Must-haves for baby (0-6 months)

-

 

Hello friends,


(My actual nursery)

Note: I've updated this list as a now mom. 

Here's the thing, it gets overwhelming to hear people tell you what you need for your baby. No one tells you about practicality, and everyone just assumes you have the space for all these things. 

If you're a first time mama-to-be, or it's been a while since you've had a baby, or simply you're reading as food for thought and you have pregnant friends and upcoming showers to attend, these lists will help you get an idea of what moms and babies actually need! 

The baby market nowadays is so modern and great! It's a good time to be a mom! From fancy pacifiers to the trendiest clothes, I feel like the following never get old, and are super important to have. 

Also consider if you live in a compact place, such as a small house or apartment, you definitely want to keep your registry as basic as possible. I've also put together a list of items that aren't a necessity, but would be nice to have.  


Enjoy,

ALL ABOUT THAILAND: Testimony + updates

1. Testimony before the trip -Keysi Cordero Hello everyone!!! On July 16th, 2015 a team and I will be going to Chiang Mai, Thailand to share the Love of Jesus! Here's a little bit of how all of this unfolded and the things the Lord did and still is doing, in order for this trip to happen: This year the Lord put in my heart to start saving money, in my head I was like yeah... I really need to because lately I've been wasting my money unwisely (Movie theater at least once a week, dining out on weekdays etc.) But in reality the Lord had something else in store for me and I didn't understand yet. I started saving money with the idea of going to France in the summer since I was going to start my French program this fall and thought it would be good to come back with more knowledge of the language and culture, yet the doors were totally shut! The french courses weren't available for the Spring or Fall, I was told I might not be able to keep my position at work...

I Could Die In Peace - Original Poem

I Could Die In Peace I could die in peace... I've traveled the world I've experienced true love And I've served the Lord I could certainly die in peace Close my eyes and see His bliss Yet there are many other places to go There are new reasons to love And serve the Lord even better than before I could definitely die in peace Had Jesus not come to take my place I'd be lost & far from grace His abundant love that'll never cease Brings me hope so I fall in awe on my knees KC

My experience at Cyclebar (indoor cycling studio)

A Brief Overview on Fitness   So I've always disliked gyms... I haven't been to a gym since 2014. Not my style, not something I'm into at all! I played soccer my whole life or danced, and this was literally how I stayed fit and healthy for years. When I moved to the city, it was much harder to play outside or ride my bike to school. I've always been conscious of my eating habits, and the fact that I needed to do something in regards to my physical health. I took yoga this summer with my best friend and it was truly a blast! However, I didn't feel like I was sweating enough, or burning enough calories. I was worried about what my future in fitness would look like, especially with my upcoming wedding & getting closer to winter time, which limits you from any outdoor physical activities. How I got plugged in I saw different ads about Cyclebar, and I didn't really consider it till I saw that one of my classmates from high school was an instructor the...
