Fair warning, friends- today’s post is a looooong one 🤗 As I’m sure you’ve heard me say about a million times before- I SWEAR by a book called Cherish the First Six Weeks. Cherish is all about putting baby on an eating/feeding schedule right off the bat. I know this is not for everyone and…
Diaper Bag Round-Up
I loooove our diaper bag! It’s big enough, has a ton of compartments, a great changing mat and for some reason, Chickie LOVES pointing at the animals. The bag is a kid magnet! I don’t know if that goes in the pro column for you but I swear it’s true! More than once we’ve been out…
Traveling with Baby: Absolute Lifesavers
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…
Parenting – The First Year
I have a parenting style/theory that I’d like to share with you. Although I can’t point to exactly where I got this idea, I don’t think I made it up myself. You see, my lawyer self has been reading MANY DIFFERENT parenting books and blogs for the past 15+ months (if you’re pregnant, I switched…
Where We Shop: Kiddo T-Shirts
Sometimes it feels like every single kid out there is wearing the same rotation of T-shirts, am I right? Don’t get me wrong- I love myself some basics for Chickie, especially for the days she’s at daycare; BUT I also like to find unique Ts that show Chickie’s personality and style (maybe more my personality…
My Pregnancy Must-Haves
I woke up to some amazing news today- one of my good friends from home is pregnant! How exciting is that? It got me thinking of my own pregnancy and all the #preggohacks I used, the books I read, etc.. I figured I’d share in case you find them helpful. Apps, Podcasts and Other Preggo…
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…
