tend to get rather dirty by the end of the day. It's like what the H**L? How can the floor be so freaking dirty? She also refuses to wear a bib so eating can get pretty messy too. 

However, since it's Friday! I like to dress myself up and the Little B a little extra! I can honestly say that thinking about fashion keeps my brain sane. Fashion makes me forget about troubles and problems. I guess the vainer the subject the better it numbs my worried mind. Haha, well maybe some of you can relate? It's like gardening or yoga, it helps to keep you relaxed.

On that note for my friends and potentials frenemies ;) I'm starting a weekly feature; "Fashion Friday" for babies, soon to be toddlers...=)

Today's fashion is all about spring. Butterflies and tropical colors

Fashion for babies

Imagine crawling around the garden wearing this outfit, while helping mommy plant some flowers. The birds will be singing and butterflies fluttering. Whereupon, Little B would eat handfuls of dirt and rip all the flowers off the plants. Mommy would be sweating bullets while scooping out dirt from the Little B's mouth. Little B would be yelling loudly! The cats trying to eat all the birds and butterflies. Imagine…..what a beautiful day to wear this outfit!

Happy Friday!!!

Pigment Spots Be Gone!

As I wrote about earlier "Remove Brown Spots while Breastfeeding" I have some annoying pigment spots, I guess it's called melasma... .
I have now started a real fight against these annoying things and I will win! Even without the help of Hydroquinone and Retin A they will disappear! (hopefully)...

 I always look to Paula Begoun for advice when it comes to skin care. I think she seems to be very credible and honest! She writes about different brands and ingredients. I always check reviews on her site before I purchase anything. After much research I decided to try some of her own products. Needless to say, I'm giving Vitamin C another chance among with some AHA's.

Paula's Choice Resist Products

1. Resist Weekly Resurfacing Treatment
2. Resist C15 Super Booster
3. Resist Super Antioxidant Serum
4. Resist Vitamin C Spot Treatment

I've just started using them and I hope they will work! I'll review them after a couple of weeks of usage.



Spring kisses from me and Little B
