The meaning behind my blog name - Our Life With Aleksia (and now Brooklyn), shortened to Our Life.
Well it's pretty self explanatory. No reason why I chose it. I wanted Our Life, but of course that was already taken so I knew adding my daughters name in there it would be available.

Everyone must go and check out Sugar Snappers Floored! line. This is SUCH a great idea and you don't even have to buy and lug around expensive/heavy floors. I love this idea and can't wait to own a set or even all three.
You can go from one style hardwood floor to another, ALL in Photoshop.
Christmas Cards Through The Years
Sunday, December 5, 2010
Sunday, December 5, 2010
I just love getting Christmas cards in the mail. I love decorating a large mirror in my living room with all the cards we get. I especially love the photo cards. I love seeing all those gorgeous families and smiling faces. Every year I have had kids I have always sent out a photo card and I have always used Shutterfly. I just love all their wonderful choices and their prices are always good too. They always ship out my cards relatively quickly as well.
In 2007, our first year as a family with a child we used this picture on our card...
In 2008 we used this picture on our Shutterfly Photo Cards...
In 2009, our last year with just ONE kid we used this photo...
In 2010, I am super excited, for I now have TWO beautiful girls. I would show you what this year's card is going to look like but I don't want to ruin the surprise, so you are all just going to have to wait.
I think this year I am going to go with one of these...A flat stationary card by Shutterfly. I really like the idea of the card being a bit thicker. I just can't wait.
So family and friends stay tuned for this year's gorgeous card by Shutterfly.

| Look at my little peanut, man, she is so big now. |

| Gorgeous little family. |

| Well, I guess you can say there are two kiddos here, for I am 6 months pregnant in this picture. |

Baby Bond Review and Giveaway.
Friday, September 24, 2010
Friday, September 24, 2010
Is it just my baby that absolutely hates being covered up with a nursing cover while she eats... Not to mention it gets so incredibly hot under those things and you can't see what you are doing. Nursing in public was getting harder and harder as my little one got older, for she would just grab and pull at the cover and would fuss and whine because she was either bored or hot under there.
I came across BabyBond nursing sashes and instantly fell in love with their unique idea. Why cover the baby up? I was so excited when Baby Bond agreed to let me review one of their nursing "covers". I couldn't wait to get mine in the mail to try it out. Their mission statement says it all...
BabyBond™ nursing accessories cover mom, not her baby. Mom is able to maintain her modesty. Baby remains uncovered benefiting from the infinite opportunity to make eye contact, interact, and communicate. After all, dining is social.
Let me give you a little peek at what a BabyBond looks like and then I will go over my favorite features!
BabyBond comes in a few varieties, but they all work the same way. The only things that changes are burp cloth, fabric options and one is adjustable and can be used two ways. I love that the BabyBond works like a nursing top, one piece of fabric goes up and one goes down. This action creates an opening for your baby to eat through. Your shirt you have on keeps your sides covered and the BabyBond keeps the rest of you covered. Baby can eat and not have a blanket over his/her head!
I decided to go ahead and get the BabyBond Couture. I like the versatility this one had to offer. It was both a nursing cover and a belly band, it could be used to nurse from the top or the bottom of your shirt. Plus its adjustable; great for right after you have the baby and have all that extra baby weight and when you loose the weight after a few months. The Couture comes in Espresso(dark brown), Hudson(black), Riviera(turquoise), Classic(navy) and Barcelona(charcoal).
All three of these sell for $35.00! I think it is great that you have so many choices and all for the same price.
It is very easy to put on and also really easy to use. I was worried that they wouldn't work well on my larger chest but there was no issue at all. I also love how it looks like a peice of your own clothing. It really looks like you are just cradling your child and nursing at all.
Here I am using the Baby Bond nursing my 4 1/2 month old.
This is seriously one of the best inventions for nursing Moms. You don't have to have your modesty compromised, but you don't have to stash your baby under a blanket anymore! I also love that they come with a little pouch to store them in and the fabric they are made out of is SO soft. They are 100% cotton and machine washable.

Tummy Bug and 5 Months.
Friday, September 17, 2010
Friday, September 17, 2010
My sweet baby girl, Brooklyn, just got over her first tummy bug. It's so sad when they are so sick. This is all new to me too, Aleksia's first time ever getting sick she was 3 years old. I am glad she is doing better today, cause the last 2 days she was not a happy camper.
Also, tonight is the first night Brooklyn is sleeping in her crib (in her room). Up until now she has been in the bassinet in our room. This is such a bittersweet moment, but I know she is ready. She was getting harder to put down at night in the cradle cause of it being so small. She has been napping in her crib for awhile now, so she is used to it and sleep really well in there actually. I guess mommy has just been putting it off. Wah, my baby is getting too big, too fast. She is 5 months old today. Aleksia was 4 months when we moved her out of the bassinet and into her own room in a crib. I don't know why I waited longer with Brooklyn, I guess I just want to baby her as long as I can.
Even though she has been sick she loves her sister to pieces and will always laugh at her.
