Meet baby Elijah Josías! Our newest edition to the family was born Monday afternoon, right on his due date, and we couldn’t be more smitten. The public hospital birth was smooth and quick, as baby E. arrived less than an hour after I checked in at the hospital, exactly as I’d hoped! Birth story coming…
My Birth Playlist
When Summer Elizabeth was born, I had a playlist ready to go, stereo loaded. We used only one of those CDs before my midwife arrived and determined the music not “soothing” enough. The rest of the birth went on under the approved calming harp melodies that the doula had in her handbag. Not my cup…
6 Steps to Baby’s Good Night’s Sleep
Who else wants more sleep? Nighttime sleep can be evasive with a baby in the house. Many parents struggle upwards of a year coaxing their little ones nightly into sporadic stints of slumber. Help your child get to sleep faster, and win yourself some much-needed shut eye by gleaning a few tips from our effective…
Combatting Newborn Scratches // Mommy-Brain Mixer
New parents usually find out they have a lot to learn as soon as their blessing baby arrives on the scene. For us, that was especially true. I mean, Summer Elizabeth was born to a mama who’d never ever held a child under 2 years old, let alone change a diaper. Now you see why…

Summer Elizabeth loved playing out in the front yard scooping Jello from container to container, throwing it into the air, and squishing it around with her…
How to Prep Oranges for Baby // Mommy-Brain Mixer
Our house was full of toddler energy last week, two one-year olds curious as can be, exploring their world and playing together…when they weren’t snoozing. We babysat Summer’s little friend. His mama packed him lunch, including mandarin oranges, which I’d never given Summerbeth. I was curious about giving her an orange, concerned about seeds and…
3-Ingredient Natural Cloth Baby Wipe Solution
Last week, we talked about how to use cloth baby wipes. As promised, today I’m sharing with you a natural three-ingredient cloth baby wipe solution that we use on our baby. In general, I use plain tap water on cloth wipes at diaper changes, but when Summer Elizabeth has a rash, I mix up this…
How to Use Cloth Baby Wipes
Cloth wipes are a trusty sidekick to a fluffy cloth diaper stash. I’m using cloth diapers on our baby’s behind, so it just makes sense to use cloth baby wipes too. I’m already doing cloth diaper laundry, so adding in a few wipes is no problem. I won’t even start on the cost savings of…
Best Waterside Sun Protection for Baby // Mommy-Brain Mixer
We spent a great 5 days in Guanacaste this week, soaking up sunshine and eating playing in the sand at Playa Hermosa (Hermosa Beach, Costa Rica.) Summer Elizabeth sported her first ever baby rashguard, which really seems to be the best waterside sun solution for babies. Rashguards lend UV 50 sun protection depending on the brand, meaning anything…
