When Soph was tiny we traveled to Panama to see my family several times. How did I manage to fly alone with a newborn? By bringing the following things along: Medela Freestyle portable pump + mini cooler: As an exclusive pumper, meaning I didn’t actually put the baby to the breast but SOLELY pumped and…
Newborn #Realtalk: Must Haves, Borrow then Buy + Save Yo’ Money
There’s a lot of newborn “must-haves” out there and are just NOT must-haves. Yes, if you have them you’ll probably use them and if you can borrow the from a friend, that’s even better! Should you be spending money on them if money is tight? Should you prioritize them over other actual necessities? Not according…
That Time I Wore White Pants to a Farm.. WHY?!
With the big blog launch oficially set for September 13th and all the work/stress/excitement that comes with that, this Labor Day caught us Rices by surprise. Although normally VERY organized (ha!) we didn’t have any plans for Labor Day Weekend so I took to the internets for help. Looking for something fun, close by and kid…

Traveling With Baby: to Car Seat or Not to Car Seat?
We travel to Panama quite a bit since all my family is down there. Chickie first flew to Panama right after she turned 2 months old. The flight itself was pretty stressful but once we got down there we were very well set up. In the hopes of making our trip easier (perhaps so we go…
Why A Little Too Loud?
So what’s with the name? I wanted to dedicate a post to why I named this space A Little Too Loud. You see, all my life people have been telling me I’m too much – too opinionated, too honest, too argumentative (lawyer here!) too friendly, too messy, too American, too Latin, TMI, the list goes on…
