Welcome to My Blog!

Hi! My name is Alanna Waterhouse and I would like to welcome you to my first blog post. I am 24 years old, living in the Rochester, New York area with my husband, Michael, and my beautiful daughter, Clara. I am currently a full-time EMT in a suburban EMS agency and my husband is a Paramedic with another agency in the area. 


We currently have four pet parrots: two Blue Front Amazon Parrots, Patch & Hook, a Yellow Napped Amazon Parrot, Peter, and a Parrotlet, Zazu. We are looking forward to welcoming a dog to our family sometime within the next few years.

Some of my passions in life include taking care of my family, continuing my education in EMS and medicine, hiking, camping, fitness, and FOOD! I also enjoy getting the opportunity to try new products (for my daughter and for myself), and forming short reviews on them and sharing that experience with my friends and family. 


I am hoping to use this blog as a way to shed some light on my everyday life and some of the products I use. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

Silver Linings
This was probably one of the hardest parenting weeks I’ve ever experienced (with the exception of our hospital stay). What started with a small cold that spread around our household over the weekend quickly turned into lots of whining, boogers, and sleepless nights. I can deal with the first two, but Clara refusing to sleep all night every night completely burnt me out. 
When Clara turned eight months old, she entered the dreaded sleep regression. Getting her to sleep at night had already been a challenge, but then she started waking up 3-4 times EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Oh yeah, it was like living with a newborn all over again. At first, we were able to get her to go back to sleep relatively quickly, ten-minute awake time at the most. But as time went on, it just got worse and worse. Nothing would make this child sleep. 
About two weeks ago, her pediatrician became concerned there may be something more going on than just a sleep regression. Because she just waking up, she wa…

We’re Expecting!
I’ve been a little quiet lately… and it’s because we have been keeping a secret! Our little family is so excited to announce we will be welcoming a baby boy this September!!


This came as a shock to all of us. Mike and I didn’t have any plans of having another baby for at least another year, but as well know, most things in life never goes to plan. Here’s how we found out…
I woke up one morning and started our routine as usual, getting Clara out of bed and start breakfast. I made scrambled eggs for her and myself but just wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t think anything of it and made something else. We continue our day and start running errands, one of which included a stop at a local meat market. Y’ALL! I couldn’t do it, the smell was killing me and I had to walk out before we even bought anything. We left and I sat in the backseat of the car with Clara so she would stop freaking out about being alone. Mike could tell I wasn’t feeling well while sitting in the back and joking…

My Easy Diapering System On-the-Go!

Now that Clara is 8.5 months old, changing her diaper is one of the biggest challenges of my day. She rolls, kicks, yells, cries, and reaches for everything around her (including, but not limited to, my hair). Changing her diaper when we are out and about is a WHOLE OTHER BEAST. 
There is only so much I can do to distract her while I wrestle a new diaper around her shockingly-strong legs. It’s a battle of wills and I hate it. Especially when it came to using public changing tables. There has been more than one instance of Clara almost rolling off the table after power-kicking my stomach. I resorted to changing her in the car – with little improvement. The back seat of my car is lightly inclined, which only encourages her to roll away from me. 
Recently, a company called Littlegem4U contacted me about trying out their diaper caddy. They sent me this adorable caddy with a ton of organization space. I mean, who couldn’t use a little more organization in…
