PB&J Loves List: New Mama Edition

Becoming a new mom literally feels like you're entering into a whole new world (Disney pun from a Disney mom? LOL)

It's a world full of patience, endurance, multitasking and care. You quickly learn that you can (pretty much have to) function on little to no sleep. You learn how to eat, feed your child and amuse a bored dog all at once. It's a world where you find your inner strength because it's not just about you anymore, it's about you and your child now. 😀

This is why I'm so excited to share my latest "PB&J Loves List" in this post. You may recall that I had a "Loves List" a few months ago featuring some of my favorite maternity goodies, but this time around, it's all about mama-hood and all the things that I've learned that as a new mom, I can't live without!

**Disclosure the items in this post were sent to me in exchange for a review. All opinions shared are my own!**

Lalabubaby
One of the most amazing things about having a baby is all the cuddle time you get with them. As much as I love holding my little Ben, sometimes my arms need a break. So when Lalabubaby contacted me about their unique "soothe shirt" I was definitely all about it. The Soothe Shirt is a unique alternative to traditional baby wearing. It's designed to look like a regular women's tank, but there's a stealthy hidden carrier panel to place your newborn in, as well as acting as a stylish nursing tank.

I absolutely love the Soothe Shirt because it allows me to be close to my little Ben, comfortably might I add, then have some arm freedom. What's great about this company is that they also have a dad version of their Soothe Shirt. Yes mama's you heard that right! A DAD version, so that way all the daddies out there have a chance to baby wear as well! 

For more information and details about the Soothe Shirt check it out here: www.lalabu.com

Skye Footwear
As a c-section mama, I faced a ton of challenges during my recovery phase. One of the activities my doctors encouraged me to do to speed up the healing process was to walk as much as possible. But with a c-section also comes limited movement, namely, bending... especially bending over to tie shoelaces! It pretty much left me to my ballet flats and flip flops as postpartum options for footwear. Definitely non ideal options for middle of winter walks or activities.

Enter Skye Footwear! A little backstory on this innovative footwear company. Their goal was to engineer the perfect and most comfy shoe. Designed for the utmost comfort without sacrificing style, I can honestly say that these shoes are some of the best I've ever worn!

Even better? I have the "Lons" shoe which is their classic slip on style of shoes. Let me tell you, not only was the slip on shoes a lifesaver during my c-section recovery, but the shoe's impressive arch support and comfy materials made my post pregnancy walks a breeze. The cherry on top? The shoe is simple and classic enough that it goes with a majority of my daily outfits, from workouts to casual wear.

Find your perfect pair of SKYE footwear here: skyefootwear.com

SRC Recovery Leggings
Throughout my pregnancy my absolute favorite thing to wear were leggings. So it's no surprise that in my postpartum phase leggings remained my go to clothing item! Let's just say I'm a leggings girl at heart. 

I was thrilled to review SRC's pregnancy leggings in my original "Loves List" post a few months back since they became my go to maternity bottoms. So I'm even more excited to share my love for their post birth recovery leggings!

SRC Health specializes in leggings and shorts for moms and mom's to be. While their maternity leggings provided relief for those pesky pregnancy body symptoms like back, hip and leg pains, their recovery version is a godsend of support for any mama in the postpartum phase.

Again, as a c-section mama, I would cringe at anything that would look like it could rub against my inaction site because.. OUCH. Regular leggings were out as an option because their waistbands would be too near my incision site and basically, it's hard to wear pre-baby leggings in general after birth because... HIPS OH MY! LOL. And one would think that just wearing your old maternity leggings would help since they would come up over the belly. But I found that my plain knit maternity leggings just didn't provide enough support. So I was so thankful when I received my recovery SRC leggings! They not only provided the much needed tummy support for a post baby belly, but they just feel.... amazing. They are much sturdier than my regular knit leggings and have that awesome "athleisure" looking style rather than my standard cotton knit leggings.

The SRC recovery leggings have been my #1 go to piece of daily clothing during my entire post birth phase!

So there it is! A few of my favorite things, mama edition! Although I was sent these items for review, I fully endorse each one 100x over. I truly do love each of these products, hence the "Loves List" recognition. Each of these items have help me in one way or another during my postpartum recovery and beyond. Thank you for reading along and stay tuned for more PB&J adventures, mamahood goodness and fun to come! 💜

Our PB&J favorite holiday things!

With the holidays in full swing and Christmas literally around the corner, I thought it'd be fun to list a few of my favorite things this holiday season!

KEEP Collective x Disney
Who doesn't love Disney jewelry?! I know I do! It's my perfect way to infuse a bit of Disney into everyday life when I can't be at the parks. Right now, I'm absolutely LOVING the KEEP Collective Disney collection. If you haven't heard about KEEP, check out their site HERE. They specialize in gorgeous bracelets that can be customized with interchangeable charms and accessories. The bands come in all types of materials and colors. The charms come in an endless variety with something for everyone, too. You probably already know my favorite, their Disney collection! 😉

I See Me! Books
I've mentioned these books before in my previous "Loves List" post, but I love them so much, I just had to mention them again! One of our favorite pastimes with Baby PB&J is storytime. We love to read him all sorts of books and feel him give happy kicks in reaction to them. When we received our I See Me! books, we instantly fell in love with them. Our absolute favorite has to be from their personalized pet book collection. Yes, you read that right, I See Me! books are personalized children's books and they have a whole book collection dedicated to your own furry family member. We were able to customize a book to be all about our own little pup, Datsy! It's literally the most adorable book we've ever read.

Another wonderful thing about I See Me! books is that you not only get an adorable personalized book to read, but for the holidays, you can do something absolutely beautiful for a child who may need a little extra cheer. I See Me! has partnered with the Children's Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) for their "Letters of Love" campaign. Participating is simple, all you have to do is go to the site HERE, write a letter of hope or encouragement to a child being supported by the CCRF and that's it! For every 50 letters written, I See Me! books will donate a personalized book to the CCRF. How wonderful is that?!

Hello Sweetie Pies
I love sweets. I mean, I really, really love sweets. When I discovered these adorable pie pops on Instagram, it was love at first sight 😍 Not only do these pie pops look cute, but they come in all different types of flavors (Strawberry Pie is our favorite!!!) and best of all? They're available in different shapes like hearts and my personal favorite: Mickey!!!!

A huge thank you to Jess, the pie maker extraordinaire from Hello Sweetie Pies for our own little "PB&J" box. Check out all the sweetness at Hello Sweetie Pies

Ears, Ears, Ears!
Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than a cute pair of mouse ears! I've been known to be an ear "aficionado" and actually have quite a collection of Disney headwear. I just can't get enough! I frequently get asked about my favorite small ear shops. There's just so many out there, but here's a handful of a few of my favorites!

ToNeverNeverland
I first came across this shop because of their French Bulldog ears! Not only are these ears lightweight, but their unique fabric patterns are amazing!
Rainbow Ears!!!
To Never Neverland Ears: www.etsy.com/shop/ToNeverNeverland

Sparkles and magic are one way to describe this shop's gorgeous ears! I bought my rainbow shimmer pair of ears from this wonderful shop and I can't say enough good things about the shop owner, Iris. She's such a sweetheart!
Shining Shimmering Ear: /www.etsy.com/shop/shiningshimmeringear

Disney park ears!
Can't forget about the classic Disney park ears! The Disney parks have truly "upped" their game in regards to merchandise and their ears (Rose gold, anyone?) but I really loved the cheerful holiday ears they had in stock this year! 

JORD Wood Watches
If you're looking for something really unique this holiday season, you'll have to check out JORD watches. They were kind enough to send me one of their gorgeous wood watches as part of the holiday campaign and it's the perfect compliment to some of my holiday looks.

As always, thank you so much for reading along and for letting me share my holiday favorites list with you all! Happy holiday shopping everyone and until next time, take care 💜




November PB&J Loves List!

November PB&J Mama Loves List!

Pregnancy has brought about so many wonderful moments with our little rainbow on the way! From watching my baby bump grow, to discovering all the fun this journey has along the way, it's brought about so much love and happiness into our little PB&J world.

In what I'm hoping I can do every so often is a "PB&J Loves" list! It'd basically be a few of my favorite things that I've come across, bought or been gifted that'd I'd love to share with you all. So let's get to some of my November favorite things: Mama edition!

Disney Baby
For this Disney loving mama, Disney Baby has been my absolute favorite "go to" for outfitting and prepping for Baby PB&J's arrival! I'm truly becoming addicted to baby clothes shopping for our little one. And yes, I know he'll be growing out of his clothing in the blink of an eye, but I can't help it when I find the cutest items like this:
Fun fact about this alien sweater, I had originally seen a version of it at Tokyo Disney during our Healing Trip last February. We didn't pick it up since we were still healing from the loss of our angel son, but I remember taking a photo and mentioning that "someday" I'd be able to find and use it for a little rainbow. That "someday" has become present day and now we have one for our little miracle to wear when he arrives!
The original Alien sweater I saw at Tokyo Disney the year before!
Another beautiful thing I've found during this pregnancy is the kindness from my beautiful friends on here! Social Media is the most amazing thing, it has connected me with some of the sweetest souls, fellow mamas, Disney fans and more. Not only has their support been amazing, but some have even sent some generous and amazing gifts our way for baby PB&J! 
Our little one is Mouseketeer ready, all thanks for my dear friend Naylise!

I have been told over and over again that babies grow so quickly that they end up growing out of their clothing super fast or never even get to wear certain items. My fellow Disney mama, Rachel contacted me and generously donated an entire boxful of her son's old Disney Baby clothing! This was something that truly touched my heart and I hope to continue this act of kindness and donate Baby PB&J's Disney clothing to another fellow expecting Disney mama in the future, too!
Box full of the cutest Disney Baby clothes!
Books on Books on Books!
One of our favorite pastimes right now is reading to Baby PB&J each night! Our little one already has a growing baby book library. It's been the most amazing thing to read to him and feel him respond with his little (or really BIG) kicks when story time starts!

One beautiful book we have come across has been from "I See Me!" personalized books. I See Me! specializes in personalized children's books that are beyond adorable. They even have a line of Pet themed books that are guaranteed to be the cutest pet book you'll ever read! You can customize the pet to look like your own fur baby and some book sets even come with a personalized bandana and placemat for your pup! We got one personalized for our first "baby", our frenchie, Datsyuk. Let's just say that this book has been our #1 to read to both Baby PB&J and Datsy on a daily basis since it has arrived!
How adorable is this personalized book based on Datsyuk?! 
Not only are these adorable books a joy for kids (or your fur baby), but the company is doing something quite wonderful in honor of the holiday season. I See Me! books is participating in the Letters of Love campaign which is a collaboration with the Children's Cancer Research Fund (CCRF). It's so simple to do, just go to the site and write a few encouraging words of hope and love to a child. For every 50 letters I See Me! receives, they'll donate a personalized book to a child supported by the CCRF. You can also donate directly to the CCRF and spread a little joy to a child who may need it this year!
Write a letter for a great cause with I See Me! and their "Letters of Love" 


Maternity Style
The last thing on my "loves" list this month is my love of all things comfy and lovely for my growing baby belly. Maternity wear!

I was sent a pair of these amazing SRC Pregnancy Leggings to review and I can honestly say that I absolutely love them! They are a specially designed pair of leggings for the mom to be in mind. They provide a gentle compression to help improve stability, reduce swelling and improve muscle tone. The compression was something I was worried about at first, but once the leggings are on, they feel so comfortable. I can liken the feeling to that of wearing tights, lightweight and providing support. The leggings can be worn alone and have a great "activewear" look to them. They're also thin enough to wear underneath clothing, so a big plus for those chilly winter months coming up. The leggings can also can help reduce pelvic pain due to it's ergonomic structure and provide support to where you need it most during pregnancy. All in all, a big win!

As much as I love pregnancy and my growing bump, I have been having the non fun aspects that come with a changing body, the aches and pains. I have a small case of pregnancy sciatica and now that I'm in my 3rd trimester, the pregnancy aches have been coming in full force (hello, hip discomfort!). Daily activities used to be quite tiresome, but thankfully, with stretching, light exercise and support like SRC Leggings, I have been able to manage the physical aches and stay active!
These leggings are a staple whenever I head out for a walk!
SRC Leggings helping me & Datsy stay active during pregnancy!
Not only do SRC leggings help support your changing body during pregnancy, but they also have a line of recovery leggings and shorts to help after birth. Obviously I'm not at that stage yet, but I'll be happily wearing a pair of their recovery leggings once our little one arrives!

Check out SRC Leggings entire line of pregnancy leggings and shorts HERE (SRC Health)
**SRC Leggings were sent to this mama in exchange for an honest product review**


A huge thank you to the beautiful friends for supply Baby PB&J with so much upcoming Disney Style! Also a thank you to I See Me! books for being a source of such creative and adorable personalized books. Also a huge shout out to SRC Health Leggings for providing the amazing pregnancy leggings that have helped keep me active and in maternity style.

Thank you for reading along, everyone! 💜
