As you have probably seen on Instagram, we hosted Fletchy’s First Fiesta for her party and it was pretty much the best party we’ve ever thrown. Fletcher had the time of her life and my goal was to make the party as low maintenance as possible so that I could sit back and enjoy time with Fletchy. We accomplished just […]

BREAST AND BOTTLE FEEDING: Boppy pillow – I also had the Brest Friend but preferred the Boppy Silverettes Nipple butter Storage bags Bottle warmer – we didn’t end up using this but it totally depends on if you baby will take a cold bottle!
