I am excited to finally share the details of baby Scotland's vintage garden nursery with all of you. I planned this nursery for months before I was ever able to start decorating and I am so happy with how it turned out. We recently moved into our dream house, a converted early 19th century farmhouse. It was full of character and vintage charm but even more full of projects and problems. The room for the nursery needed electrical work, a…
Lack of sleep has got to be one of the hardest parts of having a newborn. Sleep deprivation can be brutal and lead to maternal (and paternal) stress and anxiety. Luckily both of our children were decent sleepers, although for some reason none of our babies liked sleeping in their bassinet and they really don't like sleeping on their backs. We resorted to some not-so-safe sleeping habits with our first baby. We'd let him sleep in the carseat, prop him…
When I started thinking about What I Needed for a Second Baby I forgot to consider that our second baby might have different needs and preferences than our first. For example, our son Teddy hated to be swaddled, he would wriggle his arms out before you could even finish wrapping him up. our daughter Scottie loves to be swaddled really tightly, but I have such a hard time keeping the swaddles tight. We didn’t get many new things for our second baby but…
One of the things I learned after having my first baby is that you don't really need a lot of stuff. Our house was cluttered with toys and unnecessary baby items from our first baby so the last thing we wanted was to add even more baby stuff to the clutter. For our new baby we made a concerted effort to be more thoughtful and intentional when it came to buying baby things. As a more "experienced" mom, I learned…

![Thank you everyone for all the colicky baby tips! Scottie has been a little better this week. We are on week 2 of a dairy-free, soy-free diet, started Zantac, gas drops and I had her evaluated by an IBCLC. It turns out she has a little posterior tongue tie which is making it hard to get enough food which could be contributing to her fussiness. Has anyone had a little one with a tongue tie that they didn’t get corrected? I read an uncorrected tie can cause trouble with solids and speech issues later on. Experiences?
