10 Things I learned as a First Time Mom

Happy Wednesday everyone, We are almost to the weekend!
Today I thought I would share what I learned so far as being a first time mom.

#1: Babies love to pull hair!
I mostly have to keep my hair in a bun or a pony tail because Chloe loves to grab on my hair and she will not let go.

#2: You can't control everything. Just go with the flow.
It's basically what it says that you can't  control everything that things are going to happen with your baby. For example sometimes you might be late somewhere because you were feeding your baby. What I learned is to set my alarm an hour or so before we have to get actual ready so I can make sure Chloe needs are met. You have to just go with the flow.

#3: After having your baby, your hormones are still crazy and out of control.
This is very true because I still find my self crying for no reason or when I watch movies. I used to never cry before I was pregnant. I realized I just have to let it out it's not okay to keep it bottled up. My emotions are still high after having Chloe. Another thing is TMI but ladies your periods! My periods are so out of control it's insane. I learned you always have to carry around your pads or tampons because you never know when it's going to come. I will do a update on that soon in my 4 month postpartum update.

#4: Change your baby diaper quickly!
I thought that you only have to change diapers quickly with boys but I easily learned that you also have to change diapers quickly with girls! One time I didn't change Chloe quickly and she peed everywhere!!!

#5: Always keep a eye on your baby.
I am just saying this because Chloe is in the stage of rolling over and I can do something for a second then find her rolled over and screaming. Sometimes I find her burp cloth on her head. I learned that you need to always watch what they do and to limit the stuff you have laying around them.

#6: Shots will break your heart...
When my daughter had her 2 month shots my heart was breaking because of the pain I saw on her face. I even cried for her!

#7: Less is more!!
I thought that you needed so much stuff when you have a baby but I learned that less is more. I barely use all the stuff I bought for my daughter. I even bought products that I haven't even used yet. Best advice is to ask other moms what they used and what they think is most important to have so you don't end up buying stuff you won't use. It saves you money.

#8: Time goes by fast!
Everyone told me that babies grow up quickly but I didn't learn that till after Chloe was born. She is already 4 months old. It goes by so fast. Tip is to make sure you take plenty of pictures!!

#9: Sleep when your baby sleeps.
This is so true. Chloe only likes to take naps if I lay down with her and when I do I always end up falling asleep with her. Taking naps when your baby naps is essential. If you can do it!

#10: Only you know as a parent what's best for your child. Don't let others tell you what's best.
If you let other's tell you what's best for your child then you will never learn on your own. My mom did this at first to help me but now I do it by my self. I take care of Chloe mostly all by my self so now I have the confidence to know what is best for my child. Also everyone parenting style is different you don't have to be the same as everyone else. Find what works best for you and for you child.


*This is 10 things I learned as a first time mom! Just thought this would be fun to do and to share with ya'll what I learned so far. Maybe I will do one when Chloe becomes a toddler and share 10 things I learned as a mom with a toddler.*

Pretty Little Liars: Season 4 Episode 4 Recap

Hey PLL Fans!
What did you think of this episode? I think it was InsAne!!! Let's recap....

Warning: Do not read this if you haven't watched this episode yet. Contains spoilers....


This episode is called "Face Time"

* Emily Dad is home!!!!
* Aria and Hanna think Melissa is A. What do you think?
* A new detective is in town. Her name is Lt. Tanner.
* "What is it about those 4 pretty little girls that attract so many corpses"-Tanner
* Spencer had a emotional talk with her mom. Spencer told her that she didn't get into UPenn
* The doctor tells Emily that she might not be able to swim again. Uh Oh!!
* Hanna was talking to Officer Tanner about her Mom connection and Wilden
* Aria ran into Ezra son and he ask why she doesn't come over anymore
* Jake doesn't think Aria is over Ezra
* Toby talks to Dr. Palmer about Toby mom
* "The air got to heavy for her"- Dr. Palmer
* "Will you tell her to stay away from that girl"-Dr. Palmer "What girl?"-Toby  "The Blonde One"-Dr. Palmer
* Melissa found the mask that was planted by Spencer. Spencer and Aria follow her back to Hector place.
* Emily parents are very angry at Emily for lying to them and Emily runs out the house
* Both detectives show up at Hanna house asking to speak to their mom. Caleb covers for Hanna's mom.
* Aria goes by into Hector place and sees more Alison masks. Spencer followed her sister out by the lake.
* Melissa was throwing her masks into the lake when Spencer caught her!!!!
* Aria confronted Hector about keeping those masks of Alison
* Flashback: Alison wants the rest of her money from Hector. Hector doesn't have it and Alison gets mad and He sees her drive off with someone in a car.
* "We are not going anywhere till I get answers"-Spencer
* Melissa was wearing the same costume at the Halloween party as Wilden
* Wilden tried to kill Spencer.
* Wilden burnt down the cabin
* Melissa thinks Alison is still alive and hiding out somewhere
* "I been protecting you before it even started"-Spencer
* Spencer thinks Melissa killed Wilden!!!!
* Police showed up at Emily house
* A Text: "Melissa is guilty of plenty but she is not A material"

This episode was insAne!!! Comment if you agree. So since cops keep dying off we see two new detectives show up in Rosewood to investigate a murder. They are keeping a eye on the girls since they have a connection and it's crazy!!! The girls better come up with something better or their secrets are going to come out quickly. I really still think Hanna mom is guilty of something even if she didn't kill Wilden she is still hiding something important. So what shocked me the most is when Toby was talking to Dr. Palmer and he was talking about Alison!!! Plus the Spencer and Melissa show down!!! More of our questions were revealed... Like Wilden burnt down the cabin and he was the one trying to kill Spencer on the A train. Where was Mona at though? We haven't been seeing her lately....

Want to know what's going to happen next? Then watch this preview!!

I am a Reddish Blonde!!!!

Hey everyone so today I decided to dye my hair since Chloe left with Josh parents for a little bit. The dye I am using is Loreal Paris and it's a Golden Blonde shade. My hair already had blonde in it but the top of my hair was brown with red that's why the end product came out reddish blonde.

This picture is showing you a before of how my hair looked to what it looks like now.

This is a better look of how my hair was before I dyed it. I had a ombre in my hair that's why it is dark on top. Ignore the way it looks here I kinda hate how long it is now. I really want to cut it short but trying not to.

This is the end product. It came out a reddish blonde because of the red I had in my hair before I dyed it.
















And here are just more pictures so you can see the color better.....

Here is how the top of my hair came out.

*This is how my hair came out after I dyed it. I plan to buy the John Frieda Blonde shampoo to help fix the red.*

Baby Haul #5

Hey everyone today I am doing a baby haul showing what I got for Chloe. I can't believe next week she will be 4 months old!!!

Chloe needed new pacifiers because the other ones were worn out so I decided to go with these Closer to Nature pacifiers. These are for 0-6M and are medium. These pacifiers are too big because they cover part of Chloe nose and the nipple part is very thin and small. So on a scale of 1 being poor and 10 being best these are a 5.

 I bought more of these changing mats.

I needed more pacifier wipes because the other ones dry out. These are by Gumdrop.

I actually got these wipes for free because I had a coupon! Free Wipes!!!

Chloe is still on this brand of formula. I bought 5 of these for now.















So since Chloe is almost 4 months I decided to go ahead and pick up some baby food. We will wait to see what her doctor says but I can't wait to start feeding her! These are by Gerber they are Carrots and they are the first foods. They are for supported sitters. We bought 4 packs of the carrots.













Chloe is now in size 2 diapers! I bought the box of Pampers Baby Dry. I usually get the swaddlers but picked this up by mistake.  We shall see how I like these.

Grocery Store Haul

Hey everyone today I went grocery store shopping with my mom and wanted to share some products that I got. We got more stuff than this but this is the stuff that I got for me. Look out for a baby haul soon! I got hair dye, College snacks, 4th of July essentials and more!!

Me and my mom been wanting to dye our hair for a while so now we finally got our hair dye. So I am naturally a blonde but right now my hair is brown. For a while now I been wanting to go back blonde so I really hope this color turns out. This is by Loreal Paris and its in 8G Golden Blonde. Me and my mom plan to dye our hair this week. I will do a blog post on it when I do it. My mom has brownish black hair and is dying her hair a dark brown.

I love Goldfish!!

I bought these Welch's fruit snacks and I plan on saving these for college.

I love these! They are Cinnamon Toast Crunch bars. I plan to save these for college as well.

I plan on saving these Marshmallows for 4th of July so we can roast these outside.

I bought some packs of Goldfish and Trail Mix to save for college.
















I got this for Chloe to go with her 4th of July outfit. Only $2.50!
















I really needed some eye cream because my under eyes is so horrible. I have really bad dark circles. I asked the employee working with the cosmetics and this is what she recommended.














I got this cup to use for college.
















These are my favorite to eat. I am so addicted!

















*So this is my haul! I am no way bragging just wanted to show ya'll what I get and what I love. Look out for a baby haul soon!*
