Fisher Price Sit Me Up {Best Chair Ever}

Today I want to talk about one the best purchases I've made. The Fisher Price Sit Me up Chair. I bought it off of amazon, but you can buy it pretty much anywhere. Jolene freaken loves it. She's at a point now where she only wants to sit up, and this chair offers her the support she needs. She has been sitting in it since about four months, maybe  a little before. At first, she was wobbly - but now she sits perfectly in it. She loves to play with her toys.

The chair comes with a couple attached toys, but they can easily be removed and replaced with your childs' favorite toys. We have put one of her favorite teethers on hers. She grabs it and chews on it the whole time she's in the chair (well between smiles of course.)

We also have the popular Bumbo chair. It does not support her at all at this age. We are hoping as she gets bigger it will be better, but for now we rarely use it. It seems like a really great product - you just have to wait longer to get it. It also doesn't have anything to entertain your baby with, like the Sit me up Chair does.

We are so happy with our purchase of the Sit Me Up Chair.

Shopping - with an 11 week old...

Follow @babyequalslife

Today was my first venture to the mall with Jolene. We have taken her places, but not for me to actually shop. I was smart, fed her right before we left - nope, one hour later she's starving! Man, that drive must have been hard work for her. She's not a screamy baby, unless you make her wait for food. She will let you know she's hungry. Once I fed her, she finally started to fall asleep - but if I stopped moving the stroller, WIDE AWAKE. I literally stood in one spot and moved the stroller back and forth, back and forth. All you veteran mom's are like - 'Yeah, Duh'. I'm a new mom. I don't know this stuff. I also regretted leaving my wrap at home. Next time, it's in the bag. She finally fell asleep and stayed asleep. 

P.S. The pictures are way more entertaining than this story. 

What is a Blog Hop?

Follow @babyequalslife

If you have never participated in a blog hop before, I recommend reading below! ♥

Here is a Q&A that I found on Blogaholic Social Network on what a blog hop is! :) 

1) What is a blog hop? A blog hop also called a link up is basically a widget, called a linky, that allows bloggers to add their blog to a list. The list can be on multiple sites or may just be on the site of the blogger hosting the hop.

2) What is the purpose of a blog hop? Blog hops allow you to visit other blogs, follow blogs you like, and gain followers.

3) How do I participate? It's easy, just follow the rules the host has left. Sometimes the host asks that you place the blog hop button on your site or in a post, others have no rules. You then add your blog to the list and then visit other blog from the list. When you find blogs you enjoy follow them and leave a comment.

4) Why should I leave a comment? Leaving a comment allows the blogger to know that you are now following them. However, there are a few rules of etiquette:

• Don't spam bloggers
• Don't ask bloggers to visit your site and follow you
• Try to leave a sincere comment. Comment on the post or their blog in general and then let them know you are stopping by from the blog hop. No need to ask them to stop by your blog, if they are participating they already know how it works.

5) How long is a blog hop? Blog hops typically last one day although some may last an entire weekend and specialty blog hops may last a week or more.

6) How many blogs should I visit? As many as you would like. Visiting blogs through blog hops takes time so you may not get to everyone on the list, the great things is most blog hops are weekly events so you can stop back by next week.

7) How do I find blog hops? We have a list of member blog hops here on the community. You can check out our member blog hop list here. Also many bloggers have buttons for blog hops in their sidebars if you see one that catches your eye click on it and usually you will be brought to the site that hosts the hop and you can find out more.

VERY IMPORTANT:

The best way to gain new readers is by actually partaking in the hop; go to blogs - comment {sincerely} on their blogs && let them know that you found them via {name of blog hop} && then leave them your link. Most bloggers will visit you back and check out your blog! :)

Comment && let me know if this helps; If you  have any other questions... ask away! 

Button {Swap}...

Follow @babyequalslife 

I'm new, You're new - Let's be friends.

We can help promote each other's blogs by swapping buttons. You place my button in your sidebar && I will place your button in my sidebar. It's really easy to do. I grabbed the coding from Code it Pretty. Since I am familiar with coding, I was able to just grab the code and go - but the blog gives a full tutorial on how to make a button. It's very helpful.

I've placed my button in my sidebar --------> over there! :)
You can just copy and paste what's inside the box in your sidebar to easily share my button. Once you do this - leave me a comment below with your link. I will come grab your button and will place it in my sidebar.

Let me know if you have any questions.

P.S. You do NOT have to be new to do this!

Game Day DIY Onsie...

Follow @babyequalslife

Yesterday was opening day. In case you can't tell from the picture, we are die-hard Cowboys fans. Let's not talk about the game. I just wanted to share the adorable outfit I put together for Jolene. 

I actually made this shirt myself [I am extremely proud of myself]. I used a basic onsie that I had from Carter's and an iron on kit from 'Jolee's Easy Boutique Image'. It's actually way easier than I thought it would be. Here's how I did it: 

1. Create Saying using Word || This allows for me to use whatever fonts I would like and position the words in many different ways. 

2. Screen Shot the design || Save. 

3. Open up the Jolee's Easy Image website || Use their creator to print the image (mirrored). 

4. Iron on the Image || Look awesome. 

It's really easy. I can pretty much create anything I want. The quality isn't impeccable and I'm not even sure how long it will hold up in the wash - but it still looks pretty cool && it was perfect for game day! I also created a onsie that says "My heart (an actual heart) belongs to the Dallas Cowboys".
