I have been compensated by JOHNSON’S® Baby for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. I no longer have a baby in my home and there are days when I long for that baby bedtime routine with lots of snuggles. Not only was it a comfort to my […]

Free Baby Box for Safe Sleep with The Baby Box Co.
I partnered with Baby Box for this post but all opinions are entirely my own.

With the warmer weather, there’s nothing I enjoy more than some delicious spring salads! It hasn’t even gotten that hot here in Cali yet, but I’ve really upped my salad game.
