My Slightly Chaotic Life

Balancing Life, Children and Chaos

Preparing with Nuby

March 9, 2018 Leave a Comment

I finally got the nesting bug. Well sort of. We had a big snowstorm blow through our area yesterday and since school was canceled and I had no intention of leaving the house, I put my time to good use (after I took a nap of course). So I decided to finally prepare the bottles, take the sterilizer out of the box and clean out a cupboard to store all of this.

Bottles can be found here

Nuby has a great bottle starter kit called Comfort 360 Plus + Starter Kit that is suppose to help reduce colic and reflux. The kit comes with 4 bottles: 2 5 oz bottle and 2 9 oz bottles as well as 2 pacifiers. All bottles come with the 360 straw which is designed to help reduce GERD and reflux. My ideal plan is to breastfeed but ended up having to exclusively pump with my son. I’m excited to have these available and ready if the same were to happen with this soon to be baby. Plus these bottles are super easy to clean (which is definitely a bonus when you have an infant and are exhausted).

I also set up the Nuby bottle warmer which also happens to be a sterilizer as well as warmer for baby food! I actually used it to sterilize pacifiers and my son heated up a bottle of water to see how it worked! This bottle warmer is great for small spaces, which is the case in my household, but useful in all that it does!

In preparing for baby I got nervous that my son would feel left out about the new things that the baby was getting. Thankfully, Nuby offers items for older kids. Hayden loves his water bottles and as a mom I love water bottles that are both durable and leak proof. The Thirsty Kids Flip It water canteen was a perfect choice for Hayden. He can drop it, tip it with out spilling the contents and it’s also BPA free. It’s also great for him to have at his bedside at night since if it gets knocked over it won’t spill. Hayden loves it!

To say I feel better prepared now that the less then 30 day till baby gets here countdown is on is an understatement. Now just to officially scrub the house from top to bottom!

Disclosure: I received this product for a review but all my opinions are my owns! See below for Nuby’s social media links!

Taking a much needed break while the toddler naps Taking a much needed break while the toddler naps to just breathe. Chasing her around all day can be absolutely exhausting which means by the time I get to sit for a minute I am starving! 

@dunkin has me covered with a little afternoon pick me up with their delicious coffee and a new Snackin’ Menu. You can choose from stuffed croissants, stuffed bagel minis, a gluten-free brownie and Snackin’ Bacon available for a limited time at select locations! 
Pair these with your favorite coffee, my current fav is the Explorer Blend, for the perfect combination. So whether you are on the go or taking a mini afternoon break, make sure to grab something from the @dunkin Snackin’ Menu! 

Any guesses on how long my toddler break will last? I’ll give you a hint; not long! #toddlermomlife

Happy thirty-something birthday to me!! Birthdays Happy thirty-something birthday to me!!

Birthdays used to be a big deal to me, now not so much. Getting older was scary but as the years have gone on, I look at another year older means another year of growth. 

Growing as a person, a mom, a friend, a wife, and growing in my own personal goals. My life is pretty damn good and I am loving every second of growing older with the amazing people around me. So cheers to another year around the sun! 

Also, getting a photo with balloons is about as hard as getting a photo with your children just in case anyone was wondering! ❤️

Anyone else hate when their toddler uses their clo Anyone else hate when their toddler uses their clothing to blow their nose?! Fully prepared for cold and flu season over here with the help of @scottiestissues. (ad)

The extra strength and softness as well as the beautiful prints and patterns help this mama keep the sniffles at pay. Especially with this little one of mine who is constantly trying to wipe her nose on just about everything.

Double tap if your toddler does the same thing! I can’t have the only one 😆

Sunday’s are for being lazy, well as lazy as you Sunday’s are for being lazy, well as lazy as you can be when your solo parenting two kids all day and night. 

Sharing this space of my home because soon this dining room table will be replaced by what I think is the perfect new addition. But I want to remember the imperfections and memories this old one holds. Anyone else feel a sense of nostalgia about their home furniture or is it just me?

And to note the vase and fake stems are from @walmart and cost less then $10 for it all!

Our @icecastles_ adventure was a success! The kids Our @icecastles_ adventure was a success! The kids loved all the fun ice slides, hidden pathways and thousands upon thousands of icicles frozen together to create this winter escape.
Looking to visit one near you? Here are my tips to make your visit fun and exciting.

1. Dress for the weather. Snow pants, hats, boots and warm clothing are a must. We spent over an hour there and the children only complained once they were cold.

2. Mask up. Masks are required. We took ours off briefly for the photo, making sure there was plenty of distance between us and others.

3. Book ahead. You can book your reservation online and it is highly suggested. Times sell out quickly during vacation weeks and on weekends. The day we went was sold out. 

4. Bringing a really small child? Make sure to bring a sled to pull them on or put them in a carrier. Strollers will not move through the snow and ice. 

5. Visit at night if you can. We didn’t this year but in years past we have gone at night  when the Ice Castles are lit up with lights making it that more magical. 

Lastly, have fun and stop by the little fire pits set up throughout to warm up.

Have you been to the @icecastles_ this year? What did you think?!
