Toddlers are a rare breed. All of a sudden, your sweet little baby realizes they have the power to make choices. And once they realize that, they start testing that power. Over and over and over, all day long…
Opinions, emotions, and tantrums, oh my!
This post was sponsored by Eli Supplemental Newborn Screening, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Becoming a mom was one of the biggest, most life-changing events of my life so far. All of a sudden, I was 100% responsible for another person. There were so many things to think about and plan, and all the decisions and choices regarding this new tiny life were up to me. It was, and still is, incredibly overwhelming! After all, all moms want to make the right choices for their babies. You do all the research you can – you read the books, talk to other moms, and listen to your pediatrician. But ultimately, each decision is up to you.
When I had my first baby, I relied heavily on the advice of those around me, but honestly didn’t do much outside research of my own. When I was pregnant with my second child, I knew better and decided to really look into my options on lots of topics like birth, breastfeeding, and sleep training. But one thing I didn’t even think to look at was the type of screening available for newborns for treatable diseases.
Thankfully, both of my children were healthy. But thinking back, I really wish I had done my research. I didn’t realize that pediatricians don’t test for all of the possible conditions that may affect newborns. Conditions that are treatable if they’re caught early on. Most states screen for the conditions on the federal government’s “Recommended Uniform Screening Panel.” But there are up to 32 other possible conditions that can be treated if they’re caught early enough. Even if you had extensive prenatal screening.
Eli is a newborn screening service that screens for an additional 32 treatable conditions and risks. Eli is at the forefront of newborn screening technology to provide accurate and reliable screening results for additional treatable conditions. The process is simple – just order your kit before your due date, bring the kit to your newborn’s first pediatric visit (where your doctor or nurse will collect the required samples), ship the samples back, and receive the results in a week. You’ll have all the information you need to make informed decisions about the health of your newborn. You can worry less, and focus more on the joy that comes with having a sweet new little baby. Eli also offers genetic counselors to answer questions and help guide care so your baby will have the happiest, healthiest start!
I’m always looking for yummy new foods to try at Disney World each time we go. I love scrolling through Instagram hashtags and checking out Disney food blogs to see what looks yummy. Disney has some amazing food! Before our last trip, I saw an Instagram post about the bread service at the Sanaa Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I knew I had to try it! I’ve always been a big fan of anything that comes with lots of different sauces, so this was right up my alley.
Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kucha, and Paneer Paratha. Served with the following sauces – Cucumber Riata, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chuntey, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, or Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle. They were all super tasty and everyone in our family had fun trying each one and deciding what they liked best!
Magic Kingdom has the castle and so many amazing rides. But Epcot has yummy food, the World Showcase, and Soarin’ – which is my all-time favorite ride. I really can’t decide which one I like better! What’s your favorite Disney park?
The first stop on our first Magic Kingdom day? Taking a ton of pictures in front of the castle, of course! I booked us an early dining reservation for breakfast just so we could take some pictures without a million people in the background.
On our Magic Kingdom day, I Disney Bounded as Cinderella. I just needed some glass slippers!
