5 Stores To Shop For Baby Boy Clothes
As a mama of a little boy, my biggest struggle is finding my son cute, neutral clothing pieces. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried searching for boy clothes and they all come out with Winnie the Pooh or Mickey Mouse on them! Trust and believe that I have already gone on a rant about this subject on Instagram. My son will be a year old on April 22nd and I still have trouble finding cute, plain clothing items.
However, I have found a few stores that have cute and plain pieces for Julian that do not contain a cartoon character… Okay, let’s face it, everyone is slapping Mickey’s face on at least one piece of clothing item, but I am going to try my best to share the basic pieces with you. In case you are a boy mama in the same ugly boat, here is where I like to shop for my baby boy.
- Amazon – Amazon is great for those trendy, cute, plain outfits for baby boys; however, they can get pricy! Babies grow so fast and sometimes only wear an outfit one time. So I like to buy stuff when they are on sale, or the sizing is a wide range so that he can wear the pieces for a longer period. Down below is a romper that is gender-neutral that I have purchased for Julian and he looks so cute in it! I actually bought it in a few different colors.
- Old Navy – Most of the time Old Navy has some pretty reasonably priced pieces, I can find items on sale for the most part. Beware; they do have some pieces that contain characters, but they are pretty cute and I have yet to come across that Pooh Bear. Old Navy is also where I found my baby some basic baseball hats that I was looking so hard for.
- Walmart – Walmart has very inexpensive clothing pieces, as well as basic pieces. I love the baby jeans and the just plain colored pants. I can always count on Walmart to have something cute and cheap.
- Target – I haven’t purchased any boy clothes from Target just yet, but I did go scope them out and they had a lot of cute basics for boys. They also have some cartoon character stuff, if that’s what you are into.
- H & M – This is another store that has really cute basic items for boys, but they also have some questionable items such as Mickey Mouse and nautical outfits. I am just trying to keep it real here!
By all means, if you are into the cartoon characters, please continue to dress your baby how you please and don’t get offended by what I write in this post. These are all my opinions and not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings, with that being said, I hope that you enjoyed this post! If you have any recommendations for me, please leave them in the comments, I am always looking for new places to try out for Julian. Make sure to follow me on all socials!

What I Craft With: Products that I use for my Etsy Shop
Hello and welcome back! For the past few month, I have been creating custom tumblers and selling them! I have been obsessed and also have been purchasing a ton of supplies. Today I want to share all of the products that I use daily for my Etsy Shop.
The main tool that I use is my Cricut Explore Air 2 in Emerald. This machine is badass and cuts like no other. The system comes with different templets that make it easy when creating a project. Right now the Cricut Explore Air 2 is on sale if you have really been wanting to get your hands on it! You can find the link here. I use mine everyday and let me tell you, I have made my money back on this machine, plus more.
My next tools that I use daily are the Nicapa basic tool set. They help so much when weeding vinyl, scrapping card stock from my mats, and applying vinyl to cups.
Another essential for a vinyl based craft is transfer tape. I picked up a large roll from Amazon and so far it’s the best that I have tried.
I can’t forget to mention scissors! I use them for just about everything, cutting the transfer tape, cutting ribbon, and the other obvious reasons for owning a pair of scissors. You can check out these good ones here.
They vinyl that I use I also purchased from Amazon. I use a holographic vinyl and a regular vinyl. The matte colored vinyl is a little bit harder to weed, but still turns out gorgeous.
( Holographic Vinyl, Regular Vinyl )
And there you have it people! Those are my everyday, basic tools. I just added a new piece to my collection, so I’ll have to update you in a blog post very soon! I hope that you enjoyed.
Let me know which tools that you can’t live without, I would love to try them.

Meet Julian
Hello there!
It’s been so long since I have uploaded a blog post! In these past months, I have been learning how to be a mama and loving every minute of it. My little Julian was born April 22nd, at 6:34 p.m. and weighed 9 pounds, 8 oz.
Here are just a few photos of him throughout the past four months.
Look forward to seeing more of him and I. I just can’t get enough of him. I have a ton of mama posts and much more coming soon! For more of us on the daily, make sure to follow us on Instagram.
Love always,
Kelsey
Mama Must-Haves
Hello there! My name is Kelsey, and I am a new mama! My little man is officially three weeks old today. In these short three weeks, I have already learned so much; and yet still have more to go. I did, however, find some fantastic products that have changed my motherhood game. I thought that I would share these products with you, just in case you are a new mama as well or are just looking for some awesome stuff!
My first Mama Must-Have is an electrical breast pump. This is more for the Mama’s that are breastfeeding and need to let out the extra milk. I love the fact that I don’t have to pump manually. I’m already so tired from being up all night with Julian; I don’t want to add more work that isn’t needed.
My second Mama Must-Have is a Brica Car Mirror. This mirror is magical! I am a working mama and get to take Julian with me. He hates the ride home and cries the entire time. Now all I have to do is turn the mirror on, it sings and has lights that will entertain him the whole drive home. It also comes with a remote so that it can be controlled while I am sitting at a red light. I am so in love!
While on the working subject, my next Mama Must-Have is the Snuggle Nest. The Snuggle Nest is a portable infant sleeper. I don’t think that I can live without this thing! He gets to sleep comfortably in the Snuggle Nest while Mama works.
My last Mama Must-Have for this blog post is the Baby Brezza. Let me say; this thing is a Keurig for making baby bottles. It dispenses formula, (however many ounces you need), warms the water, and mixes the water and baby formula for me. I have to do is put the lid on my baby’s bottle. Did I mention that it takes less than 30 seconds to do it all? The Baby Brezza comes in handy, especially for those long sleepless nights.
That brings me to the end of this post! I needed to share all of these products with you; it was killing me. I hope that you enjoyed it!

I love this time of year; this is the time to start fresh and become a better version of myself — it’s time to put my brain to use and think about what needs improvement in my life. So down below are some of my goals for the year 2020. I have put a lot of time and thought into these. I have a feeling that this is going to be the best year yet.

- I will hit 50k followers on Instagram- I mean, who doesn’t want a big social media following?
- I work with more local companies- Collaborations for my blog and Instagram.
- I utilize my time better- I need to be more productive and manage my time better.
- 2020 will be the year that I buy a house.
- I drink more water- This goal is on my list every year.
- I have stopped comparing myself and my life to others on social media.

How To Get A Good Nights Rest
Lately, I have been all about my sleep; I love to get a good night’s rest so that I can have a productive next day. In today’s post, I’m sharing how I get a good nights sleep and what helps to sleep better.
STEP 1: I am a night time shower person. I love to take a shower to wash off everything from that day; it’s soothing to me. I love to take my time in the shower as well; I will play some music, listen to some music, or even do a little meditation.
STEP 2: After the shower, it’s skincare time! I wash my face, use a toner, eye cream, moisturize, and apply lip balm. I love how clean my skin feels once I am all done.
STEP 3: Time to hydrate, I will have some water before bed. I find that it is relaxing.
STEP 4: If I am in the mood, I will read a book, it helps me to get a little sleepier.
STEP 5: I am obsessed with this app that I found; it’s called Headspace. It is an app that helps with meditation, but it also tells stories and makes soothing sounds. I love to listen to the Midnight Launderette, there are washer and dryer sounds in the background, and the guy who tells the story has a very soothing voice.
STEP 6: After I listen to a few minutes of Headspace, I am usually out like a light!
I hope that you enjoyed this post! Let me know in the comments what helps you get a better nights rest.
