When Dom was born we were so spoiled with meals from friends and family and now 8 months later I struggle with the hustle of momming, working full time and coming up with something to eat. Doing BLW, especially, has made me more conscious of what we eat (AKA we can’t eat pizza every night). One of my friends and I were chatting about food delivery services and she mentioned @everyplate. 🌿

Guys..WE LOVE it so far. We recently received our first box and it’s so easy to follow the 30 minute recipes. Tonight we had Dijon Butter Steak and the best part is it’s BLW friendly because we make the recipe ourselves and know exactly what seasonings and ingredients are going into our little ones belly. My favorite was the salad, Tom of course loved the steak and Dom...he loved the box 🤣 #myeveryplate
🌿

Have you ever received a meal delivery service? I’m hooked. And if you haven’t and want to try @everyplate you can receive 6 free meals of EveryPlate just use code BALKANINA30 #everyplatepartner (click link in bio).

Wanna know what a non-Pinterest mom & wife  did for Valentine’s Day? I gifted Tom the delivery of heart shaped pizza to his work and Dom got himself some new diapers from @abbyandfinn.co 🌿 
Tom has been having so many asthma attacks over the past few months and I finally made him go in. Turns out his asthma attacks are triggered by 1 or more of the 41 chemicals in DIAPERS 😳⚠️ Ok maybe my baby handled the diapers fine and I never even gave them a second thought...until now. 🌿

I found @abbyandfinn.co and did my research. This diaper has NO HARMFUL substances (including no known allergens). They’re more affordable than other natural brands, their ingredient list is short, they have great reviews, hold up over night, they have a monthly subscription option and now I have a piece of mind that my husband won’t have another asthma attack and my child had less chemicals on his skin! Win/Win! 🌿

Moral of the story. Buy your baby good diapers and order pizza for your husband. What better way to show love? Tell me below what you got your hubby and/or kiddos for V day? Also, what diapers do you use? Do you love them?

We are most alive when we are giving love! 💗

Do you know who St. Valentine is? He was a catholic priest who encouraged LOVE by marrying soldiers against the law. He was then murdered for his sin. It was believed that single soldiers fought harder in war so marriage and families were not supported. 💗

It’s ironic if you ask me - I think we fight harder when we are in love, what do you think? Happy Valentine’s Day and go love somebody today!!
The other day I got Dom and I all ready to go out on the town and when we got to our destination he, of course, had a poopy and guess what...I HAD NO WIPES ...or an extra pair of socks, yes he had poop on his socks 😬🤦🏻‍♀️. Please tell me I’m not alone and you’ve done something like this before? #mombrain
➖

I get asked ALL the time to do a diaper bag story- what one do I carry? What’s in it? Would you guys want to see this? And yes I have wipes in there now 🤣 ➖

I love my @lilyjadeco bag...so much I now have the Shaylee in black. AND they were so kind to offer you guys a 15% off code using SHAYLEELOVE. The best part about this bag is how deep it is and the removable insert organizer 🙌🏻 #LilyJade #diaperbag ➖

Baby Cupid brought me endless amounts of coffee because he hearts me...but anyone else feel like their baby is Cupid?
💗

I told my mom that Dom started crying after he saw I was crying over that book today (see stories) and she said “he’s a sweet and sensitive little man.” I love that he is sweet and sensitive. My husband may have been raised by a single mom but she sure as heck showed him it was okay to be kind, gentle and sensitive. That’s exactly what I want for our son. We show him so much love, tears, happiness and we give high fives and hugs every five minutes! 💗

Raise your hand if you’re raising your little to be sweet and sensitive 💗🖐🏻 ‘heart you’ mug from my sweet friend @sweet_peas_and_sweeties
I read somewhere that around 8 ish months babies start to understand the word “no” and what it means. So I need your help moms, what’s the best way to gently discipline an 8 month old?! - and I want him to learn but also feel loved through it. I don’t want “NO” to be a mean word, I want it to be valuable. #parentingisconfusing http://liketk.it/2yYIs #liketkit @liketoknow.it
