My Family Safari Day with the 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

September 07, 2020/ Shasha

Over the last few months, I’ve been on the hunt for social distancing family friendly activities. I heard great things about the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center (it’s a really cool drive thru safari park in Glen Rose) and figured it would be the perfect social distancing activity. Aside from wearing proper safari themed attire, and packing safari snacks, a sporty SUV is an absolute must! I was thrilled when my friends at Toyota allowed me to drive the 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro for our safari day!

My Amazing buybuy BABY Car Seat Shopping Experience

August 27, 2020/ Shasha

We found the one! No, I’m not referring to a puppy, I’m talking about Skyy’s new convertible car seat. To be honest, I was a little scared to jump into the convertible car seat selection process. We bought her newborn car seat before she was born and we spent lots of time researching and looking through reviews. Selecting a car seat is a big decision, and one that you definitely want to be happy with. I’m really happy with our choice and buybuy BABY made the process so easy.

Mama Must-Have for Baby Gas and Digestive Issues: Evivo Probiotics

May 24, 2020/ Shasha

The newborn stage was the hardest for the hubster and I. From the get go, Skyy suffered from horrible gas and experienced digestion issues. Bicycle kicks, stretches, gas drops, and tummy rubs became our norm, but they didn’t eliminate her issues. I felt so much guilt because I couldn’t make her pain go away. The fussiness and lack of sleep only added to a difficult situation.

All the Details on Creating a Baby Registry at buybuy BABY

July 11, 2019/ Shasha

I’m going to be 100% honest. Creating a baby registry was the one task that I dreaded the most during this baby prep journey. As a first time mom, I felt so anxious over creating one. Although I received many product recommendations from seasoned mommy friends and family, the task seemed so daunting! I’m happy to say the hubster and I partnered with buybuy BABY to create our registry and the experience was phenomena! I seriously can’t recommend it enough for mamas-to-be.
