My hair eats product for breakfast... no matter what I do, or how much is used, my natural curls suck everything out of the product and then my hair goes right back to the way it was before!
Which means I need something that works AND doesn’t break the bank. Enter Aussie products. Let’s say I curl my hair for a different look, this hairspray keeps it in place without making me look like I’m wearing a helmet, AND it maintains the volume that I love. Not to mention it’s supwr easy to work with. If you spray your hair and realize it’s not what you want, shake it out a little and start over! Plus, no flaky residue.

My kids adore bath time! But, of course, it’s not the same without bubbles!
Which is why we use the Ombra brand. The essential oils in the product are wonderful for soothing the littles before bed, and since you need less than a teaspoon to get an enormous amount of bubbles, the cost to use ratio is AMAZING.

We picked up a pump long before I delivered just in case I needed it at the hospital. Turns out, I did! More to help the labour process along, but it helped! And when baby came I was already used to using it, and I do about every day. It's super gentle, portable and easy to use. The combination of plug in and battery means I can take it anywhere. My wee one is still young so she's usually with me, but she is getting to an age where she prefers to look around rather than nurse, but she would take a bottle. If I have the pump along that means she can still have a meal, even if she's not nursing. And having the stash in the freezer is pretty nice too! -

Decided to try playtex bottles with inserts once my little one was eating more at a time, and when she became more alert. Why? Because she decided looking around was more important than eating, and then would be upset because she was hungry! Which means the milk is sloshing around in the bottle and she's getting mostly air. With the inserts you can get rid of all the air and those nasty gas bubbles for baby.
The only negative thing I can say, the liners need to gently be pushed in to expel all the excess air. We were sitting in a service, baby is getting fussy and I'm frantically trying to get the air out of the bottle only to have the liner slip off and breast milk went everywhere! so just a note to be a little more gentle when getting that air out of the bottle!

This was the one formula my exclusively breastfed baby would take to. I was so sure I would be able to only breastfeed, but we hit a growth spurt and for a short time, my supply could not keep up. So, we tried Good Start! It didn't affect my wee one's digestive system, she took to the different flavour and it helped her stay full just a little longer. It was definitely a life saver in that moment where my supply couldn't keep up. Now that my supply has returned, we only give a bottle now and again, and it's always good start. Mainly because it doesn't seem to affect our child's tummy when we only give a bottle once and awhile
